Loved Me Back To Life - Worldwide Charts/Sales Topic

[Davey84]

 

 

D: That's shocking. That means that without the QVC #'s she's on par with Cher

 

 

Also LMAO @ whoever thinks it's all Sony's fault that she stopped selling 20 million copies an album in 2013. I don't agree with a lot of their decisions, but what delusional world do you live in where an artist maintains that kind of success 30 years into their career?

 

I am that whoever and no I am not delusional! I don't believe that Celine can sell 20 million of a record anymore, duh! that's almost impossible nowadays, but I am realistic here. If LMBTL really only sells 70K in it's first week, then only 0,35% of who ever bought FIY, LTAL or ATW is still interested in buying a Celine record! And don't tell me they don't know about the new album, cos anyone who has visited her site, or facebook in the last few months knows she has a new album out! Where did those 20 million people go??? All I am saying is that if they choose the singles from ANDHC, OH and TC way more carefully and if she wasn't stuck in Vegas for the most of the 00's, then her popularity would be way bigger than it is today. Vegas was a gold mine for Celine and Rene, but it resulted in letting many believe Celine actually did retire in 1999

 

 

btw I don't think Celine has to fear Katy this week: her sales dropped with 68% in its second week, 'only' selling 92k, so this week it will be even less

is that from Billboard Luis? Edited November 7, 2013 at 09:36 AM by Davey84

[LuisMa]

is that from Billboard Luis?

 

No, it's the US Billboard estimates from Sony that I posted on the News thread a few weeks ago.

[Davey84]

Ah I see! too bad it isn't an updated one

[Jessyka]

Why does nobody realize that it doesn't matter if another single is released. This isn't Celine's hey day anymore!! The numbers projected are still impressive for 2013 for an artist like Celine who is not in the mainstream anymore. This isn't 1997...she's not going to be all over radio, shes not going to be number 1 for weeks on end, hell she may never even have another number 1. It could happen, but it's less than probable.

 

Exactly.

I won't worry about sales and #1's.

I just want to enjoy the album, which I love, and enjoy the fact that we have new music from Celine.

Now #6 US iTunes Albums Chart

Davey, I can't resist to tell you that you are contradicting yourself here a bit... If those 20 million people know Céline has a new album if they visited her website, facebook page, etc. well I suppose they also know that she hasn't retired if they did indeed visit her website, facebook page, etc. Just playing the devil's advocate...

[manu23]

People saying they don't care how much this album sells my start thinking it will mean less investment in future projects, longer periods between albums... The success of SA changed what they had planned for the English album. A flop now would probably change things in the future. Anyway, it's too soon, lets wait and see, I still hope Europe gives her a chance

I think it's way too early to call this album a flop. I'm waiting for UK promo. That could change everything even in USA.

Now #6 US iTunes Albums Chart

Now #2 US iTunes Albums Chart

[LuisMa]

How strange that this page shows that list and the iTunes store section on the program lists it at number 6.

[manilou]

The one posted is older! It doesn't get updated a lot... So #6 is where the album is right now!

[mike_z]

Guys, calm down!

 

I was a bit shocked after the first estimated came up, but I think it has to do with the fact that the fans of Céline haven't really been in touch with the US charts + figures since 2007, so of course this looks "drastic".

 

However, on the bright side, she's going to be the biggest seller of the week, above all new releases and established young acts except for the biggest seller of the XXIst century in America: Eminem. She's 45, she's been away for a long time and with no hit single managing to grab the #2 position is pretty extraordinary. Especially knowing the album does have legs and will probably keep on selling well through xmas!

 

And Céline has something that the rest of the artist don't. In Canada, France, and many other countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, she's still the queen. She manages to sell BIG and really BIG! That's something Mariah lost more than a decade ago.

 

Shipments were accurate, you'll see!

[luciusbright]

I think the position on the top 200 albums of billboard is what only matters, let's just wait and see.

[deccan]

I began to listen Celine stuff in 90's when I was in an age innoocent of chart or saling numbers.Now she got another brilliant album make me feel enjoying,it is enough,and the position or sales thing remind me of that she is still capable to compete in the industry,that's all!

Of course, but isn't it all so silly to act as if Celine's such a special case? I don't know any fanbase who is completely satisfied with the way their artist is managed. LInkin Park pwned Celine's #ss with their second album when she released One heart, and yet with their latest album they only sold a fraction of what LMBTL is predicted to sell in the worst possible case scenario

Point in fact: coulda woulda shoulda, but I didn't do that ~**~~*~* is a common whinefest for any fandom but the truth is Celine's career is already one of the most ridiculously successful and long in music history. Perhaps we're expecting too much

included iTunes ??

[Xpresso]

American fans, please go buy a couple more copies! NOW!

[I Drove All Night!]

i know that i will shock some people, but the world does not revolve around the united states as much as before

 

I'm an American citizen and I approve this message

 

But seriously.... it doesn't. And thank goodness for that. The rest of the world is full of amazing people.

[wjd]

In Canada, HMV have announced that Eminem is their #1 selling album act too with his new album, Céline is at #2.

 

HMV are the biggest music retailer in Canada, so its highly likely that Eminem will be #1 on the Canadian albums chart.

[peanut91]

Here is what I got from reading twitter, Facebook, forums and youtube comments lol

1) Those who pre ordered and are waiting for the shipment to arrive (like moi) went out and purchased a copy, OR WILL OVER THE WEEKAND

2) Purchased a copy on tuned and waiting for the shipment

3) will purchase it over the weekand

 

THERE IS STILL A BIG POTENTIAL. Its really sad that everything is determined within the first 24 hours. UK debut is next week and if it sells big there, it could mean a rebound of sales here in the U.S. But agreed with everyone that

1) we need a music video

2) we need her to go on more shows and the voice

3) she needs more promos here.

4) maybe a mini tour here in the U.S. would be great.

 

=> all this is possible. here how:

1) we get in contact with her management team and voice our concerns

2) we go viral, youtube, Facebook, twitter, these forums and voice it togeather

3) start a change.org petition asking for it??

 

is it even possible to rally dion fans for this cause?
