Single 10, Album 4

So if Celine didn't do QVC her sales would've been similar to Cher's opening week. Kinda mind boggling.

 

Agreed, but we do have to remember that Cher got in all of the huge appearances earlier on: X Factor, DWTS, etc. Otherwise she wouldn't have even performed that well.

Celine has yet to appear on any high-rated televised event like during the TC era

Single 10, Album 4

 

Single is going to be edged soon with One Republic (based on the popularity bar), the sales is dipping now..She would be out of top 10 soon, i hope not

[Say What?]

Well, with all of the promo in the USA done before the album release, one has to be happy with those results. It was their choice to gamble with the USA and focus on Europe while the album is out. Hopefully she'll do a few higher rated shows with Ne-Yo later on. Otherwise it'll be just another waste.

I hope not! still, a TOP 10 hit was totally out of our thoughts, so let's be mega happy with a TOP 15 hit!!!!

Even with the big promo, I still think Celine would not pull more than 100 K debut..

I think she has not gained lots of new fans over the last 6 years.

And to be honest, Taking Chances album was not really my favourite. I am not sure but lot of people who are non-celine fan who bought the TC album just decided not to follow up with her new album anymore...And this apply to not only US but worldwide in general.

Usually album will sell well if the previous one was well-received.

Just my 2 cents

[boyblackuk]

A freind of mine has just said that gaga sold 34000 copies on the first day here, trying to find out from where so we can get Celines

[boyblackuk]

He just told me Celine is at number 2, with 22,000 copies in the first day wow, waiting on the link

I am happy for the fact that media has not bashed her for underperforming....They can be harsh and critical sometimes

[boyblackuk]

Its been announded on Radio 1 that Celine is in fact at number 2 with 22,000 copies in the first 2 days, gaga is sitting at 38,000. Not sure what eminem sales were but he is number 3. To be announced officially tomorrow

[lyn]

Hm fraid I haven't been paying attention to the other artists, but what about Eminimen's or Gaga's promo might have made their numbers do better? (I mean, ignoring differences in popularity)

[boyblackuk]

Looking at a massive debut in the UK, I can sleep well goodnight

[salsacolin]

Gaga has 2 hit singles and loads of fans and promo and airplay. I think it's pretty amazing Celine can sell this much with what promo has been done. Yes, Sony has done great promo but gaga has a tonne of airplay, web promo etc

I'm pretty impressed. It's true her sales figures are underwhelming but it's not like there are many artists selling more this week

[Peppercorn1991]

This is amazing news!

 

 

I knew when I went to pick up my copy it sold well.... As I stood looking for the best cd case, 4 others had sold...... I said to one lady "good choice".. She responded "ooooo yes... Did you she her on x-factor? Amazing"

A massive debut in the UK?

 

Doubtful.

 

She'll be down to #3 in the UK come the end of the week - the difference between her and Eminem is less than 2k apparently. Céline had a good start thanks to a £7.99 special offer deal at HMV on day one that's now ended.

 

I reckon she'll end the week having sold around 50k - which is still a reasonable first week. If she does any more than this, then it'll be great.

 

France, Switzerland, Finland & the US - all MASSIVE disappointments. I hope the promo she's got lined up improves things. I think even Canada will probably disappoint this time around as well.

Well she's not really underperforming in the US... Yes, numbers are low, but that's the case for everyone else - which explains why she debuts at #2. Eminem is a special case... Céline's numbers look bad beside his, but any other week, 77 k units is considered pretty good.

[québecflower]

Sales are a little better than taking chances in France, to say this is a disappointment is a little far fetched. The promo have not even begun.

to the least yeah, even Sony originally projected 150-160 K and then downsized it to 120-130K, and yet the true figure is much less than 120 K...

Certainly Sony would consider this as underperformed

Its not so much the sales that are disappointing, its the position.

 

Eminem sold 3x as many copies with this new album as he did with his last album in his first week, which has edged Céline out.

 

Still, even with sales - I was expecting over 40k.

Maybe underperforming in terms of past Céline numbers, but not in terms of what most artists sell these days... It's not unusal to debut at #1 in the US with 77,000 copies.... You see, if Eminem had not released his album the same week as Céline, she would have debuted at #1!!!

it's Eminem , a hip hop artist, one of the great. No comparison . We will see next week if the sales are maintening for Celine or getting stronger like with her Sans attendre album.

I read on the billboard article that only six retailers are counted on the sales and it doesn't include amazon or qvc so album sales is higher than this

 

 

The Building Chart reflects the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week (which ends Sunday) as reported by six major merchants: iTunes, Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Starbucks, Target and Anderson Merchandisers. Billboard estimates that they make up about 85% of all U.S. album sales.

^ Unfortunately sales from QVC and Amazon are already included in HDD's building chart.

I pasted exactly what retailers so where is amazon and qvc in the mix of this?

[mebe]

I'm a bit disappointed too about the numbers....BUT Celine still does pretty good on the charts and also in terms of sales considering the music industry in general and compared to other popular artists. Moreover, most of the critics and reviews have been really really good about her new album and the response from her fans have also been excellent. On Twitter, I also read a lot of comments fron non fans who say that the album or the title track is very good. She is gaining fans! In my opinion, I think this era can't be better! Celine looks fantastic. She still sings amazingly and everyone is happy!! We couldn't ask for more!! Plus we have new music to listen to as much as we can!!! Let's stay positive and let's continue to spread her new music all around for other people to discover it!!!

The album is trending on iTunes US whatever that means Edited November 13, 2013 at 02:54 AM by c4n4d4
