Susan Boyle Breaks Billboard Record. Rihanna Enters the Charts at #...

Posted by Media Mogul On 10:48 AM 0 comments



1. Susan Boyle "I Dreamed A Dream"*
2. Andrea Bocelli "My Christmas"
3. Adam Lambert "For Your Entertainment"*
4. Rihanna "Rated R"*
5. Lady Gaga "The Fame Monster (EP)"*
6. Lady Gaga "The Fame"
7. Miley Cryus "The Time Of Our Lives (EP)"
8. Taylor Swift "Fearless"
9. Carrie Underwood "Play On"
10. Norah Jones "The Fall"
*=Debut.


Get the full scoop and check out the remaining top 10 albums in the country after the jump.

YouTube sensation and former "Britain's Got Talent" contestant Susan Boyle's debut album "I Dreamed a Dream" opens at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 701,000 copies sold in its first week according to Nielsen SoundScan -- the best sales week for an album in the U.S. this year.

2009's previous high-water mark came when Eminem's "Relapse" sold 608,000 in its opening week. In fact, Boyle's sales frame is the best the chart has seen since AC/DC's "Black Ice" bowed with 784,000 upon its release in October 2008.

Boyle's SYCO/Columbia effort was released last Monday, Nov. 23, and the sales tracking week ended at the close of business on Sunday, Nov. 29.

The arrival of "I Dreamed a Dream" also marks the best opening week for a female artist's debut album since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. Boyle beats out Ashanti for the title, as her self-titled debut began with 503,000 in 2002.

All told, in SoundScan's tracking history, only one other debut album has seen a bigger opening week. Snoop Dogg's album "Doggystyle" barked with 803,000 in its first week back in 1993.

Boyle wasn't the only artist to drop an album in the very busy Thanksgiving shopping week, as the reality TV star led a packed release schedule.

2009 "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert's debut "For Your Entertainment" starts at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 198,000 copies. Last week, "Idol" champ Kris Allen saw his self-titled debut bow at No. 11 with 80,000.

Rihanna's fourth album "Rated R" climbs in at No. 4 with 181,000 -- the
young diva's best sales week yet. Her previous best came when her third album "Good Girl Gone Bad" started with 162,000 at No. 2 in 2007.

Lady Gaga's new eight-song quasi-EP "The Fame Monster" bows at No. 5 with 174,000 while her first album "The Fame" rises from No. 34 to No. 6 (151,000; up 429%). The latter "Fame's" total jumps this week because it combines sales of her debut set in addition to a two-disc deluxe "The Fame" package that contains both "The Fame" and the new "Monster" disc.

As for holdovers in the top 10, Andrea Bocelli's "My Christmas" stands strong at No. 2 for a third week as it shifts 218,000 (up 18%) while Miley Cyrus' Wal-Mart-exclusive EP "The Time Of Our Lives" vaults from No. 29 to No. 7 with 150,000 (up 385%) thanks in part to its $5 sale tag at the retailer last week. Taylor Swift's "Fearless" moves from No. 10 to No. 8 with 125,000 (up 48%), Carrie Underwood's "Play On" holds at No. 9 with 124,000 (up 44%) and Norah Jones' "The Fall" falls from No. 3 to No. 10 with 110,000 (down 39%).

Rihanna's New 99 Cent Album Set to Flop. Susan Boyle and Lady Gaga Set to Dominate

Posted by Media Mogul On 7:45 AM 0 comments


Susan Boyle, if expectations hold, could surpass 2009's debut week bestseller. Eminem's Relapse, which scanned 608,000 units in its first week of release, currently holds the title. Also rising through the Billboard ranks this week is Adam Lambert, whose controversial AMA performance has done nothing but boost his sales. The American Idol alum is projected to sell around 225,000 copies of his debut album, For Your Entertainment. Similarly, Lady Gaga is expected to sell around 200,000 copies of her newly released EP The Fame Monster and 150,000 additional units of her debut album, The Fame, thanks to the debut of the deluxe edition.

Then there is the good girl gone bad, Rihanna. Her 4th studio album, Rated R, is expected to move around 162,000 units this week. This is disappointing considering the whirlwind of press and promotion for her latest effort, including multiple interviews, several live performances, three singles, and two music videos. Most people argue that Rihanna has never had amazing first week sales. Good Girl Gone Bad, Rihanna’s last studio album, scanned 162,000 units its first week of release. However, Rihanna wasn't the international superstar she is today when Good Girl Gone Bad debuted back in 2007. The fact that she's being beat out by the re-release of one new artist and the debut album of another is embarrassing. She's seemingly not even providing any real competition for her competitors. In a last ditch effort to boost sales her label has even slashed the price of the CD to 99 cents on Amazon. Even iTunes singles are more expensive than 99 cents these days. McDonald's dollar menu anyone?

We reported a few days ago that according to HITS Daily Double's closing numbers, Paramore had scored the top spot on Billboard with their new album, Brand New Eyes. However, once the final tallies came in the legendary Barbra Streisand was the one who claimed the top spot. Streisand edged past Paramore with 180,000 copies solidifying her spot as the female with the most #1 albums (9 total) in Billboard chart history. She is also the only artist to have a #1 album in five consecutive decades.

Brand New Eyes gives Paramore their best sales week and highest charting position ever. Mariah Carey rounded out the top 3 with 168,000 copies of her new studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Jay Sean, on the other hand, ends the Black Eyed Peas' record chart run with his debut single, "Down," featuring Lil Wayne.

Mariah Carey's Imperfect Angels May Have Broken Wings. The Album Fails To Soar to #1.

Posted by Media Mogul On 3:21 AM 0 comments


The numbers are in and Mimi's new album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, not only missed the #1 spot but was edged out of the #2 spot by the legendary Barbra Streisand (Love is the Answer with 176,663 copies). According to HITS Daily Double, the singer's 12th studio album lands at #3 on the Billboard 200 with 172,742 copies. This comes as a shock to most fans especially considering the recent chart success of Carey's first official single, "Obsessed" and the heavy media blitz that was orchestrated to promote the album's release. Paramore clinches the #1 spot with 184,547 copies of their new album "Brand New Eyes."

So the pop diva supposedly moved her album to avoid Whitney Houston's release only to be bested by Paramore and Barbra Streisand? This is Mariah's worst first week since 2002's Charmbracelet. Despite Mariah's first week sales, plans for a remix album of Memoirs are still on track. Although details remain scant, it is rumored that Trey Songz will be featured on the remix to "Inseparable" and that the remix album will include two songs featuring collaborations with Timbaland and Jermaine Dupri that didn't make the final cut for Memoirs.

Beyonce and Lady Gaga To Be Honored at Billboard's "Women In Music" Event

Posted by Media Mogul On 11:32 PM 0 comments


"Billboard announced today pop sensation Lady GaGa will be named its "Rising Star" at the 2009 Billboard Women In Music event, taking place on Oct. 2nd in New York City. The Billboard Rising Star Award rewards artists that have achieved a level of success and proven to have vast potential in the early stages of their career.

Lady GaGa is the undisputed break-out star of the year for many reasons, including the success of her debut album, "The Fame" (Streamline Records), which has spawned four Billboard Hot 100 hit singles like "Just Dance" and "Poker Face," both which reached No. 1 on the tally. "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" are also the Nos. 2 and 8 best-selling digital songs of all time, with 4.6 million and 4 million downloads, respectively.

GaGa recently became the third artist in the history of the Mainstream Top 40 Airplay chart to have three No. 1 singles from a debut album. "The Fame" is also the best-selling album from a debut artist for 2009, with 1,441,000 copies sold in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. In addition to writing all the tracks on her album, Lady GaGa has previously written for Britney Spears, the Pussycat Dolls, and New Kids on the Block.

"Lady GaGa is one of those rare examples of a truly unique artist with mass appeal," says Bill Werde, Editorial Director of Billboard. "She has established herself as one of today's top songwriters, and the whole world is waiting to see what her next outrageous but brilliant move or style will be. It is that ongoing anticipation, combined with her success that makes her a rising star."

The Billboard Women in Music Event celebrates the most powerful and talented women in the music business, and is held in conjunction with the much-anticipated publication of Billboard's Women In Music Power Players List – recognizing the top female music executives who are leading the industry with their artistic and business vision.

Billboard will also honor Grammy Award-winning artist and pop culture icon Beyoncé with the coveted Billboard Woman of The Year Award at the event." (Source: Billboard)
