Thursday Billboard Update - 1/24/08

Damn, these record sales look stagnant as fuck! Alicia Keys' fine ass is still #1 as she brings in 14% less than she did last week lol (61,000). See, this is why one of these struggling ass record labels needs me. Instead of trying to force my artist's project into an already over crowded December Tuesday I'd just hold it until January because the field had been wide ass open for the past 3 weeks! I mean record sales are down regardless, but a little marketing and strategy just might help some artists out. Anyway, we have 2 new entries onto the charts and the top 10 as Raheem DeVaughn's Love Behind The Melody debuts at #5 selling 44,900 in its first week and John Legend's Target exclusive Show Me Live debuts at #7 selling 32,800.

On Hot #1-3 and 5 all remain the same (again), Chris Brown loses ground to...Chris Brown, and Rihanna and Sara Bareilles both jump back into the top 10. Speaking of the top 10, I'm shocked that Snoopy's Sensual Seduction (12-11) didn't break through this week like I predicted but I got money on him being there next week.

The Billboard 200 1-10

1. Alicia Keys - As I Am
2. Various Artists - Juno sdtk
3. Mary J. Blige - Growing Pains

9. Chris Brown - Exclusive
10. Miley Cyrus - Hannah Montana 2 sdtk

  • I guess Amy Winehouse's cracky ways are helping her sale records because as most of us are forgetting more and more why we like her by the minute her album Back To Black is sitting at #36 selling 14,200 this week.
  • I don't know what fueled this, but DJ Skribble's (remember him?? lol) Total Dance 2008 is this week's great sales gainer jumping 33 spots 102-69.
  • The Spice Girls Greatest Hits debuts at #93! Hmm maybe that should be a sign if they are really thinking about a reunion lol.
