xu1993 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm confused. Does the sales week start on Tuesday on Monday and if it starts on Monday why do cds come out on Tuesday? The Amazon sale was Monday and I heard some places were selling it Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidfresh832 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Sounds like the sales are probably what they were looking at getting. And she could probably get 3-4 more top 10 or number 1 singles from the album as well if she plays it right. Marry the night, Edge of glory I could easily see getting to number 1.

bu. Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Payola I kid. But big opening sales...doesn't that potentially put her up for a big drop the following week ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedElegance™ Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Payola I kid. But big opening sales...doesn't that potentially put her up for a big drop the following week ? Yes, but she has a nice shot of retaining a good position because there's no real competition apart from Adele. Actually, nothing really poses a threat until Lil' Wayne and Beyoncé release their albums in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrietta. Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 No shade but is Lil Wayne still considered a threat? He had two albums last year and neither one went platinum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedElegance™ Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 No shade but is Lil Wayne still considered a threat? He had two albums last year and neither one went platinum. I think simply because it's a continuation of the Carter series it will do better than his last two. From memory, Rebirth came out just before he went to prison, and I Am Not a Human Being was released while he was still in there. This one has a better chance.

TwistedElegance™ Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Lady Gaga is preparing to release a Christmas album of traditional jazz standards. Lady Gaga wants to record a Christmas album of jazz standards. The 'Hair' hitmaker is planning to eschew her usual electro pop sound to make a record of traditional jazz hits for the festive period. She told the Financial Times newspaper: "I thought it would be really sweet to do a Christmas release of Gaga and the jazz standards. I really want to do it. I've spoken to my manager." Giving a possible preview, the 'Born This Way' star recently gave a rendition of jazz track 'Orange Colored Sky' when she performed in England. The 25-year-old musician has also spoken of her admiration for British singer Adele, who she is set to knock from the top of the album charts with her 'Born This Way' album this week, ending a 16-week run by the 'Someone Like You' singer. Gaga said: "I'm so excited for Adele. She's doing so well all over the world and it's wonderful to see the world embrace her. She's beaten some of my chart records but I'm happy for her. I love seeing women succeed and she's so talented." http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/lady-gaga-plans-christmas-album_1221726 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're telling me. I heard that on the radio but I didn't believe it because of how strong Adele's been performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way she's set to knock Adele off the 14 week top spot I think they do mean for this week, but the report I heard stated she was outselling the rest of the Top 30 combined. Sounded like a stretch, but good for her if it's true. Don't cry for Adele, she's had an amazing run. And her year isn't over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlaSh-E Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That's crazy, So what if you want to give something away for free just to get new customers, or what if you are overstocked because a cd is flopping? it's about fair sales tho... i would hate it if other stores were selling the same items under price so thank god for this rule over here... So many businesses would go bankrupt if it wasn't there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
