DCNATION Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 LADY'S GAGANTIC! Brad Paisley, Glee, Maybach, NKOTBSB, Foster the People Debut Top 10 May 31, 2011 After one of the most spectacular release rollouts in the history of the record business, Interscope artist Lady Gaga’s Born This Way enters the HITS Album Sales chart at #1, with a cool 1.1 million in sales.That’s the highest total since 50 Cent moved 1.14 million of Massacre in 2005. Taylor Swift’s Speak Now sold 1.044 million in its first week last October. Counting Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter, which sold 1.005 million in June 2008, UMG has the last four million selling debuts. Almost 650k of those sales were in digital form, with 460k coming via Amazon’s precedent-shattering two-day 99 cents promotion. Arista Nashville’s Brad Paisley, with This Is Country Music, is the next highest debut, bowing at #2 with 154k, while Columbia’s Glee: The Music Vol. 6 (#4) and MMG/Warner Bros.’ Maybach Music Group Presents…(#5) are the other Top 5 debuts, sandwiching XL/Columbia’s still-potent Adele (#3), which will soar past double-platinum next week. Other Top 10 newcomers include Columbia/Jive/Legacy’s NKOTBSB (#7) and Startime/Columbia’s Foster the People (#9), alongside holdovers Capitol/EMI’s Now 38 (#6), Broken Bow’s Jason Aldean (#8, +17%) and Glassnote’s Mumford & Sons (#10), closing in on 1.5 million. That gives Steve Barnett’s Team Columbia four of the Top 10. The rest of the new chart entries include 19 Recordings’ American Idol winner Scotty McCreery (#11), Nomota’s Wal-Mart exclusive Journey (#16), 19 Recordings’ Lauren Alaina (#39) and Def Jam/IDJ’s Jadakiss (#41), while RCA Nashville’s Sara Evans is a re-entry (#45). Big Machine’s Rascal Flatts (#45-25, +54%) is the week’s biggest double-digit gainer, followed by Lady Gaga’s Fame (#33-15, +45%), Atlantic’s Zac Brown Band (#31-22, +26%), Def Jam/IDJ’s Rihanna (#36-32, +12%) and Universal Republic Nashville’s The Band Perry (#41-38, +10%).

Twistedvelvet Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'll be the first to say it. Who gives a *elephants trumpet noise* The fact that it names 50 cent, Taylor Swift and Lil Wayne as others who have achieved this, shows it really means nothing in the context of history. Next....

No. And I don't think Beyonce is as cheap as gaga, selling her album at 99 cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedvelvet Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Well, first week sales weren't huge until the turn of the century. There is always an excuse for everything with her. Just as long as it favours gaga, we can twist theory and fact and make up achievements under a false pretence. All the more reason to say this aint that big of a deal then. Especially if your gonna offer your album for the price of single. Daym album should have sold 10 million by now at that price if she was really the it thing.

No, I'm not siding with Gaga by any means. I understand that she sonly old that much because it was soo cheap. I was just stating that starting in perhaps late '98 first weeks sales began to be the tail wagging the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
