Album Sales Beyonce Set For Fierce Debut: On Pace 500-550k

robby84 · 11-19-2008, 06:03 PM

Her New Double-CD Will Bow at #1 with Between 500-550k, Cook, Nickelback, Swift Battle for #2

November 19, 2008

A double dose of Beyonce and her alter ego will grab the top spot on the HITS Album Sales chart next week, as her two-CD Music World/Columbia set, I Am… Sasha Fierce, will debut at #1 with 500-550k in sales, according to those hardy retailers who still have their doors open.

With a stunning appearance on Saturday Night Live last weekend, two hit singles in “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” and a starring role as Etta James in the upcoming Chess Records movie, Cadillac Records (and its accompanying soundtrack), Beyonce might as well be Sasha Claus.

The real tussle will be right below that for #2, as a debuting RCA/RMG’s David Cook and Roadrunner’s Nickelback go head-to-head with this week’s chart-topper, Big Machine’s Taylor Swift, in her second week. All look to be in the 300k range, mas o menos.

Syco/Columbia’s Il Divo, Simon Cowell’s tenor heartthrobs, are in the 100-125k range.

Other Top 50 newcomers will include Epic’s masked metal marauders Mudvayne, with 40-50k, and Asylum rapper Slim at 30-40k.

Sunday will mark the release of Guns N’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy, while IDJ beats the Tuesday rush with three biggies in Kanye West, The Killers and Ludacris in stores on the Monday before Black Friday.

The market was up 27% vs. last week, down 24% vs. the same week last year and still down 13% year to date.

Now, excuse us while we get in line for our $125 Sony Bravia HDTV.

i hope Ludacris debuts at Number 1 next week

The Real K.I.N.G. · 11-19-2008, 06:42 PM

Beyonce got a loyal fanbase she did the same numbers with B-Day. I didn't expect it this time around since the album been leaked since the first of the Month plus the slow start to Single Ladies on the charts.

Maully Da Don · 11-19-2008, 06:56 PM

damn..........

i know its bey...but i can honestly say i didnt expect that...

NEWSKULL · 11-20-2008, 10:39 AM

I think double albums count double too ain't it?.... I think she sold 250k but since it's a double album that's 500k... I might be wrong but I recall that outkast album being counted the same way

MostWanted00 · 11-20-2008, 11:02 AM

i dont know whos buyin that shit, but shes wack

cmrcr12 · 11-20-2008, 11:23 AM

tru^^^...and its a double album.

cmrcr12 · 11-20-2008, 11:24 AM

seriously if luda isnt #1 next week...then you dont liek hip hop.

Tha Unit On Top · 11-20-2008, 12:20 PM

Figured that much, around 500k, B is big. Yeah its a double album but I dont think they count that as two anymore. Yeah Outkast did it and it was doubled, but I thought they stopped that shit, who knows. But next week you got GNR, who havent dropped an album in like how many years? Wait, they dropped them two albums in 91, dam, I wonder if they still have loyal fans all them years later? But them, Kanye, and Luda all drop, dam, and with it being the biggest shopping week and shit, I could see alot of albums sold.

MrF50 · 11-20-2008, 01:04 PM

its really a recession when B only moving 500K ..........

No. That just means people like R&B MORE than Hip Hop.

And wow @ those numbers..her singles suck.

The Real K.I.N.G. · 11-20-2008, 08:10 PM

They don't count double albums as two anymore that's why T.I. didn't release T.I. vs. T.I.P. as a double album.

Ieshia86 · 11-20-2008, 10:58 PM

She is doing some good numbers i love that diva sing
