Album Sales ONE-DAY SALES: Chrisette Michele, Ciara Top Debuts

robby84 · 05-06-2009, 04:47 PM

Chrisette Michele and Ciara Debuts, Will Vie with Hanna Montana for Top Spot

May 6, 2009

Three very different divas hold the key to next week’s HITS Album Sales chart race.

A pair of debuts from LaFace/JLG’s Ciara and Def Jam/IDJ’s Chrisette Michele will be next week’s top chart newcomers, each looking to score in the 70-80k range.

Ciara’s Fantasy Ride, her third album, will benefit from her Saturday Night Live performance this weekend, while Chrisette’s Epiphany, the follow-up to her 2007 debut I Am, should see action after being priced at $2.99 all week at Amazon.

The race for #1 could come down to a three-way race between those two and Disney’s Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack, which could emerge as a dark horse with increased Mother’s Day store traffic from dad and the kids.

Other promising debuts include Ferret’s Devil Wears Prada, a Dayton, OH, anti-materialist Christian metal-core outfit (25-30k) and Virgin’s Ben Harper and the Relentless7 (20-25k), followed by Hickory American Idol alum Elliott Yamin, Columbia Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts and UMe’s artist formerly kinown as Cat Stevens, Yusuf, all at 15-20k. E1’s Hatebreed round out the newcomers, with a total in the 12-15k range.

Next week, Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown hits the street on Friday, May 15, followed by Eminem’s Relapse on May 19, if that date isn't moved up.

The market was basically flat vs. last week, down 18% from last year, and now down 13% to date.

Damn, 3 dollars, nice american price :).... we got it for 20$, approximately.

_widen · 05-06-2009, 04:52 PM

wow.. Ciara 70-80k?

Her last album sold over 300k the first week :/

Well, she hasn't really had a buzz for her new album.. I didn't even know it was released.

*50*CENT*WIFE* · 05-06-2009, 05:25 PM

Chrisette doing better this go round but ciara damn her # are bad thats a flop right there...

ns_diplomat · 05-06-2009, 05:49 PM

lmao @ everybody flopping

Precinct Phantom · 05-06-2009, 06:00 PM

Ciara won't make much cash from that lol
Pity
she's fit

Wshh_Mastermind · 05-06-2009, 06:09 PM

god damn she flopped like a motherfucker, (ciara), how the fuck?,

The Real K.I.N.G. · 05-06-2009, 06:11 PM

I had a feeling that Justin Timberlake song wasn't gone be enough to push her this time... That Go Girl song was weak and didn't even make the album, her second single with Jeezy wasn't all that and didn't do shit on the charts but her third single with JT did and I just had a feeling it wasn't gone help her sell. When she came out with Promise back in 06 that was the shit. Especially the video.

robby84 · 05-06-2009, 07:02 PM

^yo i'm still shocked, i thought she would atleast over 100k

Mischa9000 · 05-06-2009, 07:59 PM

I slept on Chrisette's first cd but not "Epiphany". I brought it on Tuesday and it is really dope. I love every song on this diva's cd. I'm buying her first cd this week. I'm glad real R&B is coming back. She deserves to come out on top.

Me too

If keri hilson sell more than her, they will say keri end her career.

I can see Sandra Rose getting ready to write her blog on this.

The Real K.I.N.G. · 05-07-2009, 12:59 AM

Well you can't blame people for not buying her album if her singles ain't connecting like they usually do. People prolly didn't even know baby girl was dropping I know I forgot about it... But shit it's not like I would've bought it anyway I just saying. If Justin Timberlake wasn't on that new song she got she wouldn't even got a hit.

Raskae · 05-07-2009, 01:09 AM

Ciara is so wack, she released her shit 7 months ago in Australia, i forgot that wack shit with lil Jon, that shit was trash

everything she put out was trash.

How can anybody like her? She has a voice but songs and music is straight wack, beats are so 2002

xDizzeTheKingx · 05-07-2009, 01:11 AM

wow ciara did bad like a motherfucker...I knew it she was gone flop after "Go Girl" flopped...

detroit48221 · 05-07-2009, 01:58 AM

I went to a cd signing of Chrisette Michele today in Los Angeles. She did mini concert which no one expected. The girl is fierce and was very pleasant while signing her cd. The cd is XCELLENT! No bullshit! I hope she pulls the no.1 spot because she truly deserves it.

A.T.I. · 05-07-2009, 02:05 AM

where is that guy who kept pleading with us that Ciara was on par with the top 5 female R&B artists? lol

ciara fell off, she need to get back with jazzy pha or something.

black ice 07 · 05-07-2009, 10:04 PM

If the Justin song would have been her first look shit may have been different, but she went through too many so so songs as singles. High Price, Go Girl, Never Ever it took four times to get a banger.

Damn son, what the fuck is High Price? I ain't ever heard that shit on the radio/TV video stations. Ciara flopped hard this time, meh, I like Keri, Beyonce, Keyshia, etc. better than her talentwise anyway.
