Hey That Grape Juice I know this is long. Yes I work so no comment on how I don’t have anything to do. Did it in my spare time. Sam, Trent and the rest of you should stop talking about how Rihanna is not selling. She is doing quite fine; many artists would love to have her sales. I am not a stan. Others who say Alicia’s album flopped think again it is hard selling music today. While she sold the same amount in her first month with her last album she is still pass the 2.5 million mark so shut up. I am a fan of Gaga but you may think different after reading my article but I am a fan. Please read the entire article I think you will find it interesting. If you guys find it interesting tell me if you don’t tell me. I really appreciate it. If the majority is no I will not do a follow up and bore u guys.
I think 2010 has been average years so in music, just look at the top selling albums so far. With 4 months gone it is a country album again (in 2009 it was Taylor Swift) that is at the top while several top 2009 albums are still on the list. Lady Antebellum is ahead of Sade who is the nearest competitor by 798,000 albums and the country group is still selling 50,000 albums weekly. Hence it will be hard for anyone to pass them. In my opinion no one will. Country music sells big in America and with Taylor Swift about to put out album #3 in October you know she will sell well. Justin Beiber is also selling well and will pass Sade by June based on sales predictions. While he is 231,000 albums behind Sade he is selling 30,000 albums more than her a week and will eventually pass her. His other album is also selling well.
I am amazed that so many R&B and hip hop albums that were released in the last few months (Robin Thicke, Melanie Fiona, Amerie etc) and have not sold well. The list below is about the U,S. with the latter about the worldwide charts. However in the United Kingdom it is Lady Gaga that has the best selling album of 2010 with over 560,000 albums sold so far. No hating but what is so special about Gaga? I know she can sing and dance but so do a lot of people. Anyways she is also doing well in the U.S. Only Sade, Usher and Lil Wayne made the top ten as urban artists. However Lil Wayne will drop from the list because several other albums (pop, country and alternative) are close and are selling better than his. Therefore I made another list to show our urban artists. There are other artists such as Nickelback, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert and others who are outselling our artists each week but I did not include them.
Based on the list below I can draw the following conclusions: Beyoncé should reach 3 million by year end. Rihanna will reach 1 mil by June, Why is Jason Derulo selling so poorly? B.O.B had a big hit but only sold 84,000 albums in his debut, he should have at least sold 100,000 his album is good. Toni Braxton is going to debut with only 45,000. Why? Anyways it is a list of the top selling albums of 2010 so far from January 10, 2010 (the beginning of the Neilson Soundscan year) to May 2, 2010. The total number of albums sold in the U.S. since its release is written in bracket.

Now to the World Charts
April has come and gone and after 4 months Gaga is killing the Worldwide Charts. She is leading Justin Beiber who is at number 2 by 888,000 albums plus she is consistently selling 100,000 albums a week. The fact that she is not finish releasing singles (Alejandro) and on tour means she will continue to sell. Gaga’s album is 1.013 million away from the 10 million mark. I did not count her eight songs EP which is seen as her second album which has sold over 1 million. Most people add the EP in her sales and say she has sold 10 million but call it whatever. No one is going to catch her unless another Susan Boyle appears. The only competition she has now is Justin Beiber. I am telling you. No hating but again what is so special about Gaga? Isn’t she a regular pop star? Talking about Justin Beiber, he is also quickly approaching the top spot since the sales of his albums are counted as 1. This is impressive; before the second part of his debut was released (5 weeks ago) he had sold 546,000 albums since 2010. However since the second part of the album was released it has sold a combined 1.284 million in 5 weeks to total 2.005 million for the year. Talk about a young superstar. Looking at the list of artists that are going to drop albums this year only Christina Aguilera looks like a main threat since she is a worldwide seller, the others will mostly impact the U.S chart not the global charts. Below are the totals for 2010 and an analysis with their grand total in bracket.

Back to the article JLo looks nice as usual hope to hear some new music soon
Thanks Sasha for always bringin the sales news. Keep up the good work.
she is just gorgeous <33
thank u Rob.
she looks good buh her Cassie look alike seriously Cassie is the upgrade version tho =)
CASSIE PLS WITH THAT 12 YEAR OLD BODY OF HERS LOL I THINK CASSIE PRETTY CUTE THAT ABOUT IT I WOULDNT BE LIKE DAMN PERFECTION. I DO AGREE WITH SASHA ON THE MUSIC SALES. I AM TAKING A MUSIC INDUSTRY CLASS AND IT WAS RELEASED THIS MONTH THAT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY LOST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THIS YEAR ALTHO DIGITAL MUSIC SALES WERE UP THEY WERE ONLY A FRACTION COMPARED TO THE MONEY LOST AND IT WAS JAPAN AND THE USA THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR 80% OF THE LOSS’ NUMBER ONE CONTRIBUTOR REALLY IS FILE SHARING. APPLE DOMINATES THE DIGITAL SALES OF MUSIC AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY REALLY DOES HAVE APPLE TO THANK FOR GENERATING 1BILLION DOLLARS WHICH COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN DOWNLOADED ILLEGALLY. WILL CD SALES EVER RETRUN TO THE STATE IT ONCE WAS I DONT THINK THATS POSSIBLE ANYMORE NOW ITS ALL ABOUT USING SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES TO PROMOTE AND CONCERTS.
@RICANSTAR
it’s true people are not buying music anymore. I feel really dissapointed about Toni Braxton though I though she maybe would debut in the top 10. R&B is doing too well neither is hip hop. Country music is conquering. When u look at worldwide sale no r&b artists is really there to match the dance pop phenom except sade and alicia. i consider rihanna more of a pop artist but least she is there cuz we really dont have a lot of urban artists slling
I’ll give you a reason for this, it’s because everyone is Image Image Image and they want to please the majority. The whole craze now and for quite some time is dance, electronic, techo-y type stuff. The genre lines are fudged and everything is becoming generic. It also seems anyone and everyone can pop up in the limelight, whilst not even being quater decent. With this they’ll get a number one and not be able to produce anything of quality, either in the studio or live, but for some reason they will stay relevant for however long they can and will help degrade music as it is. People want to look nice rather than perform well, and when you’re in the music business, where people sing that is what you do. If you want to dress up pretty you best get your ass to some modelling agency and make your money there. And before anyone says anything bout Rihanna, I didn’t mention her name so I am not talking about her. And Sam I know she can’t sing that well but I think you hate her more because you don’t like the strong accent, end of.
The oldies keep poppin up left right and centre, people want what they used to be and they ain’t what they used to be. Just look at Mariah, Whitney and Toni. No hate but Mariah’s flat lip synched performances are boring and her huge assets make her look odd shaped, but she’s still beautiful, Whitney can’t cope as she once could, and as good as Toni is being, whether you like it or not she is not what she used to be. Age? Lifestyle? Whatever, s*** happens.
These country singers stay true to their roots, sing and write about stuff that is personal and important (maybe sometimes don’t hold me).
S***** pop like Bieber, yeah I hate him, appeals to a certain audience meaning girls (why i dont no he’s neither good looking nor into puberty), but let’s not change subject here. He might have a good voice but I can’t hear it and his arrogance pisses me off so much…
Nas said Hip-Hop is dead, but I think he spoke too late. Rapper’s, MCs and those guys talk about the same stuff, drugs s** girls guns and more b*******. Sometimes I think they purposely do s*** to stay “cool” and true to their genre, and how they go to prison for s*** with guns and stuff. I don’t know what the issues are with T.I. and Lil’ Wayne, but all I know is they will come out with music based on those experience, good. But did they purposely try to make any of those types of events happen so they can taklk about them? You be the judge.
R&B, i feel is dead, and has been from the early 2000s. Lady Gaga – i know a lot of poeple don’t like her because she copies grace jones or she fake and all that bs but i love her. I feel she has brought something new to the industry, she is like a breath of fresh air. This generation hasn’t experienced anything like her, I know i don’t know anything about Jones, or care much for Madonna and co. and I’m 18. Maybe I should know, but i dont. all i know is Grace jnoes is a n** bag and if i met her in a dark alleyway i’d be shittin myself.
After the long rant it is as simple as this: Noone wants to step up their games and they want to blend in with everyone else. When they get bored, like their audience they think they can click their fingers, go back to their roots and bring something true, but by that time noone cares. That’s it. Oh and death to Auto-tune.
About J-lo i think she looks really good, nowhere near 40. I’ve seen the new movie and while its not brilliant i did get some good laughs, compared to the utter s*** that was Kick-Ass – it’s not even funny.
JLO IS LOOKING GOOD AND SHES ON EVERY OTHER MAGAZINE COVER AT THE STORE THE OTHER DAY !!!!!
JLo looks great!
LOVE HER !!! im still fan
WONDERFUL WOMAN !!!!!!!!
JLO looks amazing!
S c o t t says, “Time and tide wait for no man.” I think ” F a t e and l o v e wait for no one!” So I recently joined a nice platform
***** B l a c k w h i t e R o m a n c e.c o m ***** to find my true LOVE….Im lucky!! It is destined that you can also meet your love…..GO and have a try…..
Those are nice photos and all, but I wonder if one day they will stop using photoshop after the photo shoots.. Honestly! they could turn anybody into a beauty. What is the photoshoot for? Showing JLo or showing how the photo can be nice.
Let’s get back to natural, great photos. show the real person. JLo is nice enough to get great shots..
Anyway.
I am pretty confident Sade’s Soldier of Love is the top selling album in the world so far this year. The band typically sells as much world wide as they do in the US so if it the album has moved 1.1 million so far in the US rest assured that worldwide they have moved that much or more.
This growth in sales of shares are the women in relation to material issued as Replica Handbags Cheap, with more than one, in coordination with the teams as fashion accessories and the selection of different sizes and styles for every occasion ..
Therefore, you should not think twice before buying the Louis Vuitton evening purses Louis Vuitton handbags. In addition, you can get many of these bags in different colors, styles, textures and patterns.
Quick postage thanks! Happy:)
