Bruno Mars Enjoys US Sales Rise / J.Cole Continues Winning Streak

Published: Friday 2nd Aug 2013 by David

It seems US music lovers just can’t get enough of Bruno Mars and ‘Crooked Smile‘ performer J.Cole.

Not sure what we mean?

Chart check below!!


In continuing his consistent sales run in the market, Cole watches his new LP ‘Born Sinner’ pull in 20, 591 units in the last week, scoring him this week’s #11 spot, almost two months after its June 10th release.

Reaping the rewards for the album’s long running promotional efforts, the project now stands no more than 400,000 units away from going Platinum- already dwarfing digits nabbed by his 2011 debut, ‘Cole World: The Sideline Story‘.

Meanwhile, Bruno Mars‘ ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ enjoys a 13% sales rise in the last week, shifting 20,541. Epic, considering the album dropped on December 6th 2012.

Joining Pink, Justin Timberlake and Rihanna in releasing one of the highest selling albums of the year, the project now sold a total of 1,548,841 units in the US while its worldwide sales hold court at the 3,930,000 mark.

      Payola.

      Too bad her new album won’t sell half of that.

      • JOHNVIDAL August 2, 2013

        Hmm who else sells more than half of what their singles sell?????????????
        Mariah keeps winning, which is incredible for a person in her 24th year of career (and 24 years of real career as a top artist, not just a part of it cos the first years were the artist trying to establish herself, like Beyonce, Rihanna and more, these are 24 years as a megastar).

    That’s great for J. Cole! Lana Del Rey sold almost 8k this week in the U.S. since its early release in 2012.

  7. JOHNVIDAL August 2, 2013

    Congrats to Bruno! Both his USA sales and worldwide sales are really great. His sales are not that far from Justin Timberlake´s and he didn´t have that crazy hype in the first week of release to help him, he only sold less than 200,000 first week in the USA. So really big congrats.

    Congrats to Bruno!! He is the best male artist to come out in a long time. Sam, why didn’t you mention Stars Dance debuted at #1 with 97,000 copies sold, her first #1 album and highest opening numbers?

    • Mark111 August 2, 2013

      Cause no one gives a s***. (7K with a top ten single and a t*** market? Really? Flop imo.

    Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
