Don't get too excited.

The bitch only sold 27k. At this rate, her album will fall off the Billboard 200 next month.

Wow, what on earth do you have against Joss Stone? ...no need for name calling.

LOL! I love Joss Stone. I don't have anything against her. I was just being stupid.

Glad Melanie Fiona made a decent debut based on iTunes downloads. Can't wait to see what she does when the physical copy is out.

I can't believe Kelly Clarkson's album sales are so low.

There is a reason why Kelly Clarkson's album sales are low. Her album is crap. Also, releasing subpar singles such as "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "I Do Not Hook Up" don't help matters. It's too bad "Already Gone" won't do anything to salvage album sales.

MLWSWY was one of the biggest songs of the year. That's fine that you think her album is crap...when exactly did that not equal sales?

Really????????? With the movie coming out this past weekend, it was kinda obvious that he would debut at #1.

Holy **** Taylor Swift is never going to fall out of the top 10. Like her or not, the success of this album is crazy considering the industry overall.

She actually has one of the better selling albums of the year. Plus when you add in all the sales from her singles at itunes, she is doing just fine and making plenty of money for herself & her record label. I don't see how you could view the album as anything but a sucess at this point, and I'm not really even a big KC fan. Album sells suck all over, so you have to look past that one number

I know, Damn! I didn't even know she was at the 4 Million mark already!

Okay, so Carrie Underwood is going up against that damn NOW collection and the Glee cast.

Any estimates on how many she'll sell this week?

Creed released a new album???....WTF???? lol

It's a re-issue with new material on it, so that accounts for the high sales surge.

Some interesting news guys:

BILLBOARD WILL COUNT CATALOG IN TOP 200, LIKE HITS HAS BEEN DOING ALL ALONG
Move Will Be Made for Sales Week of Nov. 16-22

November 9, 2009

When Michael Jackson was the country’s best-selling artist after his untimely death, Billboard ignored him in its Top 200 sales chart.

When the Beatles reissues stormed retail on 9/9/09, Billboard refused to go, “Yeah, yeah, yeah,” relegating them to their Catalog chart.

Throughout, HITS’ Top 50 Album sales chart continued to reflect what was really going on sales-wise, and now the Bible will follow our lead.

Beginning with the issue dated Dec. 5 (representing the sales tracking week of 11/16-22), the Billboard 200 ranking will be based on SoundScan’s Comprehensive Albums chart, which means back catalog and reissues.

Wonder when they’ll start counting digital downloads on their singles chart. Oh, they do already?

“The events of 2009 and the continuing creativity in the repackaging of catalog titles, have led us to the conclude that the Billboard 200 would be best served presenting the true best sellers in the country, without any catalog-related rules or stipulations, to the media, pubic and our readers,” read the letter from the guys in charge.

The change will not effect the presentation of the charts or the calculations of the marketing reports in SoundScan, as the Top Current Albums, Top Comprehensive Albums and Top Catalog Albums charts remain unchanged. The move to a current/catalog hybrid chart will only affect the Billboard 200. All other current-based albums chart will follow BB’s longstanding catalog criteria.

In addition, the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart will be ranked on overall sales, with the R&B Core Store Panel no longer involved in calculations. There will also be a 15-position Folk Albums chart, to be managed by Gary Trust, which will run periodically in print and appear weekly on billboard.biz and billboard.com.

Nice to know someone’s listening over there.

Now, all of a sudden they're doing that. Michael would have ruled the Billboard charts MONTHS ago.

Well its because of him that they are changing up their rule book.

Carrie Underwood is projected to sell 300-350k this week. I thought she would sell much more considering how "Carnival Ride" opened up with its release.
