Another strong week of sales to report as the Number Ones album shifts another 5,000 units and notches it's 30th week on the Billboard 200 and Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Album Chart. The Number Ones DVD, meanwhile, continues to show it's strength as it becomes MJ's #2 seller of the week shifting over 3,000 copies last week.

With next Tuesday's release of The Essential Michael Jackson, it should be interesting to see how/if sales of Number Ones and Greatest Hits - HIStory will be affected. BTW, I'm not sure exactly how well this new hits album will perform in it's debut week since the 2 Disc Essential series albums are priced higher than your average CD. Let's wait and see.

Music Week - 24/07/05

Remaining atop the singles and albums charts, James Blunt continues his remarkable run by increasing his singles sales for the seventh week in a row, and his album sales for the 13th time in 14 weeks, writes Alan Jones

Blunt is so dominant at present that he would have easily topped both charts this week with only half the sales he actually achieved.

You're Beautiful enjoyed a 19.2% improvement to 46,443 sales to take the singles title for the second week in a row, with a 120.2% lead over Mariah Carey's We Belong Together, which rebounds to number two even though its sales are off 22.9% week-on-week at 21,086. You're Beautiful is the first number one single to increase its sales on its second week at number one since Blu Cantrell's Breathe, which sold 47,312 copies on its first week at number one in August 2003, and 49,192 copies - a 4% hike - the following week.

It's more than five years since any Warner Music single spent more than one week at number one - but Blunt's second week at the summit ends a drought that has endured since All Saints' February/March 2000 chart-topper Pure Shores.

You're Beautiful is now up to fifth on the year-to-date singles rankings, trailing Tony Christie's (Is This The Way To) Amarillo (1,075,260 sales), Crazy Frog's Axel F (492,487), McFly's All About You/You've Got A Friend (328,607) and Akon's Lonely (318,158).

Meanwhile, Blunt's Back To Bedlam album enjoys a modest 1.1% increase in sales to 110,932, putting it 143.7% ahead of nearest challenger, The Essential Michael Jackson.

Blunt's album has sold more than 100,000 copies in three of the last four weeks, and has sold 759,793 copies this year, and 764,542 in total. At the current rate of progress it will pass the million mark in mid-August. It is still somewhat adrift of Coldplay's X&Y - the year's best-seller with 1,086,768 sales to date - but sold 66,332 copies more than its rival last week.

Apparently suffering little fallout from his recent court case, the aforementioned Michael Jackson compilation, The Essential sold 45,527 copies to debut at number two - this despite the fact that Jackson's had a string of previous high selling compilations in the last decade, of which the most recent - Number Ones - has sold 1,323,236 copies in less than two years. The Essential is a career-encompassing 38 song 2CD set winding its way through from the Jackson 5's first hit I Want You Back to MJ's 2002 number two single You Rock My World.

First American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson has sold 4,911,618 copies of her first two albums in America but little more than a hundredth of that total here. Clarkson's 2003 debut album Thankful sold 2,248,019 copies in America, and reached number one - but peaked here at number 52, selling 43,387 copies. Follow-up Breakaway - a number three hit in the states with sales of 2,663,599 in 33 weeks, is showing greater promise here, and debuts at number 10 this week on sales of 17,631, following introductory single Since U Been Gone's number six success.

Like the Michael Jackson album, Kelly Clarkson's is a Sony BMG release, giving the company fully half of the Top 12 albums on the chart, and the only two new entries to the Top 20 this week.

Stephen Fretwell's new single Emily has attracted a lot of radio support - it's number 12 on the airplay chart this week - but makes a modest debut at number 42 on the singles chart. Instead, it seems to be sparking album sales.

Fretwell's Magpie album was released last November, falling short of the Top 200 and attracting modest sales of 8,976, before it finally entered the chart at number 112 last week. It now catapults to number 34, with sales up 373.5% week-on-week at 8,564. Run, the previous single from Fretwell's album, peaked at number 79 in February.

With Feel Good Inc continuing a slow and stately decline of the singles chart, Gorillaz-mania is flaring again with favourable reaction to upcoming follow-up Dare, which debuts at number three on the TV airplay chart. As a result, the Gorillaz' Demon Days album ends seven weeks of decline to rebound this week. The album - which has previously moved 1-2-6-9-11-19-26-29 - jumps to number 15, with sales of 14,737 representing a 45.5% increase week-on-week. Demon Days' nine week sales tally of 326,506 place it well ahead of their self-titled 2001 debut, which had sold 185,715 copies at the same stage.

Returning to the singles chart, there are three debuts in this week's Top 10, with Lee Ryan debuting ahead of old timer Paul Weller and newcomer Daddy Yankee.

Eight months after the 12 hit chart career of Blue drew to a close with the highly appropriate Curtain Falls, former band member Lee Ryan makes his solo chart debut at number three with Army Of Lovers. The 22 year old, whose self-titled debut solo album is due next Monday (1 August), sold 20,879 copies of Army Of Lovers last week. Blue sold 1,853,796 singles - an average of 154,483 per release - reaching a high of 292,690 duetting with Elton John on Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, and a low of 43,773 for penultimate single Bubblin'.

The first reggaeton hit - a fusion of hip-hop, salsa and dancehall sung in Spanish - Daddy Yankee's Gasolina was a number 32 hit on the US Hot 100 earlier year, and makes its UK chart debut this week at number five, with 14,287 sales. Daddy Yankee - real name Raymond Ayala - is a 26 year old Puerto Rican, and has released six albums so far, with Gasolina being taken from the latest, Barrio Fino.

Paul Weller gets back to basics on From The Floorboards Up, the introductory single from his upcoming album As Is Now, and is rewarded by a number six debut for the single on first week sales of 13,013. It's the second highest charting single of Weller's 14 year solo career, being beaten only by the number five peak of 1996's Peacock Suit.

Weller's last single, a cover of folkie Gordon Lightfoot's Early Morning Dew, peaked at number 40 - but was available only on 7-inch coloured vinyl. Weller has scored 61 Top 75 hits - 57 of them reaching the Top 40 - since his 1977 debut with Jam.

1,001 sales short of matching the sales of the number 10 single - Crazy Frog's Axel - and powered by generous sampling of the Maisonettes' 1982 number seven hit Heartache Avenue, East London's 13 strong grime crew Roll Deep register their first hit single with The Avenue, which debuts at number 11 on sales of 10,531. The Avenue's popularity helps to revive Roll Deep's first album In At The Deep End, which debuted at number 50 six weeks ago, and has climbed 134-92-73 in the last fortnight, with sales last week of 3,332 - a 64.9% increase over the previous week - taking its cumulative sales past the 20,000 mark. The band is signed to Relentless Records, home to two other highly rated artists currently in the top half of the album chart, KT Tunstall and Joss Stone.

When London was announced as the venue for the 2012 Olympics, a celebration was held at Trafalgar Square, with former M People star Heather Small stepping up to the mic to sing Proud, which had been the campaign song. Said single, now reissued, debuts this week at number 33 with sales of 2,699. Small had 10 Top 10 hits as a member of M People, but Proud's original number 16 peak in 2000 - when it sold more than 45,000 copies - remains her highest solo chart placing. Proud is also featured on The Ultimate Collection, by M People featuring Heather Small. Released in February, when it reached number 17, the album saw its sales increase by 756.5% week-on-week to 5,045 last week, and re-enters the album chart at number 55.

Despite the second wave of attempted bombings in London last Thursday causing sales to fall at the end of the week, the singles market improved by 3.1% in the week as a whole to 780,444, with physical sales increasing 1.8% to 344,098 and downloads up 4.1% at 436,346. Album sales fared better still, with the market improving 6.3% overall to 2,513,999. Artist albums added 6.6%, at 2,002,448 and compilations improved 5% to 511,551.

Compared to the same week last year, however, album sales were down 2%, while physical singles sales were down 28.2% - but once downloads are added in, combined singles sales were up 62.9%. But the majority of download sales are for tracks outside the chart, and the 860 sales which earned Mew's Apocalypso anchor position on the Top 75 this week would have given it only a modestly better 67th place a year ago.

Blunt Holds Off Mariah, Michael On U.K. Chart

Edited By Jonathan Cohen. July 25, 2005, 11:15 AM ET

By Paul Sexton, London

Singer/songwriter James Blunt holds sway on both main U.K. charts for a second week, increasing his sales again with the single "You're Beautiful" and holding steady with his debut album "Back to Bedlam," both on Atlantic. The biggest challenger to the album's sales crown was a new compilation by Michael Jackson, whose commercial appeal in Britain would appear to have outpaced his recent trials and tribulations.

"You're Beautiful" sold more than twice as many copies as its nearest singles rival, Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" (Def Jam), which rebounded 3-2 in its third week. Lee Ryan, formerly of the recently disbanded pop act Blue, debuted at No. 3 with his first solo single "Army of Lovers" (Brightside), and Daddy Yankee scored what is widely recognized to be the first reggaeton hit in the U.K. with "Gasolina" (Machete) at No. 5.

"From the Floorboards Up" (V2), the lead track from Paul Weller's upcoming studio album "As Is Now," brought an impressive revival of his singles chart fortunes by debuting at No. 6. Weller has only once peaked higher since he started making records under his own name in 1991, with the No. 5 hit "Peacock Suit" in 1996. It's his fifth top 10 during that era but, including hits with the Jam and the Style Council, his 21st since 1979, when the Jam's "Eton Rifles" became the first.

Speaking of chart veterans, "The Essential Michael Jackson" (Epic) gave the troubled entertainer not only his best news in a long time but yet another successful U.K. compilation. The two-disc set is being marketed as a definitive career retrospective, starting with his Jackson 5 catalog and ending with recent solo material.

It has been only 18 months since Jackson's "Number Ones" collection topped the British chart. Previously, a Polygram-released "Best of Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five -- The Motown Years" reached No. 5 in 1997. Among numerous other Jackson compilations, 1983's "18 Greatest Hits" was also a No. 1 success.

Kelly Clarkson's somewhat patchy U.K. chart career has taken a turn for the better in recent weeks, with the No. 5 success of the single "Breakaway" now followed by a No. 10 debut for the RCA album of the same name.

Coldplay's "X&Y" (Parlophone) is in its sixth week at No. 1 on the European Top 100 Albums chart, while Crazy Frog's "Axel F" (Mach1) tops the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles tally for a fifth week. U.K. sales alone of the novelty hit are now close to 500,000 units.

Thanks Moonw4lk3r! Excellent update! You just saved me a ton of time dude. :D

You even did all the HTML coding! You outdid yourself. Very much appreciated man. :kickass:

BTW, Number Ones managed another week on the Billboard 200 at #198. The album has now sold 940,138 units in the USA.

Did anyone else notice we finally have an official sales figure for Number Ones in the UK? 1,323,236 copies in less than two years according to Music Week. The album is definitely eligible for a 5X platinum certification since it's virtually guaranteed at least 1,500,000 copies were shipped to UK retail.

Well, the figures are in and The Essential debuted at #128 with over 8,000 units sold. Looks like this one will be a marathon runner if anything. 100k by years end?

USA

Other noteworthy debuts included Christian rockers Thousand Foot Krutch's Art of Breakingat 67, D.H.T.'s Listen to Your Heart at 78 and the Best of Guy Penrod at 92. The Essential Michael Jackson, rush-released in the wake of the pop star's court victory, didn't prove to be an essential buy, debuting down at 128, but it was slightly more popular than The Very Best of Emmylou Harris, which entered the charts at 133.

Thanks Amit, you are sooo good about getting the sales info, Roger Friedman is such a pathetic digusting LIAR! That :censored: claimed "Essential" had only sold 200 copies. To put this in perspective, after Luther Vandross's death his "Essential" picked up in sales but still even though it had been out for nearly two years had only sold 6,000 copies two thousand fewer than just released Michael's. These types of compilations are as you say Amit-marathon sellers.

Essentials chart-performance:
Netherlands: 32
Italy: 44
Switzerland: 29
Canada: 24 (Number Ones peaked at 26)

It`s to early to call Essentials a failure. The next weeks will be very interesting especialy in markets such as USA, Germany, France, Canada and Japan. I think i the long run it will do well.

Good news to report from Ireland as The Essential moves up 4-2. Since it's very rare for a release to actually increase in sales during its second week, this is indeed a nice coup for MJ - especially considering it looks like he's oblivious to this release.

Hey hope - The following certification information is available on the first page of this thread, however, I've copied and pasted it for ya...

NUMBER ONES WORLDWIDE CERTIFICATIONS

As of May 13, 2004, Number Ones shifted 4.7 million copies worldwide. Current worldwide sales: 6 million units.

Eligible for a Platinum certification in the USA (1,000,000 units) since the album has scanned approximately 945,000 units; Number Ones (DVD) certified Platinum (100,000 units) yet eligible for a Triple Platinum certification (300,000 units) since the DVD has scanned over 330,000 units.

Certified Platinum in Europe yet eligible for at least a Double Platinum certification (2,000,000 units) since the album has shipped approximately 1.5 million units in the UK alone.

Certified Quadruple Platinum in the UK (1,200,000 units) yet eligible for a 5X Platinum certification (1,500,000 units) since the album has shipped that amount.

Hello Everyone!

'The Essential Michael Jackson' debuts at #23 on the Top 100 Albums Chart in Australia, and is this week's highest new entry!

[I think that this is a fantastic result considering there has been absolutely no promotion whatsoever here in Australia.]

Note: 'The Essential Michael Jackson' is not eligible to chart on the Top 40 Urban Albums Chart.

Still steady in the UK as The Essential remains the #1 R&B album of the week while it drops 2-6 on the main album chart. Meanwhile, last week's UK figures for Number Ones show the album climbed 103-92. Meanwhile, Live In Bucharest - The Dangerous Tour makes an impressive debut at #2 on the Top Music DVDs and Video chart.

The Essential MJ sold in the region of 20,000+ copies in its 2nd week in the UK and dropped to #6 in the charts. This is info from TOTP from 31/7 where they felt the need to mention its poor US debut (in comparison to strong UK sales), and then went on to show the 1972 Rockin' Robin TOTP performance.

Well, ain't this funny. Not only did sales of The Essential increase during its second week in countries such as Switzerland, Ireland, and the Netherlands, but they also increased in the USA.

That's right. With sales of 11,231 units last week, the album moves up 128-96*, a healthy 32 positions on this week's Billboard 200.

Also, for those that don't know, The Essential debuted at #11 in Greece and #1 on France's Compilation Album Chart.

Still waiting on Japan, Germany, New Zealand, Austria and whichever other countries you guys have information for.

Re: Brazil - When Number Ones was charting on this website (http://www.hot100brasil.com/chtalbums.html), they listed the album as having been certified gold. Can someone else confirm?

Yes,
i remember that , but Joao (from Ukmix forum) sad that website isn't an official source for brasilian Charts and the certifications too are not official.

the only reliable source for Brasilian certifications is the apbd website.


[quote]Re: Japan - For foreign artists, the certification level is different and platinum = 200,000

Thanks , i didn't know it.



searched yesterday in the same page and The Essential appeared at #23. But right now it has disappeared! O_o I can tell you it's true, I see with my own eyes that Essential was on #23. I remember this because it was the same position that Australia.

Perhaps it was a mistake of them and they put the Australian Chart and later they edited it?

Thanks!!

This is great. There are now seven countries where The Essential reached a new chart peak during it's second week. We can now add Spain (#25) and Belgium (#8 in Flanders and #4 in Wallony) to the list. Meanwhile, in Canada, the album reaches a new peak of #4 on the R&B Album Chart, therefore, you could say eight countries (but on a technicality.)

BTW, Canadians might be interested in knowing that The Essential has been the #18 album in Toronto for the second week in a row. The album even sold more than Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill Acoustic in Toronto last week.

Hello
Everybody...

I am from Brazil and this is my first post. I have to say something to you: Here in Brazil since 2001 international CD's certifications are:

50,000 copies sold Gold
125,000 copies sold Platinum
250,000 copies sold Double Platinum
375,000 copies sold Triple Platinum
500,000 copies sold Diamond

So "NUMBER #1's" was PLATINUM. Michael Jackson is not very famous here lately. People don't like good things. They are most insade Hip Hop or Trash...
But it was a good selling. There are so many ilegal copies of his albums. This is the bigger problem in my country!

P.S. Sorry my bad english. I am just 17 years old and don't know how to speak too well. I am still learning to speak...

Surprisingly, France's The Essential sales don't count toward the Eurochart. That might explain why the album is not in the Top 10 of the Eurochart? As we all know, the album was #1 on the France Compilation Album Chart since it's not eligible for France's main album chart (since it's a greatest hits collection.)

Portugal #27 debut and Denmark's #52 debut didn't count towards this week's Eurochart position. They will count towards next week's position.

Still no chart positions from Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

09 THE BLACK EYED PEAS Monkey Business : 5.823
10 GORILLAZ Demon Days : 5.807
...

It is very possible that Michael is at #1, if The Essential has sold 100,000 copies in 2 weeks! its has been certified gold so it must be true.

Wow, Michael in the Number One! I can't believe it! :sarmoti

In Denmark The Essentials falls to 64.............. due to lack of promotion and the fact that only few stores have the album..... I can`t belive this :banghead . Maybe it will be better!!

The Essentials

United world chart: 21 (down from 19).

Remember that Essentials still hasn`t been released in big markets such as Germany, Japan, Brazil, Norway, Sweden and others as well.

Do we know about Number Ones in the US for the last two weeks. It could be interresting to see how much sales are effected by The Essential MJ.

Thanks pierpento for the Norway and Taiwan debut.

rikta - Thanks for the France info. Does the #1 position apply to the overall Comprehensive album chart as well or just the Compilation Album Chart?

jesh - Thanks for the Netherlands and Switzerland update. Any word on how the 'Live In Bucharest' fared on the Music DVD chart in the Netherlands this week?

Also, for those interested, 'The Essential' was technically the UK's #1 selling R&B album last week, however, according to the official R&B album chart, it came in at #2. I guess the UK R&B album chart is compiled the same way the USA R&B album chart is where they measure sales at retail outlets that are primarily urban.

One more thing...'The Essential' was Europe's #2 R&B album last week and the world's #5 R&B album last week.

Countries we're still waiting on: Japan (2nd largest record buying market), Germany (4th largest record buying market), Brazil, Sweden, Austria, New Zealand, and Czech Republic. If there are any other countries you find chart positions for, feel free to add.

THANKS SO MUCH PIERPENTO AND JESH.

Great news in Switzerland! We have a new peak of #6! :D

A few more tidbits:

#2 UK R&B album (third consecutive week)
#2 UK Music DVD (fourth consecutive week)
#2 Eurochart R&B album (third consecuitve week)
#4 World R&B album (new peak!)

pierpento - I'm confused as to how you'd like to track South Korea's sales since they don't issue a weekly chart. What do you think?

hope - I'm pretty sure the first week USA sales figure for I posted for The Essential is correct. I usually post the information as soon as I get it. If you have a link to show otherwise, please feel free. :flowers:

CuzThisIsThriller - The music video chart that's being tracked in this thread is the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart (as opposed to the Top Music Videos Chart which you linked.) The reason why is because it posts the entire Top 20 and not just the Top 10.

Countries we're still waiting on: Japan, Germany, Brazil, Sweden, Austria, and New Zealand.

SoundScan Information and commentary courtesy of JRKing. Thank you.

Sales For The Week Ending August 21st, 2005. Billboard Issue Date: September 3rd, 2005.

*Note: This tally does not include sales for The Ultimate Collection (4 CD/1 DVD), single sales, certain music DVD titles (eg. The One, Dangerous: The Short Films, etc.), material recorded with The Jacksons, and Motown era solo and Jackson 5 albums. Weekly sales information for those titles is not available at this time.

Rank, Title, Sales This Week, Sales Last Week, +/- percentage

Michael Jackson - 21,010 units (Estimate)

Since SoundScan figures for Live In Bucharest aren't available, we can only estimate how much it sold based on the chart ranking of the Number Ones DVD on the BB Comprehensive Music Videos Chart.

Excluding Live In Bucharest, the Top 13 sold 17,010 units (down from 17,309 units sold the week before.) However, if you include Live In Bucharest's sales estimate of 4,000 units, that means MJ sold roughly 21,010 units last week.

Notes: The Essential drops back to roughly 6,000 units this week, while Number Ones sees a 6% gain. Thriller looks to be the studio set most affected by The Essential (all the hits are on there, leaving just 2 tracks not); but, Bad's also are represented (and then some).

1. The Essential (2 CD): 5,974 (6,145) (-3%) (Drops 170-172 on the Billboard 200)
2. Live In Bucharest - The Dangerous Tour (Video): (Sales Estimate: 3,500-4,000) (Moves 11-9 on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart)
3. Number Ones: 4,105 (3,873) (+6%)
4. Number Ones (Video): 2,799 (2,946) (-5%) (Moves 18-15 on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart)
5. Thriller: 1,604 (1,604) (-)
6. Greatest Hits: HIStory Vol. 1: 746 (802) (-7%)
7. Off the Wall: 474 (521) (-9%)
8. Greatest Hits: HIStory (Video): 339 (403) (-16%)
9. Bad: 280 (272) (+3%)
10. HIStory on Film - Vol. 2 (Video): 255 (300) (-15%)
11. Dangerous: 179 (184) (-3%)
12. Invincible: 149 (128) (+16%)
13. HIStory (2 CD): 76 (105) (-28%)
14. Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory In The Mix: 30 (26) (+15%)

Madonna

Notes: Many an album post gains this week. Nice to see Immaculate continue its upward movement, and GHV2 topping 500 units again. Evita aired on at least one WB station over the weekdn, so maybe that halped a little in its gain.

1. The Immaculate Collection: 2,822 (+10%)
2. GHV2: 517 (+18%)
3. Like a Virgin: 243 (+17%)
4. Ray of Light: 226 (-2%)

18. Drowned World Tour 2001: 68 (+6%)
19. Erotica: 66 (-14%)

1. The Very Best of Cher (2 CD): 1,384 (-6%)
2. The Very Best of Cher (Video): 592 (+1%)

12. Living Proof: 29 (+26%)

Whitney Houston

Notes: The Preacher's Wife sees this week's notable movement, while I'm Your Baby Tonight enjoys another one of its monstrous percentage increases.

1. The Greatest Hits (2 CD): 899 (-4%)
2. The Greatest Hits (Video): 224 (-11%)
3. The Bodyguard: 222 (-24%)
4. The Preacher's Wife: 136 (+43%)

10. I'm Your Baby Tonight (Album): 10 (+233%)
11. It’s Not Right But it’s Okay: 7 (+40%)

One Wish scanned 5 units.

Janet Jackson

Notes: Not the best of weeks. Her biggest seller is flirting with fewer than 500 units. The Design Of A Decade video has made notable strides (after selling 20-30 units a week for some time) - possible markdowns may be helping.

1. Design Of A Decade 1986/1996 (album): 507 (-13%)
2. janet.: 375 (+4%)
3. Damita Jo: 301 (-37%)- 973,331
4. From janet. To Damita Jo: 284 (-4%)
5. Rhythm Nation: 191 (-14%)
6. The Velvet Rope: 180 (-11%)
7. All For You (album): 179 (-5%)
8. Control: 136 (-6%)
9. Design Of A Decade 1986/1996 (Video): 135 (+23%)
10. Live in Hawaii (Video): 116 (-4%)
11. All For You (CD/DVD): 28 (+33%)

Mariah Carey
(excluding Live at MSG DVD and digital single sales)

Notes: The Emanicpation Of Mimi - this year's Energizer Bunny - scans another 108K. Greatest Hits takes a nice jump forward, while #1's drops back. The #1's video also has picked up sales- maybe a markdown at some outlets? It's available for $8.99 at deepdiscountdvd- wonder if that's helped.

1. The Emancipation Of Mimi: 108,000
2. Greatest Hits: 4,483 (+21%)
3. #1's: 1,741 (-27%)
4. Remixes (2 CD): 480 (-6%)
5. Charmbracelet: 328 (+9%)
6. #1's (Video): 318 (+14%)
7. Music Box: 222 (+2%)
8. Butterfly: 213 (-24%)
9. Glitter: 174 (-7%)
10. Rainbow: 148 (+2%)
11. Daydream: 120 (-27%)
12. Around the World (Video): 111 (+17%)
13. Mariah Carey: 99 (-5%)
14. Through the Rain (single): 60 (-19%)
15. Emotions: 28 (-22%)
16. MTV Unplugged: 25 (+127%)

In The South Korean chart (updated daily) The Essential is right now at #9 [Period 2005.08.20 / 2005.08.12].

Also it's interesting to see that The Essential has been released on Cassete in this country! For the collectors, this will be a very rare item, time will tell.

but no certifications from ireland yet? what are the units sold for gold and platinum for ireland?

In Ireland sales awards aren't available to general public

There's no associations to certify albums, it should be applied by label (Sony/BMG)

For albums

Gold=7,500
Platinum=15,000

In my opinion THE ESSENTIAL is at least Platinum=15,000

Number Ones, until January 2005, was 5xPlatinum=75,000 (from mjjsource statement on worldwide Number Ones Sales)

As usual, difficult to say but I think that The Essential is a bit less than 1 million

From what we know:
100 000 in France
125 000 (approx.) in UK
44 777 in the US
35 000 in Australia
3 633 in Japan
7 500 in New Zealand.

= 316 000 copies.

Michael Jackson is smashing the charts in Sweden! The Essentials debuted at #9 in Sweden and is now up at #3.. Probably because they advertise the CD during the commercialbreak of the swedish version of "American Idol".

Way to go MJ! =D

In Germany, The Essential debuted at #10 and in the same chart, Live In Bucharest is al #70, I think there are no DVD chart in Germany. Edit: Yes, there is DVD chart, but it hasn't been updated... yet.

In Austria, The Essential debuted at #38 and in the DVD Chart, Live In Bucharest is at #8, the highest entry of the week.

SoundScan Information and commentary courtesy of JRKing. Thank you.

Sales For The Week Ending September 4th, 2005. Billboard Issue Date: September 17th, 2005.

*Note: This tally does not include sales for The Ultimate Collection (4 CD/1 DVD), single sales, certain music DVD titles (eg. The One, Dangerous: The Short Films, etc.), material recorded with The Jacksons, and Motown era solo and Jackson 5 albums. Weekly sales information for those titles is not available at this time.

Rank, Title, Sales This Week, Sales Last Week, +/- percentage

Michael Jackson - 17,700-18,200 units (Sales Estimate)

Madonna - 5,339 units

Notes: Immaculate holds up, while GHV2 gets back above 500 units. Ray Of Light rebounds a bit, while Like A Virgin dips to its lowest level in some time.

Currently, she has seven albums in the top 100 at the site.

1. The Immaculate Collection: 2,626 (-)
2. GHV2: 507 (+7%)

SoundScan Information and commentary courtesy of JRKing. Thank you.

Sales For The Week Ending September 11th, 2005. Billboard Issue Date: September 24th, 2005.

*Note: This tally does not include sales for The Ultimate Collection (4 CD/1 DVD), single sales, certain music DVD titles (eg. The One, Dangerous: The Short Films, etc.), material recorded with The Jacksons, and Motown era solo and Jackson 5 albums. Weekly sales information for those titles is not available at this time.

Rank, Title, Sales This Week, Sales Last Week, +/- percentage

Michael Jackson - 16,500 units (Sales Estimate)

Notes: Since SoundScan figures aren't available for The Essential and Live In Bucharest , we can only estimate how much The Essential sold based on the sales trajectory for the past few weeks and we can only estimate how much Live In Bucharest sold based on the chart ranking of the Number Ones DVD on the BB Comprehensive Music Videos Chart.

1. The Essential (2 CD): (Sales Estimate: 4,000)
2. Number Ones: 3,262 (3,689) (-12%)
3. Live In Bucharest - The Dangerous Tour (Video): (Sales Estimate: 2,800) (Moves down 13-15 on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart, 7 weeks on the chart)
4. Number Ones (Video): 2,661 (2,827) (-6%) (Moves down 12-16 on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart, 77 weeks on the chart)
5. Thriller: 1,404 (1,422) (-1%)

13. HIStory (2 CD): 68 (89) (-24%)
14. Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory In The Mix: 36 (41) (-12%)

Madonna - 9,720 units

Notes: This week marks the first week M's albums (most of them) were available for digital download. And, thus, we see some huge percentage increases. Sales of the 16 albums/EPs listed nearly doubled compared to the prior week- up from 4,700+ to almost 9,200 units.

Oddly, GHV2 doesn't look like it scanned a single copy as a digital album...

And don't look for these types of numbers from here on out- the totals will come down from here on out. But, the numbers should see a boost as we get closer to the new album.

1. The Immaculate Collection: 4,207 (+60%)
2. Ray Of Light: 574 (+156%)
3. GHV2: 500 (-1%)
4. Like A Virgin: 483 (+193%)
5. Madonna: 450 (+278%)
6. American Life: 429 (+301%)
7. Something to Remember: 380 (+72%)
8. True Blue: 358 (+180%)
9. Music: 353 (+215%)
10. Like a Prayer: 329 (+258%)
11. Erotica: 319 (+441%)
12. Bedtime Stories: 209 (+194%)
13. You Can Dance: 194 (+181%)
13. The Immaculate Collection (Video): 166 (-12%)
14. I'm Breathless: 140 (+312%)
15. Remixed & Revisited: 133 (+19%)
16. The Video Collection 93:99 (Video): 97 (+13%)
17. Girlie Show: Live Down Under: 65 (-19%)
18. Ciao, Italia: Live From Italy (Video): 65 (+2%)
19. Drowned World Tour 2001 (Video): 63 (+19%)
20. Evita: 55 (-19%)
21. Me Against the Music (Single): 45 (-)
22. American Life (Single): 36 (+125%)
23. Vogue (Single): 25 (+32%)
24. Hollywood (Single): 24 (-23%)
25. Nothing Fails (Single): 21 (-19%)

Cher - 4,727 units
(excluding live Farewell Tour and Gold CD's)

Notes: Very Best of Cher sees another uptick, as does all things Very-Best-Of-Cher-related. Living Proof scanned 39 units, down 17% from the prior week.

1. The Very Best of Cher (2 CD): 1,638 (+8%)
2. The Very Best of Cher (Video): 676 (+7%)
3. The Best of Cher - Millennium Collection (first edition): 628 (+13%)
4. The Very Best of Cher (Deluxe): 385 (+2%)
5. The Farewell Tour (Video): 316 (+17%)
6. The Best Of Cher - Millennium Collection (2004 edition): 277 (-6%)
7. If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher’s GH: 260 (+13%)
8. Live in Concert Video, 1999): 185 (-7%)
9. Heart Of Stone: 123 (+3%)
10. Half Breed: 122 (-13%)
11. Believe: 117 (+4%)


Whitney Houston - 1,773 units

Notes: GH dips *right* below 800 units this week. The only real bright spot among the albums is the gain for The Preacher's Wife OST. MLIYL sees a rebound this week, too. The Star Spangled Banner saw a big percentage increase. And after last week's "surge," I'm Your Baby Tonight scans zero copies.

1. The Greatest Hits (2 CD): 799 (-4%)
2. The Bodyguard: 240 (-3%)
3. The Greatest Hits (Video): 191 (-10%)
4. The Preacher's Wife: 151 (+54%)
5. Whitney Houston: 106 (-12%)
6. My Love is Your Love (Album): 93 (+18%)
7. Whitney: 74 (-4%)
8. Just Whitney: 62 (+22%)
9. The Star Spangled Banner: 57 (+128%)

Janet Jackson - 2,427units

Notes: Design Of A Decade slips back to a total that's flirting with fewer than 500 units. Damita Jo sees a decent boost. Interestingly, all of the major studio albums except janet. see a gain of some sort

1. Design Of A Decade 1986/1996 (album): 507 (-6%)
2. Damita Jo: 394 (+32%)

10. Design of a Decade 1986/1996 (Video): 101 (-13%)
11. All For You (CD/DVD): 37 (+16%)

Mariah Carey - 88,754 units (7,754 units excluding The Emancipation Of Mimi)
(excluding Live at MSG DVD and digital single sales)

Notes: Greatest Hits eases back a bit this week. Several titles see a gain of some sort.

(excluding Live at MSG DVD)

1. The Emancipation Of Mimi: 81,000 (-5%)
2. Greatest Hits (2 CD): 4,009 (-10%)
3. #1's: 1,540 (+6%)

In 1995, Motown started to negotiate the opportunity of official certifications for all the multi million sellers like Diana Ross, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5, Michael jackson etc....
They had an abstract full of achievements (charts and record sold).
The deal was so expensive and nothing happened.
Thimoty White of Billboard wrote something about it with all the numbers.

Here are MJ's numbers:

From Motown database:

GOT TO BE THERE............2.908.757
BEN........................3.345.612
MUSIC & ME.................1.002.310
FOREVER MICHAEL..............977.814

FAREWELL MY SUMMER LOVE....1.288.312
LOOKING BACK TO YESTERDAY.....86.212
THE ORIGINAL.................137.406
ANTHOLOGY....................702.341

COPIES SOLD,ONLY USA; INCLUDES: LP,MC,CD

This proves how much Michael is severely under-certified by the RIAA on albums and singles sales as well.

The information you are giving here is pretty amazing! I wasn't aware of this and I totally agree on the fact that Michael is really underestimated by the RIAA. Just a quick example: I think that RIAA estimates US sales for Michael of more or less 60 millions. If you just add what you have just given, it's almost 72 millions!!!!!

What do U mean with nothing happened? They stopped the certification process?

As far as the Timothy White article on Billboard explained, Motown (or Universal) were ready to certify most of their biggest artists main catalogue titles . Later, they denied to pursue the process on the basis of far expensive fee.

Here are some Motown singles sales found on Motown database :

I Want You Back Sales: 2.060.711.
ABC Sales: 2.214.790.
The Love You Save Sales: 1.948.761.
Maybe Tomorrow Sales: 830.794
Got To Be There Sales: 1.583.850.
Ben Sales: 1.701.475 .
Little Bitty Pretty One Sales: 590.629.
Looking Through The Windows Sales: 581.426.
Corner Of The Sky Sales: 381.426.
Dancing Machine Sales: 2.170.327.

Apart of I Want You Back, which was only certified Platinum in 1997 for 1 million sales, none of them ever received a nod for a RIAA certification.

Heal The World Soundscan sales: 303.755
They Don't Care About Us Soundscan sales: 327.260

These are Soundscan sales for 2 MJ solo singles that shows that they are eagerly in need of a RIAA Gold award for 500.000 units shipped.

I wonder why the ARIA hasn't certified these sales yet???!!!

1183113


It's the RIAA, not ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association). The reason they are not certified is that Motown never affiliated to RIAA cause they didn't want to pay for this!

Anyway, here's the breakdown for other MJ US sales:

Got To Be There................1.583.850
Rockin’ Robin....................2.101.641

I wanna be where you are.........658.305

Madonna

Notes: So, the "fallout" post-iTunes-debut week isn't as severe as some may have expected. Still don't know why GHV2 shows scanning *0* in the digital arena- if it was a technical glitch, wouldn't it have been corrected? (that also affected "Like a Prayer" for individual tracks- just one version was tracked, as opposed to its two- it would have been second-, third- or fourth-most downloaded track).

Anyhoo, sales of the 16 albums totaled 7,708 units, a drop of roughly 15.4%. TIC and ROL held up nicely. However, sales should continue to ease back to more-normal paces over the next couple of weeks, I'd think.

1. The Immaculate Collection: 3,928 (-7%)
2. Ray Of Light: 520 (-9%)
3. GHV2: 433 (-13%)

It's the RIAA, not ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association). The reason they are not certified is that Motown never affiliated to RIAA cause they didn't want to pay for this!

Thank you for the correction. :blush:

I don't understand the MOTOWN... they didn't want to pay for certification???!!!

Exactly! But I hope things will change cause Universal now administrates the Motown label. I know that Elvis Presley fans once petitionned in order to encourage RCA to audit his entire catalogue of albums and singles in USA. Once they did it, Elvis' sales audited total increased by ten of millions.

Well, I'm still waiting for may correspondant response. He's the one who have all these informations from an old article of Billboard. However, he told me that he only had individual sales from Motown records, cause he had access from a friend at Motown database.

pierpento - Thanks so much for the Live In Bucharest chart trajectory in Belgium. Very cool to see the DVD notching the #1 spot in yet another country! Thanks as well for the sales figures.

Question for ya... Do you have another link for Germany's album chart aside from this one: http://www.mix1.de/chartsarchiv/ The reason I ask is because The Essential has now fallen outside the Top 20 in Germany.

hope - Thanks for the USA SoundsScan total for The Essential as well as for the SoundScan figures for the past two weeks!

You're welcome BB, we just need 16,616 more copies scanned to reach platinum which we would have had months ago had Sony not been so greedy and released the 2-cd Essential Collection. The Essential Collection is MJ's top scanning cd right now followed by 'Number Ones'.

Just wanted to let everyone know I went to Best Buy today in the USA (Saturday, October 15, 2005) and I believe the reason that ‘The Essential Michael Jackson’ is Michael’s top selling cd right now is because Best Buy in conjunction with Sony/BMG are having an artists Essential sale. If you buy 2 of the artists in the Essential collection you only pay $25 and it comes out to each cd being only $12.50 a piece versus them being $16.99 if you only buy one of them. Also the Essential has all of the hits from Michael’s biggest albums and it’s a lot cheaper to buy right now than his studio albums.

SoundScan Information and commentary courtesy of JRKing. Thank you.

Sales For The Week Ending October 9th, 2005. Billboard Issue Date: October 22nd, 2005.

*Note: This tally does not include sales for The Ultimate Collection (4 CD/1 DVD), single sales, certain music DVD titles (eg. The One, Dangerous: The Short Films, etc.), material recorded with The Jacksons, and Motown era solo and Jackson 5 albums. Weekly sales information for those titles is not available at this time.

Rank, Title, Sales This Week, Sales Last Week, +/- percentage

Michael Jackson - 14,046 units (Sales Estimate)

Notes: Since SoundScan figures aren't available for The Essential and Live In Bucharest , we can only estimate how much The Essential sold based on it's sales trajectory for the past few weeks. Likewise, we can only estimate how much Live In Bucharest sold based on the chart ranking of the Number Ones DVD on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart.

1. The Essential: 3,000 (Sales Estimate) (Cumulative sales estimate: 65,399 units)
2. Number Ones: 2,743 (2,870) (-4%) (Year To Date sales: 178,702 units) (Cumulative sales: 983,384 units) Thanks hope.
3. Number Ones (DVD/Video): 2,376 (2,376) (-) (#18 on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart, 81 weeks on the chart) (Cumulative sales: 367,138 units)
4. Live In Bucharest - The Dangerous Tour (Video): (Sales Estimate: 2,000) (#22 on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart, 11 weeks on the chart)
5. Thriller: 1,545 (+9%)
6. Greatest Hits: HIStory Vol. 1: 738 (+17%)
7. Off The Wall: 532 (+1.5%)
8. Greatest Hits: HIStory (Video): 308 (-4%)
9. HIStory On Film - Vol. 2: 285 (+35%)
10. Bad: 151 (+4%)
11. Dangerous: 149 (+6%)
12. Invincible: 104 (-30%)
13. HIStory (2-CD): 91 (+18%)
14. Blood on the Dance Floor: 24 (+71%)

Madonna

Notes: Well, it had to happen eventually.

The Immaculate Collections dips below the 2K mark for the first time in- well, possibly ever. It scanned 1,993 units last week. The title surely will see a boost in coming weeks (maybe more than usual, with the new material hitting).

Overall, the 16 albums scanned 4,239 units, a drop of 5.8% from the prior week. I also learned that through 10/2, GHV2's digital tally was around 640 units - so, as said, not much of an impact there (or to its weekly scores).

Some chain must have had some of the video titles on sale- look at the gain for Ciao Italia! And, Drowned World sees a second week of gains.

1. The Immaculate Collection: 1,993 (-5%)
2. GHV2: 292 (-6%)
3. Ray Of Light: 276 (+3%)
4. Like A Virgin: 271 (-2%)

hope - Thanks for the update. Something tells me that even though The Essential peaked much higher in the UK, it's US total will eventually surpass it when all is said and done. 100k by years end is a definite possibility especially since Halloween/holiday sales will be kicking in anytime now. Not to be forgetton, Number Ones is just weeks away from scanning 1 million units.

Thanks again.

You're welcome BB, I hope that Halloween effect helps the remastered 'Thriller' that would be awesome to have it go platinum and beyond since the original long ago did that.

No it means literally it has scanned 76,150 copies. The confusion comes when RIAA counts it double for certification, I hope that makes sense. For example: HIStory has scanned nearly 2.6 million copies. Sony shipped 3.5 million to retailers and online outlets etc. but RIAA counted those 3.5 million shipped as 7 million for certification.

I&#39;ve just become aware that there was no info on DVD for Live in Bucharest in France; After searching, that&#39;s what I have (no more info :no: )

Week01 (25/08/05): No info

This is the general French TOP 20 DVD (including also movies so the 11th position is quite good, taking into account that for sure, the weeks before were better)

Apple&#39;s Already Sold Over 1 Million Videos

By Geoff Duncan
Staff Writer, Designtechnica News

Apple says the iTunes Music Store has sold more than 1 million videos since the company introduced its new video-capable iPod on October 12.

Apple Computer announced today that customers of its iTunes Music Store have purchased more than 1 million videos since the video-download service was introduced alongside new video-capable iPods on October 12.

"Selling one million videos in less than 20 days strongly suggests there is a market for legal video downloads," said Steve Jobs, Apple (and Pixar) CEO. "Our next challenge is to broaden our content offerings, so that customers can enjoy watching more videos on their computers and new iPods."

And the offerings could certainly be much broader: videos for sale on Apple&#39;s store cost $1.99 each, and are formatted at a low resolution for playback on Apple&#39;s video iPods. Selections include music videos from popular music artists, shorts films from Pixar, and (most notably) ad-free episodes from popular ABC television series such as Desperate Housewives and Lost available only one day after broadcast.

Apple says the top video downloads include music videos from Michael Jackson, Fatboy Slim and Kanye West, alongside Pixar’s For the Birds and Boundin&#39;, and, of course, episodes of Lost and Desperate Housewives.

SoundScan Information and commentary courtesy of JRKing. Thank you.

Cumulatives USA SoundScan sales for The Essential and Number Ones courtesy of Hanboo and hope. Thanks guys!

Sales For The Week Ending October 30th, 2005. Billboard Issue Date: November 12th, 2005.

*Note: This tally does not include sales for The Ultimate Collection (4 CD/1 DVD), single sales, certain music DVD titles (eg. The One, Dangerous: The Short Films, etc.), material recorded with The Jacksons, and Motown era solo and Jackson 5 albums. Weekly sales information for those titles is not available at this time.

Rank, Title, Sales This Week, Sales Last Week, +/- percentage

Michael Jackson - 14,908 units (Sales Estimate)

Notes: Some gains this week, with the biggest percentage gain going to the two HIStory editions. A found-out figure for the Live In Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour DVD - through the week ending October 16th (Billboard Issue Date October 29th, 2005) chart week - it had scanned around 37,170 units to date. Therefore, it&#39;s current cumulative sales should be around 40,000 units based on the roughly 2,000 units the DVD shifts each week. Of course, let&#39;s not forget 62k copies of the Live In Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour DVD are already sold through The Ultimate Collection (4 CD/1 DVD) boxed set.

Since SoundScan figures aren&#39;t available for Live In Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour, we can only estimate how much it sold based on the chart ranking of the Number Ones DVD on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart.

1. Number Ones: 3,346 (+4%) (Cumulative sales: 992,632 units. Thanks hope)
2. The Essential (2 CD): 2,647 (Sales Estimate) (Note: The Essential has scanned 5,295 units over the past two weeks, therefore, this week&#39;s 2,647 sales estimate is based on dividing that 5,295 figure by two.) (Cumulative sales: 81,445 units)
3. Number Ones (DVD/Video): 2,696 (+8%) (Move up 19-16 on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart, 84 weeks on the chart)
4. Thriller: 1,896 (+11.5%)
5. Live In Bucharest - The Dangerous Tour (Video): (Sales Estimate: 1,800 units) (Moves down 24-29 on the Billboard Comprehensive Music Videos Chart, 14 weeks on the chart)
6. Greatest Hits: HIStory Volume 1: 848 (+20%)
7. Off The Wall: 463 (-7.5%)
8. Greatest Hits: HIStory (Video): 434 (+15%)
9. HIStory on Film- Volume 2: 242 (-13%)
10. Bad: 196 (+3.5%)

14. Blood On The Dance Floor: 17 (-26%)

BONUS!

"Thriller" - Hot Digital Songs
Week #03 (12/10/05): #36 (Re-Entry) (Sales: 9,496 units) (Last Week&#39;s Sales: 4,151 units) (+129%) (Cumulative sales: 150,086 units)

(Thanks enrico)

Madonna - 6,420 units

Notes: The Immaculate Collection drops back a little bit, but most ofthe albums/EPs saw increases. Like other acts with new albums, the mnost recent album (in thiscase, American Life) should benefit most from the new album.

Cher - 3,447 units
(excluding live Farewell Tour CD and the Gold CD)

Notes: Notes: Nothing of much note here, except that Very Best Of keeps chugging along OK.

1. The Very Best Of Cher (2 CD): 1,325 (-9%)
2. The Very Best of Cher (Video): 630 (+7%)
3. The Best Of Cher - Millennium Collection (first edition): 326 (-19%)

Janet Jackson - 2,080 units

Notes: Still with her top-selling album scanning less than 500 units in a week. Her debut album (not listed here) saw sales increase from 1 to 5 copies - a whopping 400% gain.

1. Design Of A Decade 1986/1996 (album): 481 (-1%)
2. janet.: 307 (-1%)
3. Damita Jo: 279 (-5%)
4. From janet. To Damita Jo (Video): 234 (-5%)
5. All For You (album): 175 (-7%)
6. The Velvet Rope: 183 (-1%)
7. Rhythm Nation: 168 (-3%)
8. Control: 137 (+11%)
9. Live in Hawaii (DVD/video): 57 (-15%)
10. All For You (CD/DVD): 32 (+10%)
11. Design of a Decade 1986/1996 (Video): 27 (+35%)


Mariah Carey - 7,297 units (44,997 units including The Emancipation Of Mimi)
(excluding Live at MSG DVD and digital single sales)

Notes: The Mimi album scanned another 37,700 units- it should pass Butterfly&#39;s SS total with next week&#39;s numbers, to give her her 4th highest SoundScan tally. The re-release his 11/15, and that should give it a big percentage gain (and more than likely return the album to the top 10).

Among the older titles, Greatest Hits increased some, as did the perennial top-selling holiday effort, Merry Christmas. The dual-disc version appeared in some stores last week- I&#39;d think the new sales would be lumped with sales of the existing album.

1. The Emancipation Of Mimi: 37,663 (-24%) (Cumulative sales: 3,650,187) (#17 on the Billboard 200)
2. Greatest Hits (2 CD): 3,210 (+7%)
3. Merry Christmas: 1,234 (+81%)
4. #1&#39;s: 913 (-5%)
5. Remixes (2 CD): 400 (-19%)

BuffaloBill - Why do you never post record sales from Usher, U2, Prince, 50 Cent, Eminem etc???

Why do place MJ&#39;s sales with like Cher??!! :blink: And Madonna, Whitney etc.... Can&#39;t you include Rap acts in your sales??

It&#39;s a bizzare camp selection you place alongside MJ&#39;s and I have no idea why you do this....?

Seány Boy. :D

But Usher and 50 Cent are at the height of their popularity. It wouldn&#39;t be fair to compare MJ to them. But I do admit that it would be interesting to see the catalogue sales of Prince, U2 and The beatles. But I understand that BB can only post what she knows.
