    Riot Act went Gold and that fell from its debut at #5 to 36, finally disappeared out of the top 100 in week 6.
    A second single is required though I dont know which one, there is a bunch of contenders.

    If pearl jam had shipped a million copies then that would been on the charts already. I guess you don't remember the whole fiasco that started with Garth Brooks? PJ held the record for most albums sold in a week with Vs. It looked like no one could touch that record. So they cheated and change the math.
    The charts used to be based on albums sold, they switched it to albums shipped. So now all an artist has to do is find enough retailers to ship a bunch of albums too to crank the number up in the first week.
    So the shipments are already reflected in the numbers you're seeing on the charts. BTW If they'd never changed the way they counted it, i'm fairly convinced PJ would still hold the record.

    Of course, with no record company, it's not clear who would ask for the certification.

    I wonder if they're doing a sort of re-release of Backspacer on Oct. 13th. With the Pearl Jam radio takeover.

    They also project 40,000 for Miley Cyrus, but she already has 33,000+ with 37% reporting. Maybe all the kiddie stores have already reported.

    I think some of her fans should be reported.

    She should be shot in the face.

    Why would you want a child shot in the face?

    Fourth week sales were just over 20,000. Looks like this will place "Backspacer" at No. 23 on The Billboard 200. (Note: Hits Daily Double lists it at No. 25, but that includes two Michael Jackson catalog albums ahead of it that are not eligible for The Billboard 200.)

    So, the chart run so far looks to be 1-10-16-23, which means "Backspacer" is holding up much better than "Riot Act," but not quite as well as "Pearl Jam," at least over the first month. "Pearl Jam" was 2-8-10-17-22 the first 5 weeks; "Riot Act" was 5-36-67-90-100.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
