    yes. It's been in the top 50 for all except 1 week since its release. Albums don't sell that well nowadays except for a few artists. So if this was 10 years ago maybe double what it is now.

    And compare their first week sales to Britney's. 166k to 108k. PJ debut at #1. She at #5.

    I'm guessing it will be certified gold by March.

    Kings of Leon and Nine Inch Nails, what were their debut numbers?

    That's pretty low for KoL... being as huge as they were with Only by the night.

    PJ is selling strong...

    Hits Daily Double doesn't include catalog titles (and doesn't have complete Soundscan data), so the chart position there will be inflated and/or incomplete. "Lightning Bolt" is No. 65 this week on the Billboard 200, not No. 49.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Yea. For awhile Billboard didn't include catalog titles in the top 200. It had it's own separate category. Even in the singles charts there are a lot of older songs re-entering. They even count youtube views for the hot 100.

    Yes, the YouTube thing is a travesty that has completely delegitimized the Hot 100. For Pete's sake, "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi re-entered the Hot 100 a few weeks ago at No. 25 because there was a viral video of a kid dancing and lip-synching to the song at a basketball game. Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" returned to No. 1 last week because there was a viral video of a guy parodying the original music video. In neither of these instances were the views driven by the popularity of the song that plays incidentally in the video. Billboard needs to figure out a way to fix this because the chart now borders on being a joke.

    Didn't make it onto the top 50. Although I think sales might be the same or higher than last week

    Yes, but the week of sales reflected in this chart includes a full week of holiday sales, since it was for sales from December 16-22.

    Yea I meant to type that now it will be in the 40-60s if it continues to stay in the 8-10k range. I thought I did.
