Wooo Hoo! CDWD until next week!! Then it’s CUWD time…
Wow - Jordin seems to be doing really well with her first single. Good for her.
Hit Predictor had Tattoo as a hit about a month ago. They usually get these things right. It’ll be interesting to see if this translates to album sales. Big hits on Top 40 don’t always give you big sales for some reason.
Just ask Kat….Kat Deluna, that is. See also Kingston, Sean.
According to HDD Jive is shipping 800k copies of Jordin’s debut album. That should mean first week sales around 250k.
