If sales for Bucky’s CD continue to hold steady in the 1,500 – 1,600 range for the next month, he will outsell Kat. Yikes for Kat but Yay for Bucky.
From Idol Chatter:
Not that I’m aware of. There might be a lesser Billboard chart that includes it somehow… Kirsten may know. But I don’t think we ever get sales numbers for videos, especially since selling music videos is a fairly new practice.
I’m pretty sure they don’t. BB only mentions the sales of singles, airplay and streams.
BB has a million charts. I would not be surprised to find that they have one for “Top Songs about Lawn Mowers”. They need one for YouTube videos. I know that’s where I go to check out new songs. Nevermind. You had a question.
I think the chart that tracks music videos is the Hot Videoclip Tracks, but that might be “airplay”.
Did you know they actually track “Video Sales – Recreational Sports” (top seller last week was “UFC 84: Ill Will”), “Top Kid Video” (yes, that’s the name of the chart…you go Ariel!) and “Top VHS Sales (who still sells those? “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” owns that category while “The Office” tops “Top DVD Sales” and “Top TV DVD Sales” ).
Anyway, the BB200 leaked, so I’ll be updating that.
If TOML is at 900,000 sales, based on my estimation and the decreasing number of sales of TOML. TOML will go platinum in about 10 weeks or around December this year if Cook is lucky.
Jordin became hip with the teens because of Chris Brown (No Air) and Jesse McCartney (Concerts). Her Tattoo wasn’t selling well, then when Chris Brown entered into her life, Tattoo skyrocketed into fame and people started liking it.
Who’s buying Carrie’s music???? Are there that many country fans?? I think there are more Country fans than rock fans.
I never listened to any of Carrie’s songs because I do not like country music.
By the time “No Air” was released, Tattoo was already popular, selling platinum and practically single-handly carrying Jordin’s album to gold. Of course, the success of No Air as well as the concert tours helped as well (as it should, it’s called “promotion”).
