haha….good one frogcooke!! :laugh_tb: :clap_tb:
Just to refresh everyone’s memory, here are the predictions HDD made a few day ago…
YOUR FEARLESS WEAKEND TOP 10 CHART PREVIEW: This is clearly Taylor Swiftà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s moment, as the 18-year-old prodigy follows the universal (see how we did that?) critical hosannas for her sophomore album on Big Machine with what is shaping up as a stunning 550-600k bow. Youth will also be served in the #2 slot, which will be occupied by the debut Idol runner-up David Archuleta (Jive/ZLG), with a projected 200-210k. Thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a battle shaping up for #3 between two more debuts: Archuletaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s labelmate T-Pain and UMeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Now 29, as both trend toward 160-170k. This weekà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s charttopper, the soundtrack to Twilight (Chop Shop/Atlantic), is jockeying for the #5 position with AC/DC (Columbia), as each appears on course for 100-110k. The second half of the leader board will most likely be occupied by Repriseà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s debuting Enya (90-100k), Disneyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s High School Musical 3 (85-90k), RCA/RMGà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Target exclusive on Christina Aguilera (bowing with 70-80k) and either Grand Hustle/Atlanticà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s T.I. or Columbiaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s John Legend (both looking 60-65k-ish). (11/14a)

What soundscene said sounds very reasonable and logical, but I have to say this is starting to get nerve-wracking. However, the fact that Now 29 increased by only a little over 3000 since the last update is encouraging.
Archie is closing in on number 2. :clap_tb:

Hey, I thought Archie would come in between 160-180K. Maybe I’m getting better at these predictive powers. HDD, call me! LOL.
Good show Archie. I’ll wait for the official numbers before running comparisons.
Very proud of you David! those are great numbers no matter what
now hoping for consistent album sales the coming weeks.
Yeah David! Quite okay with those numbers. Let’s see where they go from here. I am sure he is quite proud of himself.
Great job, Archie! Who is Taylor Swift? Sheesh, that’s a lot of albums.
Someone said that amazon is not part of HDD and that it should go up for Billboard’s numbers.
Last week, #1 was Pink and she sold 180, 470, so David did great!! Woohoo!
Wow, Taylor Swift sold a CRAZY number of albums.
blissful, she is a country (poppish) singer/songwriter who is big with the teen crowd. She also dated and got dumped by one of the Jonas brothers recently. The only song of hers that I heard on the radio (HAC/Top 40) was Tears on My Guitar which I actually found execrable, but I heard that the reviews for her new album are generally favorable. She’s been releasing a single a week from this new album and has gotten mass single downloads off that gimmick. She’s apparently built herself a head of steam that’s translated into full album sales. Wow!
Taylor is a crossover artist. Her song, “Love Story” has been a huge hit. Check out her music video of it on youtube. Not bad.
Woohoo!! David’s album debuts at Number 2! Congratulations, David!!! :clap_tb:
Actually, last week’s #1 was Twilight with 165K. Pink was #2, like David, with 180K a couple weeks ago.
I had heard that Amazon wasn’t in the final HDD numbers, but I don’t know that for sure. Soundscan numbers are generally around the same as HDD.
soundscene, thanks for the clarification. Someone gave those figures on another forum.
Still glad to see Bucky has a song on the charts in “I’ll Walk.” Okay, I’m living in the past, lol, but I do love country music and I do love Bucky.
I finally found the full numbers available at http://www.mediabasemusic.com/charts.asp (although they aren’t ranked, the spin count is shown).
