It was a thrill to open my
Target Stores
flyer this morning and see
On My Way Here
as the first CD on the
"Tune in Tuesday"
page.
I am going to open this thread now so we all get together and talk about the sales buzz in upcoming week.
We will officially get some numbers after the first week of sales.
I can't wait to see how this CD does.

MADONNA’S CANDY CAN DO
Hall of Famer’s Final WB Album Debuts at #1, Lyfe Jennings, The Roots, Def Leppard, Portishead and Mudcrutch Also Bow in Top 10
May 6, 2008
For Madonna, it’s once more with feeling.
The Material Gal’s final studio recording for Warner Bros., Hard Candy, debuts at #1 on this week’s HITS Album Sales chart, with 282k for the critically-acclaimed disc.
That was enough to turn back last week’s diva, as Mariah Carey’s Island/IDJ album E=MC2 dips to #2 after a pair of weeks on top, with 87k.
J Records/Syco Music’s U.K. phenom Leona Lewis is #3, with 82k, remaining strong with just a 17% dropoff.
Columbia R&B star Lyfe Jennings’ Lyfe Change leads a group of four Top 10 newcomers at #4, followed by The Roots’ Def Jam/IDJ album Rising Down (#5), Island/IDJ area rockers Def Leppard’s Songs From the Sparkle Lounge (#6) and Island/IDJ’s Portishead (#7).

Next week, look for Columbia’s Neil Diamond to lead a group of new releases that includes
RCA’s Clay Aiken
, 143/Reprise’s Josh Groban with a live CD/DVD and Toby Keith’s 35 Biggest Hits on Show Dog/Mercury.
For the record, they usually only mention the CDs that they believe will be the
top sellers
in their next week's listings.

AC - wonderful figures for the CD!!!!
I brought my post over from Critical Mass for you - so many people are upset at the thought that the CD may not sell has many copies the first week as we had hoped, so I looked a few figures up: NOTE:) the dates are the dates of the magazines, not the dates of the charts).
Quote
I donate magazines after I read them (If I did not we would be buried in magazines here). I have a stack ready to go and I pulled out some back issures of Entertainment Weekly to check first week sales of CDs from the BillBoard Top 20 charts - EW does not gives figures from all Cds, but here are some figures you may (or may not ) find interesting:
April 4th:
#1 - Danty Kanes 236,000
#18 - Gnarls Barley 31,000 (online sales only)
April 11
#1 Day 26 190,000
#2 Panic At The Disco 139,000
#3 Counting Crows 106,000
#11 B 52s 30,000
April 18
#1 George Strait 166,000
#2 REM 115,000
#6 Trina 47,000
#10 Van Morrison 37,000
April 25th
#1 Leona Lewis 205,000
#3 James Otto 57,000
# 7 Ray J 39,000
May 9th
#1 Mariah Carey 182,000
#4 Ashlee Simpson 47,000
#5 Atmosphere 36,000
Clay's place on the Billboard charts next week will depend entirely upon the other Cds that were released this week with his.

Neil Diamond On Track For First No. 1 Album Ever
May 07, 2008, 5:50 PM ET
Keith Caulfield, L.A.
Forty-one years after he first appeared on The Billboard 200, Neil Diamond looks to be on course to earn his first No. 1 album ever on next week's chart as first-day sales of "Home Before Dark" (Columbia) lead the Nielsen SoundScan Building chart released May 7.
Unweighted sales for "Home" from the chart's panel of nine reporters through the close of business Tuesday, May 6, came in at 30,000. A source close to the album projects a first-week start in the neighborhood of 125,000. This week's current No. 1, Madonna's "Hard Candy" (Warner Bros.), may slide to No. 2 or No. 3 next week on The Billboard 200, while new entries from Gavin DeGraw,
Clay Aiken
, Toby Keith and Josh Groban look
headed for top 10 bows
.
Projecting sales this week is a bit tricky as shopping for the Mother's Day
holiday on Sunday, May 11, may amplify the demand for certain sets --
like the mom-friendly efforts
from Diamond,
Aiken
, Keith and Groban.
Billboard estimates the merchants who report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building Chart -- Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Circuit City, iTunes, Starbucks, Borders, Target, Anderson Merchandisers and Handleman Co. -- comprise about 80% of all U.S. album sales.
Over the course of Diamond's career, he's racked up 45 albums on The
Billboard 200, starting with 1966's "The Feel of Neil Diamond." The recent "American Idol" guest has earned 13 top 10 albums, including his last effort, "12 Songs," which debuted and peaked at No. 4 in late 2005.

DIAMOND IS A CHART’S BEST FRIEND
Legend’s Rick Rubin-Produced Columbia Album Will Debut at #1
May 7, 2008
It’s been 42 years since Neil Diamond released his debut album in 1966, The Feel of Neil Diamond.
The veteran singer-songwriter proves he’s still got the waist movement, Cherry, with his latest Columbia Records release, Home Before Dark, produced by label creative chief Rick Rubin, set to debut at #1 next week for Steve Barnett and company with a one-week total of 125-130k.
That number, which could go higher with Mother’s Day weekend sales, should be more than enough to beat out Madonna’s WB release, Hard Candy, which appears on tap for between 85-95k after one week on top.
It’ll be the first chart-topping bow for Diamond in his four-decade-long career, based on one-day reports from all those music retailers recovered enough from Cinco de Mayo festivities to return our e-mails.
Diamond's last album for the label, 2005’s 12 Songs, the first one produced by Rubin, saw its sales stunted by Andy Lack’s rootkit fiasco, though it recovered enough to eventually go gold.
RCA American Idol alum Clay Aiken is On My Way Here, with loyal Claymates pushing his first-week sales total to 80-85k, just ahead of fellow J Records heartthrob Gavin DeGraw’s self-titled sophomore album with 75-80k.
Other chart newcomers include Show Dog Mercury country star Toby Keith’s 35 Biggest Hits, on target for 60-70k, followed by 143/Reprise pop crooner Josh Groban’s live CD/DVD package at 50-55k and a greatest hits compilation from Capitol Nashville’s latest Real Men of Genius subject Dierks Bentley at 30-35k.
The market was up 10% over last week, down 10% vs. the same week last year and down 11% year to date, which seems to be following the trajectory of George W.’s approval rating.

That's a good story about Neil Diamond
AMAZON RANKING: 5-9-08
1. On My Way Here: #2 Vocal Pop
2. On My Way Here: #2 Adult Contemporary
3. On My Way Here: #3 Overall
I read all the posts and saw the remark about Clay's CD perhaps selling less than 100,000
Is that a combined total of everything: physical CDs, on-line sales, mail orders. I think sales of CD's are going to continue to go down for nearly everyone unless an act grabs the national attention for a couple of weeks like the Amy Winehouse person or this Leona Lewis act. I also have to put some emphasis on how low-key Clay remains...aside from the usual debut week/month of a CD's release, he isn't putting his CD out there for all to see. However, in a different approach, speculation tends to say that Clay is comfortable with his own audience and releases songs or appears on TV shows just for his audience to enjoy whereas other singer's continue the wall to wall hype year after year after year...hype reaching people who perhaps are not fans of the artist and that breeds resentment. I'm sure those who groan at the music of Neil Diamond are pulling their hair out wondering how on earth he could achieve such a big sales success this far into his career...the naysayers probably wonder how he ever landed a recording contract. There are people out there like that and as we know, Clay critics are a plenty...so as i read negative remarks about Clay's new CD or read this or that from those who really aren't fans of Clay's musical selections, i roll my eyes a lot, because they don't "get it". The big music critics will never get it...they never got John Denver's appeal...they don't get Barry Manilow's...they don't get Neil Diamond's...they don't get Clay Aiken's...etc etc
