Looks like a realistic target might be a top 3 finish. We just need to watch out for the Dixie Chicks.

I'm finding this chart a bit hard to believe. Carrie has sold around 3.1 million CD's now. 3.1 - 1.3 = 1.8 million CD's sold between Nov 15 and Dec 31 of 2005? Is that correct?

Actually SH only sold 1.5 M as of the last update of 2005 (December 29). It was aided by the big Christmas sales rush where it sold over 400K. Anyway for more details check out Cary's update for that week:

I'm not so sure where we would put the sales of December 26, 2005- January 1, 2006.

Yup, 1,636,689 albums to be exact. Carrie had 7 sales weeks in 2005. 7 BIG sales weeks.

UPDATE: The chart wasn't updated to include this week's sales in the PMB. In the meantime, here is the Top 16. Only 30,593 albums separate Mary J. Blige and Carrie, who is steadily moving in on that #4 spot. Carrie didn't outsell Mary as much as she did last week and Mary's sales may increase on next week's charts because of the BET Awards. Thus, the soonest we can expect Carrie to finally take that #4 spot is (and this is just a wild guess) late July.

Incidentally, I hope 2m updates the charts at the PMB soon. I really don't like computing numbers, and I might just be forced to do that since I want to see a longer list and I have a lot of time on my hands, LOL! Would any of our dear CFer's who are also PMB members mind asking 2m for the updated charts? I've tried repeatedly to register on PMB but I could never make it work for some reason

1 HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL SOUNDTRACK 2,563,227
2 ME & MY GANG RASCAL FLATTS 1,938,570
3 BACK TO BEDLAM JAMES BLUNT 1,634,252
4 THE BREAKTHROUGH MARY J BLIGE 1,478,891
5 SOME HEARTS CARRIE UNDERWOOD 1,448,298
6 NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC! 21 VARIOUS ARTISTS 1,321,969
7 T.I. KING 1,301,857
8 DIXIE CHICKS TAKING THE LONG WAY 1,190,254
9 AMORE ANDREA BOCELLI 1,114,097
10 CURTAIN CALL: THE HITS EMINEM 1,059,742
11 ALL THE RIGHT REASONS NICKELBACK 1,042,249

15 THE LEGEND OF JOHNNY CASH JOHNNY CASH 995,347
16 THE GREATEST SONGS OF THE FIFTIES BARRY MANILOW 958,886

Compared to last week:

4 THE BREAKTHROUGH MARY J BLIGE 1,460,055
5 SOME HEARTS CARRIE UNDERWOOD 1,415,165

ETA: Since I computed the top 16, I might as well put it on the first post. Now off to compute for the Billboard chart year thread...

carrierules · 06-29-2006, 04:28 AM

BBallTennisChk14 · 06-29-2006, 11:17 PM

Dang that stupid HSM.

Future Idol · 06-30-2006, 05:43 AM

I think she'll beat "The Breakthrough" in a few weeks, if not next week

Thanks LeilaMaurizia.... Btw I'm from Brazil and I love VB. I was just wondering if your nick is about Leila Barros (Brazil) and Maurizia Cacciatori (Italy), lol...

Exactly! My 2 favorite teams used to be Brazil and Italy. I would have included Francesca Piccinini and Fofao, but my screenname would have been too long, LOL

Unfortunately, most of my fave players have retired so I don't watch volleyball anymore.

WOW, a Carrie fan from Brazil! Carrie does have a lot of international fans

I'm glad you enjoy the chart! I like watching how Carrie's sales are competing in the "real world" outside of AI.

I know this is going too much off-topic, I'm sorry it's my last post about it I promise. I was just wondering where are you from? Maybe Phil? I know both Leila and Maurizia had so many fans right there.

Btw I still keep on watching and loving VB a lot as much as I do with Carrie!!!

Great to find people who loves VB as me here, lol.
