HDD Sales Projection for Carnival Ride (week 29)
Here is HDD's one-day sales numbers. Some interesting numbers.
Quote:
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 After 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 Own 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.

I wouldn't say they are too low.....I mean, yea compared to his others thats a low opening week...but he has had very little album promotion, and his last 2 albums were a Christmas album, and a Love Songs cover album......so he really hasn't had any new original music sence Measure of a Man in 2003. I also think HDD is a little off, I don't doubt that Mother's Day will give him a boost because obvioulsy he appeals a little bit more to the older generations of females (Mothers, Grandmothers, Great-Grandmothers....) So my prediction is 90-110k for Clay, which nowadays is definately something to be really proud of. I also think this album will do better in terms of consistancy, his new single On My Way Here (which I love) is doing okay on the AC/Pop charts...and there are definately 2 or 3 other potential singles on the album. Thats just my opinion. BTW, I'm NOT a CLATMATE!!! im just a big fan of his music....lol

RF album could be a factor since they were on DWTS and The Tonight Show.

Carrie needs to do some tv slots ASAP.  It is just going down more and more every week. Soon she will be out of the top 50 altogether.
Hopefully--- the Opry induction and mother's day will help a bit. |

Agree with you here, too. She does need to some TV appearances. CR is slipping more and more each week. Something needs to be done.

Well I assume she'll be on the AI finale and don't forget about the ACM's coming up, so those appearances will help.
