I agree. Don't think Derulo sold a lot of album either. (does he? LOL) Jason sells the absolute crap out of singles and has a huge young fan base. If Adam does not pick up new fans touring, especially in the US, is going to be very difficult. Maybe he'll do a few music festivals over the summer, as he's mentioned promo is his priority and usually "younger" audiences attend these as something to do for their summer vacation? |

The chart I was looking at said final at the top rather than estimate but maybe I didn't read it right. In any case, the one 4M's posted with the streams included seems official but what do I know. It is the Final estimate from HDD. They don't get "hard" numbers from all sources. Some are guesstimates. However, they are very very good and are never off by more than a couple hundred, maybe a thouand at most. Adam has too wide a spread to worry about anything, he is not losing a position tomorrow. If they were a little low, like say, 1769, though, this time, i would be thrilled!  Now, I feel a little bad that I didn't have more streams going or bought more albums. Don't guess being # 2 is that much better than # 3....right? Just 2,000 more albums....400 of us should have bought 5 more albums. Or just 2,000 of his 2 million plus twitter followers could have bought just one album. |

We did the best we could financially, and besides, the chart positions aren't everything! Being in the Top 3 despite all the competition from Duff and Nate is pretty damn impressive! Put it this way, we want organic sales, not fans buying up 2000 more albums! We want to see that the numbers increase because Adam is gaining more new fans  Only then will sales and streams perpetuate! Remember that we're not responsible for Adam's sales numbers. A large percentage of the numbers must have come from WBR's publicity efforts (which were great) and I'm very thankful for that. What we can do as fans is to help throw in a couple more sales so that it'll stay respectable on the following charts |

Yes, I understand. I should have quoted it as the HDD final estimate. I know that the Billboard Chart is the big enchilada. How much to the numbers tend to shift? That is a number thread discussion. I will answer it there later today. I am added an illustration so ya'll don't think that I am making a useless distinction. HDD is directionally correct but not always right. HDD Sales Plus Streaming -- 1 MUSE DRONES WARNER BROS. 78,080 -- 2 2 TAYLOR SWIFT 1989 BIG MACHINE 67,267 -3% -- 3 OF MONSTERS & MEN BENEATH THE SKIN REPUBLIC 59,215 -- 1 4 FLORENCE + THE MACHINE HOW BIG HOW BLUE HOW BEAUTIFUL REPUBLIC 38,083 -72% Billboard Actual numbers Billboard 200 (Album Sales + TEAs + SEAs) 1 Muse Drones 84,000 2 Taylor Swift 1989 64,000 3 Of Monsters and Men Beneath the Skin 61,000 4 Florence + The Machine How Big How Blue How Beautiful 37,000 Yes, I've read some very colourful rants on other forums about the quality of their recent estimates - as you say, they're usually in the ballpark though. |
