The Adele Appreciation Thread (Part 3)
5 of 24
From ask Billboard.
There are only nine albums that I could find that have topped both charts for a combined total of more than 30 weeks. (There are soundtracks with greater runs atop the Billboard 200 - i.e., "West Side Story" (54 weeks) - but failed to generate a Hot 100 leader):
47 total weeks
Michael Jackson, "Thriller"
Billboard 200: 37
Hot 100: 10, "Billie Jean" (seven), "Beat It" (three)
39 total weeks
Bee Gees, "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack
Billboard 200: 24
Hot 100: 15, "How Deep Is Your Love" (three), "Stayin' Alive" (four), "Night Fever" (eight)
37 total weeks (to date)
Adele, "21"
Billboard 200: 23
Hot 100: 14, "Rolling in the Deep" (seven), "Someone Like You" (five), "Set Fire to the Rain" (two)
37 total weeks
Usher, "Confessions"
Billboard 200: nine
Hot 100: 28, "Yeah!" (12), "Burn" (eight), "Confessions Pt. II" (two), "My Boo" (six)
34 total weeks
Whitney Houston, "The Bodyguard" soundtrack
Billboard 200: 20
Hot 100: 14, "I Will Always Love You"
32 total weeks
Mariah Carey, "Daydream"
Billboard 200: six
Hot 100: 26, "Fantasy" (eight), "One Sweet Day" (16), "Always Be My Baby" (two)
32 total weeks
Fleetwood Mac, "Rumours"
Billboard 200: 31
Hot 100: one, "Dreams"
31 total weeks
Prince, "Purple Rain" soundtrack
Billboard 200: 24
Hot 100: seven, "When Doves Cry" (five), "Let's Go Crazy" (two)
30 total weeks
The Black Eyed Peas, "The End"
Billboard 200: two
Hot 100: 28, "Boom Boom Pow" (12), "I Gotta Feeling" (14), "Imma Be" (two)
Yet another great angle that illustrates the stronghold that "21" has had on consumers and radio in its year-plus of release. This stat further shows that the set is clearly among the most dominant in the more than 53 years that the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 have co-existed.
On the list above, look for "21" to move out of a tie with Usher's "Confessions" this week, as it's likely to notch a 24th week atop the Billboard 200, fending off Bruce Springsteen's arrival with "Wrecking Ball."
The last statement above is this one guys opinion, but I really hope he's right.

HDD have posted early! - 54.98% in
#1 - 21 (89,009)
#2 - Bruce Springsteen (81,739)
#7 - 19 (16,000 exactly)
It's gonna be close between 21/The Boss this week, I think.

Everyone predicted that i think she might just get it by about 20k-25k
Who is her competition next week???
HDD do have a habit of under estimating her sales. If she does this, my God, it will be absolutely unbelievable (and I am speaking as someone who, along with Van Morrison, sees The Boss as my all time favourite artist over the years)

One direction, damn it!! The worst song I may have heard this year. Those tween girls are going to put up a fight!
What is it with you Americans? I saw earlier the 'even worse than Wand Erection' The Wanted are #2 on US iTunes singles chart . What's happening over there, shades??

It's awful, right? Don't forget Hammer time! Until Adele, we were well known for Gawd awful taste in music. You guys are always one step ahead. But when we do love something (21) we love them like crazy.
But lets not forget the Brits fiasco, Koney! Best song my arse! That's all on you guys! Lol.

Yeah those tweens will do it and as far as 1D or even BTR i think its a phase that will fade away hopefully..
Also I 2nd that yes we in America are know for some really bad music but it was great that 21 can along because thé music industry needed it
US iTunes

Those are the same fans that fill up TS's stadiums.
They are full of angst and hormones run amok. In no way is this a snapshot of American musical taste (over 16 anyway!)! I'm just stating the obvious for the record!
And the lead single sucks balls. It makes Jo Bros look like talent. And I'm still trying to feel clean after seeing those guys in concert a few years ago. Shudder...

Knew that was going to be close! Now it's up to next week and 1 freaking Direction. After that, it will be a while before a chance at 1 again (most likely).

Well, that is just mean. Getting pleasure out of my misfortune. You're lucky I'm so forgiving. :sleep:
By the way, you and me for next week's HDD - let's see who gets there first. Challenge accepted?

Deal but ill probably forget lol
I think 21 is now the 6th or 7th album with most weeks selling 100k +
Also, does anyone have Ushers Confessions week by week sales?
Been wondering for a while when it slowed down, as it managed to pass 8 million faster, but then seemingly must of slowed down very fast if 7 years later it is only now reaching 10 million.
Could this happen to Adele? I still think it's got legs, especially with RHI taking off on radio now.

Alanis Morissette, "Jagged Little Pill" - 64 (1995-1997)
Britney Spears, "...Baby One More Time" - 50 (1999-2000)
Creed, "Human Clay" - 49 (1999-2001)
Celine Dion, "Falling Into You" - 43 (1996-1997)
Shania Twain, "Come on Over" - 42 (1997-2000)
Hootie & the Blowfish, "Cracked Rear View" - 40 (1995-1996)
Usher did not have the ww sales of Adele. He was primarily in the US. 13.5 million total ww? 10 million in the US.
Adele is in a league of her own. Here is Itunes charts this week. Thanks to NS.

Quote:
“Springsteen's album sold 196K copies, just 1K more than Adele's 21, which has been in release for 55 weeks. That album dips to #2 following 23 (non-consecutive) weeks at #1. The album tops the 8 million mark in U.S. sales in its 55th week. It's the first album to reach the 8 million plateau since Usher's Confessions, which achieved the feat in its 42nd week in January 2005. Even though Confessions reached 8 million more quickly, the achievement of 21 is more remarkable, given today's diminished album market compared to 2004-2005. Will 21 reach 9 million? 10 million? It's certainly looking good. Stay tuned.”

First the boss and now a boy band? Especially a put together Simon Cowell band. Ugh... But the fact that 21 is still selling over 100k (and almost 200k) a week this far into the run is astounding! Dang. it had gotten down to 70k+ for a week or two. Lol at the consistency.
Interview with Adele's guitarist that's not Ben.
