15 will.i.am - Scream & Shout (feat. Britney Spears)

:party: If it's Top 10 before the video premiere, then I'd be very impressed. That means WITH the video premiere it could go Top 5. :giveup:

33 NICKI MINAJ CASH MONEY/REPUBLIC 16,051

34 BRITNEY SPEARS RCA 15,976

:lmao: Theres something "new" with britney" and Nicki barely sold more than an unknown album :lmao:

numbers arent final

It's not even an album that Britney OR her label knew about. It's one of those Playlist albums that you find at retail stores such as Best Buy and Wal Mart. Rarely sold digitally.

This is the cover:

It sold more than her two remix albums. :rip:

Look at this. Very interesting list that I found (It's a bit outdated since it's from August 2012, but it really is good for discussion purposes):

Album vs. Track Sales in the Past 18 Months (February 2011-August 2012).

1. Adele 33.5% (11.1M albums, 22.2M tracks)

2. Lady Antebellum 27.5% (2.9M albums, 7.5M tracks)

3. Justin Bieber 26.2% (4.3M albums, 12.2M tracks)

4. Jason Aldean 21.4% (2.4M albums, 9.0M tracks)

5. Zac Brown Band 20.4% (2.0M albums, 8.0M tracks)

6. Coldplay 18.1% (1.9M albums, 8.5M tracks)

7. Luke Bryan 18.1% (1.8M albums, 8.0M tracks)

8. Lady Gaga 17.0% (3.1M albums, 15.1M tracks)

9. Lil Wayne 16.0% (3.1M albums, 16.2M tracks)

10. Taylor Swift 15.0% (2.3M albums, 13.2M tracks)

11. Drake 13.9% (2.3M albums, 14.2M tracks)

12. Eminem 12.9% (2.0M albums, 13.5M tracks)

13. Glee Cast 10.9% (2.4M albums, 19.4M tracks)

14. Britney Spears 10.0% (1.0M albums, 8.8M tracks)

15. Nicki Minaj 9.6% (1.5M albums, 15.0M tracks)

16. Maroon 5 9.5% (1.5M albums, 14.0M tracks)

17. Rihanna 9.0% (2.1M albums, 21.1M tracks)

18. Chris Brown 8.6% (1.2M albums, 13.0M tracks)

19. Bruno Mars 8.5% (1.3M albums, 13.5M tracks)

20. Usher 8.2% (0.8M albums, 8.7M tracks)

21. Katy Perry 6.6% (1.6M albums, 22.5M tracks)

22. LMFAO 5.9% (1.0M albums, 15.9M tracks)

23. David Guetta 4.7% (0.4M albums, 9.2M tracks)

24. Pitbull 4.4% (0.6M albums, 13.3M tracks)

25. Flo Rida 1.1% (0.1M albums, 11.0M tracks)

I'm no sure what the percentage next to each name is. I'm assuming it's the percentage that albums comprise of each artists respective records sales.

Gaga is at a convenient position having a slight edge with her albums.

Here's where I got it from: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=260780

I think it MUST come down to better marketing at the retail level, or discounts, etc.

Rihanna dropped from 163k to 99k debut in the UK, almost 40%.

Maybe her team learned something from Taylor and Gaga's opening success, and their past opening failures. Rihanna is typically a steady seller in albums, just not that good at debuting high.

:eek: With this new album? 40%? Good grief! :deadbanana:

Nobody's Business will become one of Rihanna's greatest hits and create a lot of cultural impact.

Did you get hacked? MESS.

It's definitely a strong card from her album. Think about the headlines it will create.

None. No one is surprised they're back together. They didn't give two ****s when BC came out and they won't when NB does. Simple. :teehee:

Nobody knew about BC. No video or formal pop release. A lot of people still don't know they're "back together."
