Oldbloke's Year-to-date top selling albums - USA - Hypothetical Billboard Year End

[Wayne]

SOUNDSCAN DECADE TO DATE WEEK 500

Yes, last week was in fact the 500th week of the new decade/century/millennium (or the noughties!), so to celebrate here's my take on Soundscan's top 100 sellers across those 500 weeks. Bear in mind it's not an official list, and is based purely on leaked soundscan current and catalog sales numbers and those chartswatch extra colomns by Paul Grein.

WEEK 30


albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 7 / last year - 5
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 24 / last year - 32
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 70 / last year - 95

This Week Not much happening with no changes to the order of the top 10, although Michael Jackson's Number Ones is now poised to jump to #2 on next week's list. As forecast last week, Nickelback's Dark HorseDangerous enters at #97 this week to give him 6 albums on the list in total.

New at #1on the BB200 was Demi Lovato with Here We Go Again with sales of 108,436.

Next Week Fabolous with Loso's Way is expected to debut at #1 on next week's BB200, with sales of around 100,000. Looks like it will be another fairly quiet on this list, with no new albums expected to break into the top 100. In week 31 last year, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III

becomes the 7th album to sell over a million this year, and the third to have also sold over a million in 2008. Also as predicted, Michael Jackson's 1991 album became 2008's first album to sell over 2 million copies. Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog. If the sales number is in italics, it is an estimate.

[Aaliyahfan]

Sales are so low this year. I think Taylor Swift are Michael Jackson will have the number one album this year.

[Wayne]

We've still got Mariah and Madonna who are both releasing in the fall :) + Beyonce is re-releasing isn't she?

*EDIT - Taylor is re-releasing lol. She'll almost certainly be number one if she re-releases in Christmas

WEEK 31

This Week Michael Jackson moves up to the #2 slot this week with Number Ones, as expected. Kings Of Leon move up to #14 with their 2008 album Only By The Night, their highest placing so far on this list. The album is currently outselling many 2009 releases. There are a total of 39 current year releases on this week's list, unchanged from last week.

Next Week Yet another quiet week with Sugarland's Live On The Inside forecast to be the biggest selling debut on next week's BB200 with sales of around 85,000. Wilco's Wilco (The Album) is the closest new album to breaking into this list, this week at #105 with sales of 180,919.

Again thanks to oldbloke!

[Nichu94]

I want Lady Gaga number one this year :D

[Wayne]

:lol: I think she'll be top 3 but not number one. Jackson will probably be number one by the end of the year, with over 2m over the counter sales

[HeatSeeker]

I don't think she'll be top 3, maybe top 5.

[Wayne]

As usual, thanks to oldbloke for ALL of this:

"As usual, I'll update this if and when the Soundscan numbers leak, but for now here's the list with rounded sales estimates.[/i]

WEEK 32

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 7 / last year - 6
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 27 / last year - 37
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 74 / last year - 100

This Week Not much change - Michael Jackson's Thriller joins Number Ones in the top 10, whilst The Essential moves up another slot to #15. Wilco's Wilco (The Album) is the only new album on the list at #100, taking the number of 2009 albums in the top 100 up to 40 - the balance made up of of 1 2006 release, 4 from 2007, 44 from 2008 and 11 catalog.

Bubbling under the top 100 that could enter this list in the next couple of weeks are the Jackson 5's Ultimate Collection #109 on sales of 177,000 and Demi Lovato's recent BB200 #1 Here We Go Again #110 on sales of 176,000.

Next Week George Strait's new album Twang will debut at #1 on the BB200 with sales estimated to be around 150,000, not enough to instantly enter this list, but I would expect to see it in there from week 34.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

[HeatSeeker]

Such a sad list compared to a decade ago.

[Wayne]

As always, all credit goes to oldbloke

As usual, I'll update this if and when the Soundscan numbers leak, but for now here's the list with rounded sales estimates.

WEEK 33

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 7 / last year - 6
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 31 / last year - 39
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 75 / last year - 100

This Week Looks like it's Taylor Swifts last week at the top, at least in the short term, as Michael Jackson's Number Ones collection looks certain to overtake sales of Fearless next week. Jackson's Thriller moves up another place to #9, whilst the Black Eyed Peas move up to #11 with The E.N.D., and should make it into the top 10 next week. At the end of the list, Demi Lovato's Here We Go Again is the only debut at #100.

Next Week Reba McEntire's new album Keep On Loving You is expected to debut at #1 on the BB200 with sales of around 100,000. That makes it 5 weeks in a row where a new album at the top of the BB200 fails to sell enough to debut on this list - the last album to do that was Daughtry's Leave This Town 6 weeks ago. I would expect to see George Strait make it onto this list next week with Twang after 2 weeks on release.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

[Wayne]

Again, thanks to oldbloke

As usual, I'll update this if and when the Soundscan numbers leak, but for now here's the list with rounded sales estimates.

WEEK 34

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 7 / last year - 8
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 32 / last year - 40
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 77 / last year - 103

This Week As expected, Michael Jackson's Number Ones moves up to the top of this list. Two albums that have been on the list all year also reach new peaks, Kings Of Leon with Only By The Night at #13 and Zac Brown Band with The Foundation moving up to #20. George Strait's Twang at #96 is the only new album joining the list, increasing the number of 2009 releases in the top 100 to 41.

Next Week More of the same - another low selling debut expected at the top of the BB200, this time it's Colbie Caillat with Breakthrough, with sales forecast at around 100,000.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

As always, thankyou very much to Oldbloke for the figures!

No leak so far for actual numbers, so it's back to estimates for now

WEEK 35

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 8 / last year - 8
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 32 / last year - 40
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 81 / last year - 106

This Week Michael Jackson's Thriller becomes the 8th album to sell more than a million copies since the beginning of the year, and moves up 1 place to #8 on this list. The Black Eyed Peas should join the million sellers next week, with Kings Of Leon getting there in a couple of week's time, and U2 finally making it by the end of September. So by the end of the third quarter, there will be 11 million sellers - at the same point last year there were 13.

Billboard are reporting YTD sales down 15% on last year. The stats above show that the number of 500,000+ selling albums have dropped 20%, with 250,000+ selling albums down 22%, or 30% if you exclude the 6 Michael Jackson albums in this year's total. Thriving in this backdrop are the catalog GH collections from Abba, Journey, Bob Marley, Guns N'Roses, Creedence Clearwater Revival which up to a couple of year's ago would not have made it into the top 100 YTD albums list.

Next Week With 8 of the bottom 15 albums (excluding catalog titles) on this list no longer charting on the BB200, we should start to see some change over the coming 4 weeks thru to the end of the third quarter. Obviously, this depends on how well the new releases perform, as I doubt many of the August releases will ever make it on to the list, including a couple of albums that were BB200 #1's. Expect to see Whitney Houston's new album Look To You and the Time Of Our Lives EP from Miley Cyrus join the list next week, with an outside chance of another MJ related catalog title Jackson 5 Ultimate Collection also getting there.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

Massive thank you to oldbloke as usual!

No leak so far for actual numbers, so it's estimates again! :cry:

WEEK 36

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 9 / last year - 9
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 32 / last year - 41
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 85 / last year - 110

As expected Black Eyed Peas claim the 9th million selling album of the year with The E.N.D. and move up 2 spots on this list to #8. Also up 2 places this week are Kings Of Leon's 2008 released album Only By The Night, which looks likely to pass the million mark itself next week, and move into the top 10 at the expense of U2.

Whitney Houston debuts at #1 with I Look To You on the BB200 this week with sales of 304,801, and debuts on this list at #67. The limited Soundscan info I've seen has her RTD sales at 310,903, suggesting SDV sales of over 6,000, which would have been plenty for it to chart at around #85 on last week's BB200! Clearly something wrong, but for now I've used that RTD number for this list. The Time Of Our Lives EP from Miley Cyrus is also new to this list at #100.

Next week, Jay-Z will debut at #1 on the BB200 with The Blueprint 3, expected to sell between 300,000 and 350,000, enough to debut within the top 75 of this list. It will be the 11th week in a row a new album has debuted at #1, and coincidentally Jay-Z's 11th #1 album.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

[HeatSeeker]

All sales are estimated - I'll update with actual sales if the numbers leak

WEEK 38

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 11 / last year - 9
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 36 / last year - 44
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 90 / last year - 113

The Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D. moves up 1 place to #7 ahead of the Twilight soundtrack, the only movement in the top 10 this week. Elsewhere, big climbs for Jay-Z, Whitney Houston and Miley Cyrus on this list - The Blueprint 3 #1 on the BB200 for a second week moves 37-18, whilst I Look To You 50-33 and the Times Of Our Lives EP 65-50. Loso's Way the soundtrack album from Fabolous is the only new album on this list this week at #96. And at last U2's No Line On The Horizon finally crawls over the million mark, making it the 11th of year so far, but only the 4th 2009 release to get there.

Last week, I thought the Beatles' Abbey Road had a shot at a top 100 place on the YTD chart, but at 50,000 it's sales were well down on the HDD estimate, and it only makes #108 on the list. Maybe next week. I've included a "bubbling under" section this week that lists with sales over 200,000 that have not appeared in the top 100.

Next week, Pearl Jam's Backspacer will be highest debut on the BB200 - possibly at #1 with an early sales estimate of around the 200,000 mark. Be interesting to see if that improves when updated forecasts come out later today - for some reason, I thought it would be much higher.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

Thanks for the update, Wayne. I wonder where Mariah will land...

[stevyy]

Thanks for the update, Wayne. I wonder where Mariah will land...

wasn't she #19 2008 with 1.221.000? I guess she'll make the top 15.. hopefully she sells 1m in the end.


btw i love the fact that michael has the #1 selling album of the year!-well deserved once again

[Wayne]

Thanks OLDBLOKE!

WEEK 39

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 11 / last year - 11
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 36 / last year - 46
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 91 / last year - 114

Jay-Z moves 18-15 this week, and should make it to #12 next week with sales 20,000 or so shy of the million; Another good week for Whitney up 33-27, likewise for Miley up 50-40. I was a week out, but Abbey Road the USA's favorite Beatles album joins the YTD list this week at #95. 2nd favorite (Sgt Pepper) has sold around 170,000 so far this year, probably enough for a top 150 place on the YTD chart.

New at #1 on the BB200 this week is Pearl Jam with their new album Backspacer selling 189,292, not enough to join the YTD top 100 this week, but we'll definitely see it on next week's list.

Only 6 breakers this week, and a couple of those are getting cold now and unlikely to ever break into the top 100. It also looks like none of the high profile week 40 releases will sell enough in their first week to debut on this list - if you'd asked me 3 months ago, I'd have said at least 3 of them would have - leave it to you to guess the ones I mean.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog. If the sales number is in italics, it is an estimate.

Thanks oldbloke for this!

I'll update this if the actual numbers leak, but for now here's a version using estimates and rounded sales numbers.

WEEK 41

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 12 / last year - 12
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 39 / last year - 48
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 100 / last year - 121

Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 passes the million sales, the 12th album this year and the 5th 2009 release to achieve this. Rascal Flatts will join the million sellers next week and Beyonce the week after. Jay-Z also moves up one place on the YTD chart to #11, but with Halloween coming up l think he'll have to wait a couple of weeks to get past Thriller and into the top 10. Also climbing on the YTD list are Whitney Houston up to #23 from #25 last week, and Miley Cyrus up 3 notches to #33. Pearl Jam's Backspacer is the greatest gainer moving #96 to #80. Barbra Streisand's Love Is The Answer is the only new album on the YTD top 100 this week at #95. All the albums in the top 100 have now sold over 250,000.

Michael Buble debuts at #1 on the BB200 this week with Crazy Love, which was released 4 days earlier than originally scheduled to tie in with an appearance on Oprah Winfrey's show and managed to sell 131,539 units in 3 days. A similar sales number this week would ensure he debuts on the week 42 YTD list. I would also expect to see Mariah Carey's Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel on the list next week.

Last year's #100 best selling album was Janet Jackson's Discipline which sold 427,000. Based on the current year-on-year sales decline of around 15%, 350,000-360,000 could be enough for the #100 slot on 2009's Year-End chart.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

WEEK 43

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 14 / last year - 13
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 41 / last year - 55
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 105 / last year - 126

This week, Michael Jackson's Number Ones becomes the first album of the year to pass the 2 million mark and Beyonce's I Am…Sasha Fierce becomes the 14th album to sell a million this year. Michael's The Essential looks set to become the 15th (and his 3rd) million seller of the year next week.

Taylor Swift's Fearless should also pass the 2 million mark next week, as sales will get a boost from the newly released platinum edition.

On the move in the top half of this week's list… Jay-Z up 1 to #9 with The Blueprint 3, the Zac Brown Band reach a new peak of #16 with The Foundation, and Miley Cyrus' Time Of Our Lives EP moves up 1 place to #29. Michael Buble has the greatest gainer moving into the top 50 at #49, a jump of 19 places. The only new album on the list this week is the current BB200 #1 album The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack at #95.

Michael Jackson's This Is It will grab the #1 slot on next week's BB200 with sales currently forecast at between 300,000 and 350,000, and easily debut on this list, possibly within the top 75. Not quite making it this week, current #102 Paramore's Brand New Eyes will also make it onto the top 100 next week.

WEEK 44

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 15 / last year - 16
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 43 / last year - 56
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 106 / last year - 130

Taylor Swift's Fearless becomes the second album to pass through the 2 million sales mark this year, and falls just 4,000 units short of re-taking the #1 slot on the YTD chart. Fearless also sold over 2 million units in 2008, one of only four albums to achieve this, and all four of those albums are still in this year's top 100. As far as I can tell, the last album that sold more than 2 million units 2 years running was OutKasts Speakerboxxx/The Love Below back in 2003/4.

Making headway in the top half of this week's list we have Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 up another place to #8, Miley Cyrus' Time Of Our Lives EP up 1 to #28 and Michael Buble's Crazy Love up 9 places and into the top 40. Biggest gainer is the New Moon soundtrack which jumps 95 - 71.

Michael Jackson's This Is It is the new BB200 #1, and enters this list at #64, taking his total number of albums on the top 100 to 7. It's widely expected to sell over a million units by the end of the year, joining Number Ones, Thriller and The Essential. Paramore's Brand New Eyes is the second new album on this week's list at #98.

Next week Carrie Underwood's 3rd album Play On will debut at #1 on the BB200 on sales currently estimated at 300-350,000, which would easily be enough to get into the top 80 on this list.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog. If the sales number is in italics, it is an estimate.

WEEK 45

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 15 / last year - 17
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 44 / last year - 58
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 111 / last year - 131

Taylor Swift's Fearless returns to the top of the YTD chart. It was the YTD top seller for the first 33 weeks of the year, until overtaken by Michael Jackson's Number Ones back in August.

In the top half of this week's list… Jay-Z's The Blueprint moves up another place to #7, Miley Cyrus' EP Time Of Our Lives moves up 2 to #26, and Michael Buble's Crazy Love moves up 4 to #36. Jumping 30 places to #34, who else but Michael Jackson with This Is It.

New at #1 on the BB200 this week is Carrie Underwood with Play On, which sold 317,695, enough to be the one and only debut on this list at #79. The second highest debut on the BB200 this week is Andrea Bocelli's holiday album My Christmas which will join this list next week, and is currently forecast to climb to the #1 place on the BB200.

Knocking on the door… former BB200 chart topper Reba's Keep On Loving You is the unlucky #101 on this week's list, just a couple of hundred sales behind Charlie Wilson. If she sells above 7,000 next week, she'll get a week inside the YTD top 100. Albums from Breaking Benjamin [(Dear Agony)] #106 on sales of 258,000 and Owl City [(Ocean Eyes)] #114 on sales of 240,000 should also make the list in the next couple of weeks or so.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 44 / last year - 61
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 114 / last year - 137

No change in the top 10 this week, though Michael Jackson's Thriller may get back in next week at the expense of the Twilight soundtrack. Speaking of MJ, The Essential climbs to a new peak of #12 and This Is It moves up 4 places to #30. Also moving up in the top half of the list...Miley Cyrus Time Of Our Lives EP 26-23, Michael Buble's Crazy Love 36-33, and the 83 week old self-titled album from Lady Antebellum moves to a new peak of 34 from 38 last week after selling a huge 45,000 units following success at the CMA's.

Settling just outside of the top 50 are Carrie Underwood's Play On (51 up from 79 last week, the week's biggest climber) and the New Moon soundtrack (52 up from 63 last week). Checking in at #84 is Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas, the highest new album on this week's list. Also new at #99 is Reba's former BB200 #1 Keep On Loving You.

Just outside the top 100 this week are Breaking Benjamin with Dear Agony (#102 273,000 sales), Owl City's Ocean Eyes (#106 271,000 sales) and Tim McGraw's Southern Voice (#107 270,000 sales).

Also looking for a place on next week's YTD top 100 is John Mayer's Battle Studies, expected to top the BB200 with sales of around 300,000.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.

No sales leak yet so here's the rounded/estimated sales version…

WEEK 47

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 16 / last year - 18
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 46 / last year - 61
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 115 / last year - 144

This week… Zac Brown Band's The Foundation becomes the 16th album to sell a million this year and should overtake U2 and Rascal Flatts next week; Beyonce's I Am…Sasha Fierce rebounds another place and is now back up to #13; Other climbers in the top half of the list are Michael Jackson's This Is It 30-21, Miley Cyrus' Time Of Our Lives EP 23-22, Michael Buble's Crazy Love 33-32, and Lady Antebellum's Lady Antebellum 35-33; Moving into the top 50 are the Twilight Saga New Moon soundtrack 52-41 and Carrie Underwood's Play On 51-42; Biggest climb of the week goes to Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas moving 98-51.

Two new albums on the list… Tim McGraw's Southern Voice at #92 and Owl City's Ocean Eyes at #95. This week's new #1 on the BB200, John Mayer's Battle Studies sold 286,000 and has to settle for #103, but will be top 75 next week. At #102 is Breaking Benjamin's Dear Agony on sales of 287,000, so this should just make it onto next week's list.

Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream will debut at #1 on the BB200 next week, and forecasts suggest she could beat Eminem's Relapse opening week's sales of 608,000 - certainly enough for a top 40 debut on the YTD list.

Key: Albums in blue are 2009 releases, albums in green are catalog.
