MURPHY'S LAW

If you think about it... Nickelback could have gotten the #1 spot with that! 202K is a lot! A usual #1 debut ranges from 100K-200K so WOW!! I'm proud of them even tho they only got #6

I seriously did NOT think Outkast would sell that much.

John, Oukasts' is a double album, so they got double. They really only sold about 250,000

Beautiful Mistake

OMG those bitches >_<

How about Shania? I don't think UP's been determined yet.

Edit - Nevermind... I take that back. I just looked at allmusic.com and realized that they both individually released 2 different albums in one CD as a group.

"Both Speakerboxxx and The Love Below are among the best hip-hop and best pop music released this decade. Each is a knockout individually, and paired together, their force is undeniable"

I think that's hot.

I just thought it was interesting how a few weeks ago the big thing was Mary vs Hilary. Hilary is still, thugh just hanging on, in the top 10, Mary is #32.

ManSlippers

lmao. Hilary. Thats sad.

Shania has sold 9 million records worldwide, John of UP! according to the latest figures.

BeBritney

GO HILARY *\/* nah, don't go because your music sucks, but I still think she's a darling (?)

Um...yay for Outkast because they're odd, but they keep hip-hop fresh. It's gone too stale lately

*HighVoltage*

*wraps it in plastic and puts it in the fridge*

That should help.

cancrojc

So... its this the begining of the good sales period? (known as Christmast)...

Now im really worry... i hope Britney new album debut at #1, i want her to keep the female artist record.
