Xscape chart positions. (incl. singles)

YOUR TOP 15: Coldplay and Brantley Gilbert appears set to log a second week in the top two spots, while a couple of debuts land in the Top 5. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Coldplay (Parlophone) 75-85k
Brantley Gilbert (Valory) 60-65k
*Mariah Carey (Def Jam) 55-60k
Frozen (Walt Disney) 50-55k
*Austin Mahone (Chase/Republic) 42-47k
Now 50 (NOW) 35-40k
Michael Jackson (Epic) 30-35k
The Black Keys (Nonesuch/Warner Bros.) 28-32k
*Crowder (sixstepsrecords) 21-24k
Iggy Azalea (Grand Hustle/Def Jam) 17-19k
Rascal Flatts (Big Machine) 17-19k
*Cher Lloyd (Epic) 16-18k
*Neil Young (Reprise) 14-16k
OneRepublic (Interscope) 13-15k
*Royksopp & Robyn (Cherrytree/Interscope) 13-15k
Phillip Phillips (19/Interscope) 13-15k
Florida Georgia Line (Republic Nashville) 13-15k

Yikes! Album sales are really awful these days. Can't believe that the top projection is less than 90K. And what is up with Frozen? Can't believe that it's still doing that well. Not only in the US but worldwide. Really horrible numbers for Mariah for week 1. Seems like this would have been a great week to release Xscape in retrospect. Could have been number 1. Oh well, can't look back now. Hoping Michael grabs the 5th spot when the final numbers are in.
 
^ I guess we have another Top 10 in the lock, since Mariah Carey and Austin Mahone will drop a lot next week, plus the only relevant new album release is Madonna (well, it's supposed to be a surprise, but everybody already knows).
 
If I go with what my head is telling me, I, for some reason, believe that this IS the duet album that was rumoured in 2012, why do I think that? I believe each single that will be released will feature a duet (Much like Justin Timberlake's collaboration). However, I could be wrong, I am speculating, remember I know nothing, but last time I said, "I know nothing," I was coincidentally right;)

IF you're right, I fear who might be chosen for STTR :ermm:
 
^ So what? Let's be honest: duet versions will help the sales and make the news, so that's okay. But they need to make good choices... No Bieber, please.


Love Never Felt So Good feat. Justin Timberlake
Xscape feat. Tupac

And... what about?
A Place With No Name feat. America
Blue Gangsta feat. Jay-Z & Timbaland
Slave To The Rhythm feat. Beyoncé
 
DISCLOSURE – Latch f/Sam Smith: 42.280 (+ 1.136)
M. JACKSON & J. TIMBERLAKE – Love Never Felt So Good: 41.548 (+ 1.334)
SAM SMITH – Stay With Me: 38.450 (+ 0.795)
 
Michael Jackson's dominating presence on the entertainment industry is being proven, with this latest release.. his art is endless! there is still pure love flowing for Michael throughout the planet.. i wish he was here to see all the love for him.. he'd be so proud right now! true legend never dies. Looking to the future :heart: hoping it stays in the top five for another week in both America & the UK.

Tupac Ok, others NO. Maybe Jaz-Z but on different song, maybe DYKWYCA like that bootleg.

Yass, great update! Keep requesting!
 
Will do!!! I requested it on one hundred top 40 stations this morning
 
Just requested LNFSG on another 75 top 40 stations in the US.

Just did my MJ fangirl duty while eating breakfast and streaming Xscape album on Spotify. Requested LNFSG in 60 stations and also added "Slave to the Rhythm" in radio request. And also voted LNFSG multiple times on Today.com's "Song of Summer." :cheeky:

9 Love Never Felt So Good - Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake
MJJ / Epic - 186.000
 
^ plus the only relevant new album release is Madonna (well, it's supposed to be a surprise, but everybody already knows).[/QUOTE)

Well I must be in the minority 'cause I had no clue she had an album coming out. Will be interesting to see how well she does given the low sales Mariah is experiencing.
 
Michael Jackson's dominating presence on the entertainment industry is being proven, with this latest release.. his art is endless! there is still pure love flowing for Michael throughout the planet.. i wish he was here to see all the love for him.. he'd be so proud right now! true legend never dies. Looking to the future :heart: hoping it stays in the top five for another week in both America & the UK.

^I always love your enthusiasm. I wish you were able to witness the reality of the 80s when Michael took over the tv to showcase his videos. You would have really enjoyed the excitement and being a part of all that.

Cold is really killing the competition. How long has this group been performing? Can someone tell me why their sales are so much higher than other artists. Is it that they are very good and have more fans?

Coldplay's first week sales were front-loaded, they had three months of pre-orders and three singles released. Now that those pre-orders are gone, they will have a big drop the second week.

But i'm sure they will have good sales overall when everything is said and done. A lot of people like them.
