Xscape - Chartsposition

Zitat von paradox1201

Man muss auch sehen,es ist ein Posthumes Album,und für ein solches verkauft es sich Super!!

Ich denke auch, dass man es als wirklich gut bezeichnen kann (immer die heutigen Verkaufszahlen zu Grunde legend)

Zum Vergleich zum Xscpape Debut auf 2 in den USA mit 157000 Alben:

Pharells Album hatte ebenfalls ein Debut auf 2 mit nur 113000 Alben. In der 2. Woche fiel es auf 40 mit 45000 Verkäufen. In der UK hatte es ein Debut auf 1 mit 70000 Album, während Xscape bei seinem 1er-Debut in den UK mehr Alben verkaufte.

Number Ones ist übrigens auf 28 in den BB 200. Bin sicher auch Thriller und Essential werden noch vertreten sein. Vollstänidge BB wird aber Morgen erst bekanntgegeben.

Zitat von paradox1201

Hab ich richtig gelesen,das von Number Ones schon über 5mio Stück Verlauft wurden?

Ja das wurde vor einigen Wochen bekanntgegeben und bezieht sich rein auf die USA.

Xscape ist auch in Österreich und der Schweiz auf 2. Kollegah im deutschsprachigen Raum auf 1.

So weit ich das verstehe, soll da i-was mit Zählung nicht stimmen.....Vielleicht kann mal eine Englischfee eine kurze Zusammenfassung eistellen. .

Dear Billboard,

We, the Michael Jackson fan base, are appalled that his album, Xscape has debuted on your top 200 album chart at number two. We have learned through a Yahoo News article, that at first it looked like Xscape would beat The Black Keys for the number one position, however "Nielsen SoundScan and Billboard didn't count nearly 9K copies of CDs that were given away with the purchase of a ticket or T-shirt at Jackson's Cirque Du Soleil show in Las Vegas. (Chart policy is that consumers have to actively choose to buy an album. They can't just get it with bundled with something else.)"

Yet, in 2012, Billboard wrote that Madonna had the number one album on the Billboard 200. "But many of Madonna's sales came through a bundle option, in which fans who purchased tickets for her upcoming tour received a code that could be redeemed for either a physical CD or a digital download of the album." Whether Madonna's CD was worked into the ticket price of a concert is not relevant, as the marketing of the concert billed her CD as "free". As stated above, both Michael and Madonna's fans who received a CD along with the purchase of a concert/Cirque show, did not "actively choose to buy an album", but Madonna's counted for the charts and Michael's did not.

Mr. Jackson's fans are keenly aware that it was his "performance" brought in the largest viewing audience in the past 13 years. Millions of fans tuned into your broadcast because we trusted Billboard would provide the respect Michael Jackson so richly deserves. We respectfully request you continue that respect by treating all artists in the same manner when counting sales for your charts. Do what is fundamentally right; make Michael Jackson number one on the Billboard 200.

Offensichtlich hat Billboard 9000 Alben nicht mitgezählt, die im MJ-One-Shop ein Käufer erhielt wenn er einen 20 Dollar -Einlauf tättigte z.B. T-Shirt oder sonstiges kaufte, da Billboard sagt, sie zählen Bundle-Käufe.
Auf der anderen Seite hatte z.B. Madonna bei ihrem letzten Album, Käufer von Show-Tickets ihr Album als Download mitegeben. Das wurde gezählt und verhalf ihr zur Nummer 1 und in der 2. Woche zum höchsten Sturz in den Charts

Und noch was sehr erfreuliches LNSG ist in den USA in die Top 10 eingestiegen. Damit ist MJ der einzige Künstler der in 5 Jahrzehnten in jeder Dekade Top-Hits hatte. Es ist MJs 29. Top Ten-Hit in den USA.

The King of Pop makes history as the only artist with top 10 Hot 100 hits in each of five decades. Meanwhile, Legend's 'All of Me' leads for a third week, Coldplay lands its third top 10 and Iggy Azalea tops Streaming Songs
John Legend's "All of Me" rules the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week with "All of Me," while Michael Jackson rewrites a pair of vaunted Hot 100 records, as "Love Never Felt So Good," with Justin Timberlake, blasts 22-9. Plus, Coldplay soars into the top 10 with "A Sky Full of Stars" and Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" flies to No. 1 on Streaming Songs and pushes 3-2 on the Hot 100.

With so many moves on the Hot 100 and more, let's dig into our weekly rundown of the numbers behind the charts, starting with the late King of Pop.

As "Good" rockets into the top 10, as parent album "Xscape" launches at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the song's ascent makes history on the Hot 100: with the advance, Jackson becomes the first artist to notch a top 10 Hot 100 hit in each of five decades. Dating to his first top 10, the No. 4-peaking "Got to Be There," in 1971, he's now reached the top 10 with songs in the '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s. (His breakdown of top 10s in those decades, respectively: four, 17, six, one, one. "Good" is Jackson's first top 10 since he died in 2009.)

Jackson passes five artists that have tallied Hot 100 top 10s in each of four decades: Barbra Streisand, Cher (both '60s-'90s), Aerosmith ('70s-'00s), Madonna and Whitney Houston (both '80s-'10s). (Houston joined the elite club posthumously and, unlike Streisand, Cher, Aerosmith and Madonna, did so by returning to the top 10 with a song that had previously reached the region: her 1992-93 14-week No. 1 "I Will Always Love You" returned and rose to No. 3 following her passing in 2012.)

Jackson topples another notable mark: he extends his span of appearing in the Hot 100's top 10 to a record-breaking 42 weeks, six months and one week. "Got to Be There" began his top 10 history when it lifted 13-9 on the Nov. 20, 1971, chart; this week's chart is dated May 31. He passes Santana, whose top 10 discography spans 33 years and eight months, from 1970's "Evil Ways" to 2003's "Why Don't You & I." Cher ranks third with a 33-year, one-month, three-week top 10 span (1966-99).

"Good" is Jackson's 29th Hot 100 top 10, granting him sole possession of the third-most top 10s in the chart's 55-year history. (The sign, as always, that Jackson and the Hot 100 were meant to be together: both arrived the same month, August 1958. The Hot 100 launched on Aug. 4 that year, while Jackson was born 25 days later.) He passes Stevie Wonder (28 top 10s), with whom he'd been tied since Jackson scored his last top 10, the No. 10-peaking "You rock my world," in 2001. Madonna leads all acts with 38 top 10s, while the Beatles rank second with 34. Following Jackson and Wonder are Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson and Elton John, each with 27. (Jackson danced to another 10 top 10s with the Jackson 5/Jacksons in 1970-84.)

How does "Good" reach to the Hot 100's top 10? It gains by 9 percent to 110,000 downloads sold (despite slipping 6-7 on the Digital Songs chart) in the Nielsen SoundScan tracking week ending on May 18, the same night that the much-buzzed-about virtual Jackson took to the stage on the Billboard Music Awards (for a performance of fellow "Xscape" track "Slave to the Rhythm"). With the video for "Good" having premiered on May 14, the song re-enters the Streaming Songs chart at No. 9 with a 299 percent surge to 4.6 million U.S. streams, according to Nielsen BDS, good for top Streaming Gainer honors on the Hot 100. Fifty-nine percent of its streaming points are from Vevo on YouTube views. "Good" debuts on the subscription services-based On Demand Songs chart at No. 20 with 1.2 million on-demand streams (up from 2,000 the week before). It concurrently re-enters Radio Songs at No. 44, up by 37 percent to 30 million audience impressions, according to BDS. It had charted at No. 38 two weeks ago (with 34 million), aided by promotional play on May 2 by Clear Channel Media and Entertainment-owned stations across multiple formats.

In addition to Jackson's honors, Timberlake, of course, adds to his rising Hot 100 legacy, as "Good" marks his 16th top 10 (in addition to six as part of 'N Sync). He also becomes the fourth artist to duet with Jackson on a top 10: Jackson and Paul McCartney reached No. 2 in 1983 with "The girl is mine" and spent six weeks on top in 1983-84 with "Say Say Say"; the Siedah Garrett-assisted "I just can't stop loving you" crowned the Sept. 19, 1987, Hot 100; and, Michael and Janet Jackson teamed for the No. 5 family affair "Scream" in 1995. (Fun fact, via Billboard 200 chart manager Keith Caulfield: Timberlake is the only artist to have shared Hot 100 artist credit with both Jackson and Madonna, aka, the respective King and Queen of Pop. Madonna's "4 Minutes," featuring Timberlake and Timbaland, hit No. 3 in 2008.)

A third star male artist adds acclaim with the jump of "Good": Jackson co-wrote the song with Paul Anka, who scored 10 Hot 100 top 10s as an artist in 1959-76. Two of his songs hit No. 1: "Lonely Boy" (1959) and "(You're) Having My Baby" (1974). The pair wrote "Good" in 1983 (and Johnny Mathis released a version in 1984).

Und was passiert da jetzt,wenn 9000 Verkäufe nicht mitgezählt wurde?

Ich denke Billboard wird das schon mit einer offiziellen Regelung begründen können. Denke man sollte es abhaken und aktzeptieren, dass MJ in den USA ein Nummer 2-Debut hatte.

Hier ürbrigens das komplette Estate-Statemtent und insbesondere der lezte Satz lässt "Wir haben nur gestartet" lässt hoffentlich auf weitere gute Promotion hoffen.

From MJEstate -
"By now, we know that many of you have seen all of the charts around the world. We are so proud of the way that the MJ fan community has rallied to support Michael and his legacy by buying Xscape. The events that you organized were outstanding, and the posts, tweets, Instagrams, blogs, and other messages encouraging friends and family to buy, along with your purchases of multiple copies of the album were instrumental in selling as many units as we did.

While we were disappointed that the record fell just short of claiming Michael's 7th #1 on the Billboard chart, the album is number one in many territories and is the #1 album in overall worldwide sales, a feat we are extremely proud of.

It's a new world out there, and the fact that Xscape remains #1 on Spotify and Rhapsody and that the "Love Never Felt So Good" video is #1 on iTunes and in the Top 20 at YouTube cannot be ignored. The world has rallied again behind Michael's music, and we, as a community, should be proud of the album's performance this week. We’re only just getting started!"

Also wenn man sich jetzt schon über die mangelnde Promo beschwert, dann jammern wir auf hohem Niveau. Das Album ist weltweit in den Schlagzeilen (sogar in Nachrichtensendungen in Deutschland) und ich finde es durchaus richtig eine federführende Promo aus Aktionen aus den USA heraus zu starten. Ich warte ab wie es weiter geht.

LNSG ist übrigens Platz 9 in den USA-Singlecharts, habe ich vorhin nicht erwähnt.

Michael Jackson has set 2 new records in American chart history!!!
