Still glad to see Bucky has a song on the charts in “I’ll Walk.” Okay, I’m living in the past, lol, but I do love country music and I do love Bucky.

soundscene, thanks for the clarification. Someone gave those figures on another forum.

Last week, #1 was Pink and she sold 180, 470, so David did great!!

Actually, last week’s #1 was Twilight with 165K. Pink was #2, like David, with 180K a couple weeks ago.

I had heard that Amazon wasn’t in the final HDD numbers, but I don’t know that for sure. Soundscan numbers are generally around the same as HDD.

Taylor is a crossover artist. Her song, “Love Story” has been a huge hit. Check out her music video of it on youtube. Not bad.

Wow, Taylor Swift sold a CRAZY number of albums.

blissful, she is a country (poppish) singer/songwriter who is big with the teen crowd. She also dated and got dumped by one of the Jonas brothers recently. The only song of hers that I heard on the radio (HAC/Top 40) was Tears on My Guitar which I actually found execrable, but I heard that the reviews for her new album are generally favorable. She’s been releasing a single a week from this new album and has gotten mass single downloads off that gimmick. She’s apparently built herself a head of steam that’s translated into full album sales. Wow!

Someone said that amazon is not part of HDD and that it should go up for Billboard’s numbers.

Last week, #1 was Pink and she sold 180, 470, so David did great!! Woohoo!

Yeah David! Quite okay with those numbers. Let’s see where they go from here. I am sure he is quite proud of himself.

Hey, I thought Archie would come in between 160-180K. Maybe I’m getting better at these predictive powers. HDD, call me! LOL.

Good show Archie. I’ll wait for the official numbers before running comparisons.

What soundscene said sounds very reasonable and logical, but I have to say this is starting to get nerve-wracking. However, the fact that Now 29 increased by only a little over 3000 since the last update is encouraging.
