LIVING THINGS beat Overexposed on the Aussie iTunes charts, it didn't perform that well at all actually. Of course, it's a different story in another country, but best of luck to the American release!
Maroon 5 is the problem? THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS [THUMB]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4a/Looking4Myself.PNG[/THUMB] [THUMB]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/01/Believe-JB-Album.jpg[/THUMB] /butab*tchain't one
I'm glad someone else mentioned this. Everyone assumed Maroon 5's album would be a huge threat (including in Australia - see where the song 'Payphone' is located on the singles charts here - it's doing very well). It turned out to be a non-issue. As for the holdovers - Bieber's album is currently struggling to stay in the top 10 on iTunes Australia (and it is only in its second week). This *could* be attributed to the fact that his core fan-base are primarily not the kind of people who pay for music Usher isn't even in the top 50 on iTunes (Australia) as we speak. His album dropped from a debut of 3rd place to 7th place in the official Australian charts this week. Expect an even bigger drop next week. LP's biggest threat in Australia right now? The winner of The Voice - Karise Eden. She currently has EIGHT songs in the singles charts, so expect her album release this week to dethrone LIVING THINGS. I'm hopeful that the 4 day head-start will be enough for the boys to secure a #1 debut when the official charts are updated on Sunday.
