According to Reuters, Linkin Park and Jay-Z's mash-up album 'Collision Course' could take over first spot on the Billboard album charts in its debut week. Reports from retailers have chart watchers predicting a total of 300,000-350,000 copies being sold in the first week of 'Collision Course''s distribution. It all depends on how big second-week sales of U2's 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' are. Their album sold over 840,000 copies last week. Results for the Billboard charts will be posted online on Thursday, December 9th, so check back for total sales! Source: Reuters
ouch, my predictions were wrong. haha, 840,000. man that is hecka lot. congrats Linkin park and Jay-z
Scary :| This is only a small album and this many copies are being sold.. Imagine next year (hopefully) with their real album!
That's cool. However, it doesn't sit right with me that it's considered an "album". It's seems like more of an extended single to me; Mike even said it was only supposed to be 2 tracks and a free style. I do help is sells a ton though so more projects like this can happen in the industry.
840.000 copies sold U2 last week... CC is expected to sell 300k-350k... I hope they debut at #1 and I hope they sold mora than 400k
Dont the billboard charts count UNITS of an album? there are two units of CDs on this album. That means either 100K-150K albums were sold or it really is 300K-350K albums and the units with be recordered as 600K-700K. This is how Outkast scored big in their double album.
Don't hurt me! I bought U2 for my dad and didn't buy Collision Course! I gotta say this, though--U2, IMHO, is one of the BEST bands around. After two decades, they're still rock-solid, so I think they're going to win this one.
Indeed I hope that CC sells more than 350k but U2.. u know.. is a monster, gonna be really hard to beat them.
