thebrowncoat Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 This could be absolutely huge. WOW. PARAMORE GOES FOR TOP SPOT, MARIAH IN HOT PURSUIT Fueled by Ramen Punk-Rockers Hold the Edge Over Diva in One-Day Returns September 30, 2009 Paramore, the Fueled by Ramen punk-rock group whose 360-deal with WMG through Atlantic Records has proven a successful new model, look headed for a #1 debut on next week’s HITS Album sales chart, based on one-day sales reports from those retailers who still take our calls. Brand New Eyes, the third studio album from the band, fronted by lead vocalist Hayley Williams, takes an early lead in the race with a one-day sales total that projects to 180-190k for the week. That gives them the edge over Island/IDJ diva Mariah Carey’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which is now on target for 160-170k. With a question as to how front-loaded those sales for Paramore are, Carey could close the edge if she has a brisk weekend. Those two are among the five top debuts next week, all registering in six-figures, including Columbia legend Barbra Streisand’s Love is the Answer (150-160k), Hollywood rockers Breaking Benjamin (140-150k) and Virgin/EMI’s retooled grunge gods Alice in Chains (130-140k). Columbia Nashville country darling Miranda Lambert’s Revolution heads the other newcomers, with a total approaching 65-75k. WB Material Gal Madonna’s Celebration greatest hits album is in the 60-70k range, as is Interscope goth-punks AFI’s Crash Love. Disney’s latest Hollywood Records crossover cable TV teen star Selena Gomez & The Scene is looking at first-week sales of 50-60k. Rock on Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd’s latest, God and Guns, on Roadrunner’s Loud and Proud label, looks for an opening week total of 30-40k, same as Williams Street virtual death metal group Dethklok, from Adult Swim’s animated Metalocalypse series. American/Columbia Rick Rubin-produced roots rockers Avett Brothers round out the debuts with 25-30k for their major label bow, I and Love and You. The market was down 4% vs. last week, down 7% vs. same week last year and still down 14% year to date. You may now return to stocking your underground fallout shelter with canned goods and other imperishable items. http://hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPage.cgi?news07775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G3vans Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Fucking hell, Muse didnt even get the top spot in the US. Paramore have grown fucking huge, and I mean seriously huge. I think these chart positions and recent UK tour sell outs prove that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
