THANK GOD IT'S BLACK FRIDAY (Susan Boyle set to debut at #1, Adam Lambert at #2)
Hits Daily Double ^ | 11/28/2009

Susan Boyle Climbs Past 625k, Approaches 675k, Lambert #2, Lady Gaga Two in Top 10

Steve Barnett's Columbia Records and Susan Boyle have a lot to be thankful for this weekend. And that goes for you two, Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga.

Going into the weekend, Simon Cowell's gal Boyle is a runaway for #1 on next Tuesday's HITS Album Sales chart, with a total almost three times her closest competitor, 19/RCA/ RMG's Idol runner-up Adam Lambert.

Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream is on target for between 625-675k in sales, which would be the year's biggest debut, besting Eminem's 608k for his Relapse album.

Lambert's For Your Entertainment looks like a lock for #2 with between 210-230k.

The week's other big story is Interscope's Lady Gaga, whose seven-song Fame Monster EP will sell between 190-210k, good enough for #3, while her just-released two-disc Fame Monster deluxe edition should add another 130-150k to that album's total.

Decca's Andrea Bocelli is the lone Top 5 holdover at 180-200k, where he's running neck-and-neck with Def Jam/IDJ diva Rihanna's critically acclaimed Rated R with the same estimated total.

The rest of the chart looks a little something like this, pending weekend traffic:

Carrie Underwood (19/Arista Nashville) 100-120k

John Mayer (Columbia) 90-110k

* Shakira (Columbia) 85-100k

50 Cent (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 85-100k

Twilight Saga: New Moon (Chop Shop/Atlantic) 85-100k

Norah Jones (Blue Note/EMI) 85-100k

Taylor Swift Fearless (Big Machine) 85-100k

Michael Jackson's This Is It (Epic) 75-90k

Casting Crowns Peace on Earth (Provident/Reunion) 75-90k

Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (Big Machine) 75-90k

*indicates debut

Notice I did not do the same for Lambert, whom I feel deserves whatever he gets.

All his problems are behind him...

Then what the heck is this person talking about?

Further, who the heck is “Lambert?” I have never heard of this person before. But then I live in Panama.

Thank you.

In November, Adam Lambert performed "For Your Entertainment" at the American Music Awards of 2009. The performance showed Lambert kissing a male keyboardist, grinding a dancer's head against his pelvis, and grabbing the crotch of another. Lambert told Rolling Stone magazine, "Female performers have been doing this for years — pushing the envelope about sexuality — and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out. We're in 2009 — it's time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people's eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I'm not for them. My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom."[43] In response to his performance, the Parents Television Council, a conservative decency campaigning group,[44] urged viewers to complain to the FCC.[45] The performance, at the end of the show, was broadcast "outside the FCC's usual 6am-10pm time frame prohibiting the broadcast of indecent material".[46] ABC received about 1,500 telephoned complaints and announced he would not perform on Good Morning America on November 25th as planned.[47][48] CBS subsequently invited Lambert to perform instead on The Early Show, on the same date in New York City.[49]

So what does this have to do with Susan Boyle?

Your fascination with such info you sent me is sick. I never read that type of crap.

Did you even read the title of this thread, or does living in the third world make you dense?

THE TITLE OF THE THREAD:

Well, I was sort of happy to see Casting Crowns in the Top Ten. That was somewhat encouraging...

>>>Apparently Adam Lambert’s controversial AMA performance of his debut song : FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT did not harm his sales figures.

Be careful. I made exactly the same point yesterday on an attack-Lambert thread and was told “Thanks for parroting the lies and propaganda techniques of the Left for us.” “if you want to be a cheerleader for this trash, well, I guess that says a lot more about you.”

Objective reality is offensive you know. So cut it out.

Honestly, you and I are simply making an OBSERVATION. This observation we make is not different from saying --- OBAMA, the Bill Ayers supporter, won the presidency because a majority of Americans voted for him.

The observations you make does not reflect on your personal approval, it is simply a sad commentary on the taste of a large number of people in America.
