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

My wife was reading a magazine and she said, “Oh look, Pink’s got a new album out...Oh never mind, that’s Adam Lambert.”
I thought it was funny.
All 30,000 gays in the country have bought his album in the pre-sale, that is all. At approximately $8 a sale, that fits perfectly. I don’t know why anyone would listen to him, he is the definition of one note wonder. He CAN ONLY be outrageous, a pleasant rendition of a simple tune leaves him as just another voice in the crowd.
Lovely. A hag and a fag.
Perhaps you should shut your ignorant mouth as far a Boyle is concerned and listen.
As far as Lambert is concerned, you’re right.
Listen to the hag if you have the guts.

It simply proves that Sh!^ Sells.
John Mayer is the only one on the list with talent.

BTW, "guts", "ignorant?" Are you always this hostile when defending pop culture?
My mom heard Susan boyle on Dancing with the Stars and loved her, so one of those C.D. sales was to me as a atocking stuffer for my mom. She’s great. As for Lambert, I believe I said “She’s cute” upon seeing his C.D. at FYE. My fiancee goes “Babe, that’s a guy”.
Hey, they say Adam is a “lock for #2.”
LOL, You can’t make this stuff up!
I can't even remember his name!

Well said. Thank you.
What a wonderful, talented vocalist!!!!
There’s no need to call her a hag, buccanneer.
I know what she looks like, but she doesn’t deserve that.
No, I am not always this hostile, and I normally attack pop culture, but yes, your referring to her as a hag pissed me off, so I stood up for her.
Notice I did not do the same for Lambert, whom I feel deserves whatever he gets.

Hahaha! That’s great. I remember seeing my mom watching American Idol, and she was just wowed at Lambert to start. She told me he’s gothic. I took one look at this fool and said,”No, Ma, he’s a flamer”.
My mom will also be getting Susan Boyle’s cd for Christmas. She loves her, and so do I.
LOL! There is irony there, no doubt.
