http://tinyurl.com/2cjyd62 MICHAEL Debuts At Number Three (21-12-2010) The numbers won't become official until Friday but various sources are showing "Michael," the new posthumous album of unreleased material coming in at third place behind Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" and Susan Boyle's "The Gift." Even with all of the controversy and the mixed reaction from fans, to date "Michael" has sold a whopping 224,910 copies - just shy of the expected 225,000 that was predicted before it's release. The top ten list is as follows: 新专辑在美国首发 第一周销量22万4千910张 以下是前三名 (泰勒妹真是太夸张了) 1 TAYLOR SWIFT, BIG MACHINE - 254,996 +27% SPEAK NOW 2 SUSAN BOYLE, COLUMBIA - 251,002 +5% THE GIFT 3 MICHAEL JACKSON, EPIC - 224,910 (debut) MICHAEL (看来一堆负面新闻还是有影响 比当初预估首周30-40万少很多 $$$ONY...别再胡搞瞎搞发争议歌曲了吧) Source: MJFC / hitsdailydouble.com / thatgrapejuice.net 另一篇是各国的排名 Michael Jackson's New Album Finishes At Number 3 In US But It's An International Hit MJ新专辑在美国首周排行第三 但在其他世界各地都热销 Michael Jackson‘s “Michael” album enters the charts at number 3 this week, right behind Taylor Swift and Susan Boyle. MJ在美国首周销量排第三 输给泰勒妹和苏珊 “Michael” sold 224,000 copies, about 25,000 less than the two women. 卖出了22万四千张 约少了1 2 名两万五千张 On the other hand, “Michael” was the highest debut album of the week according to hitsdailydouble.com. It outsold new CDs by R. Kelly and P Diddy by more than 100,000 copies. Around the world, however, Sony says it’s an international hit. (See further below.) 但本周 这张专辑仍是最畅销的首发专辑 赢了R.Kelly和Diddy的新专辑 而关於世界销量 SONY说是热销全世界 However, Jackson’s last album, “Invincible,” sold 363,000 copies in its first week, back on October 30, 2001. 然而MJ最後一张专辑2001的万夫莫敌在首周卖了36万三千张 Given the modest amount of money that went into marketing “Michael” and the huge sums wasted on P Diddy, you could say “Michael” is even a bigger hit. 考虑到新专辑投入的不多量的资金宣传 和投入到Diddy专辑的大量宣传上的浪费 MJ的新专辑其实受益更高 ($$$$ONY sucks) What it lacks, though, is a break out hit. And the album still has not overcome the stigma of Jackson’s vocals possibly not being his–and they are. 目前这张专辑缺的是一个热销单曲 这张专辑仍垄罩在MJ的歌声是否是真的上面 但确实是 歌声是真的 Sony sort of screwed this up from the beginning. The version of “Breaking News” that was put on the website for streaming in November didn’t sound like Michael Jackson. It was in fact the wrong mix. This led the rabid Jackson fans to scream that they were being fooled. $ONY一开始就有点搞砸了 breaking news一开始放在网路的版本听起来不像MJ 事实上 那是一个错误的混音 (??好烂的解释) 这让歌迷大喊他们被骗了 It’s too bad: “Breaking News” is a great single. On the album, it’s clearly Michael Jackson singing all the way through the lead. Jackson fans are denying themselves a real treat if they think otherwise. 这实在太糟了 Breaking news是个非常棒的单曲 在专辑中很明显你可以听到主因的确是MJ 唱的 现在歌迷在自我欺骗自己这些歌是假的 (这是谁搞的?) The real first single, “Hold My Hand,” with Akon, has not been a crowd pleaser. 而真正的首发单曲 Hold My Hand并不是这麽受大众欢迎 Hindsight is always 20/20, but I do think Sony rushed the release. They had no marketing campaign, no focus, and a lot of negativity to overcome. If they ’d waited til spring, some more thought could have gone into how to launch this CD. SONY太急着发行专辑了 他们没有宣传策略 没有重点 却有一堆的负面新闻要解决 如果他们等到明年春天 对於要怎麽发行这张专辑会有更多确切的想法 “Michael” has plenty of potential singles. “Monster,” “Keep Your Head Up, ” and “Another Day” are all great. But Sony’s going to have to implement some out of the box thinking to make them happen. 这张专辑有很多潜在的单曲 Monster, keep your head up和another day都很棒 但SONY 需要好好思考要怎麽让这件事情发生 Around the world, “Michael” is a different story. Here’s a press release from Sony: 但在世界其他各处新专辑的销量则是另一个故事了 以下是SONY给媒体的资料 # MICHAEL shipped Platinum in 14 territories including the United States, UK, Germany, France (2x), Italy (3x), Spain, Portugal, Poland, Russia, Belgium, Czech Republic (4x), Canada, Korea and the Middle East. 专辑在14个国家获得了白金认证 包括英国 德国 法国 义大利 西班牙 葡萄牙 波兰 俄罗斯 比利时 捷克 加拿大 韩国和中东 # The album debuted at #1 in Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Sweden. # And on top of the # 1 album chart entry in Germany, sales of MICHAEL broke the country’s 2010’s first-week record with over 85,000 units sold. # Opening week sales of more than 113,000 in the U.K. scored the biggest opening week for a new Michael Jackson studio album since ‘Dangerous’ nearly 20 years ago. 专辑在德国 义大利 荷兰 瑞典都是冠军 在德国销量是2010年首周最高纪录 在英国首周11万三千张是dangerous专辑之後最高的首周销量 # In Japan, the album is the fourth Michael Jackson album to ever debut in the top 3, joining Bad, Thriller and last year’s “This Is It” companion album. 在日本是MJ第四张专辑首周登上前三的 前三张是bad, Thriller和去年的TII原声带 # The album is in the top five in Belgium (#2), US (#3), Japan (#3), the UK (#4), France (#4), Denmark (#4).
