Chart Outlook: Susan Boyle’s ‘Gift’ Likely to Remain No. 1 Next Week November 17, 2010 - Retail By Keith Caulfield Though a hefty number of blockbuster new albums reached the marketplace on Nov. 16, none of them look like they'll topple Susan Boyle's "The Gift" from No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week. 雖然11/16號有很多大咖發片，但卻沒有人能夠在下週將Susan Boyle的The Gift 專輯從冠軍寶座打下來。 Industry prognosticators suggest that the Christmas-flavored "Gift" could sell upwards of 300,000 copies by week's end on Nov. 21. Considering it opened atop the list this week with 318,000, that would be a minuscule second-week decline. Normally, albums that post big opening weeks tend to drop significantly in week number two. 唱片界預測這張聖誕專輯在11/21結算前能夠賣出30萬張。這張專輯上週賣了31.8萬張， 意味著這張專輯將會有非常小的跌幅，通常專輯銷量在首週會很高，次週之後就會跌落 下來。 So what makes "The Gift" different? Well, its target demographic of older consumers tends not to focus on an album's street date and buy music at a more leisurely pace. There's probably a fair amount of people shopping at Target or Walmart this week who will pick up "The Gift" without realizing it dropped a week earlier. 所以這張專輯與眾不同的地方在於？它的購買群主要集中中老年人，這些人通常不會注意 會特別注意專輯發行的日期或時間，反而，他們常常是想到才會去注意去買。所以呢，很 多在本週買The Gift"的人根本就還不知道這張專輯原來上個禮拜就已經發了。 Additionally, because it's a holiday-themed album, it benefits from shoppers in the hunt for tunes to play around the house as the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays approach. 此外，因為這張專輯比較屬於節慶取向，它的銷量也跟一些消費者想要在感恩節或聖誕節 來臨時有適合的音樂可以應景有關。 Looking to come in at No. 2 is "America's Got Talent" runner-up Jackie Evancho with her debut EP "O Holy Night." The modestly priced four-track set might sell in the range of 250,000 to 280,000. Rihanna's fifth studio album, "Loud," is on track to give the diva her fifth top 10, as it's aiming for a start around 180,000 copies. 再來看看亞軍，預測會是AGT本屆的亞軍Jackie Evancho的首張EP"O Holy Night"，銷量 可能會落在25萬到28萬間。 蕾哈娜的第五張錄音室專輯"Loud"，預估會賣出18萬張。 18萬張... 天啊 預測的人你是跟riri有仇嗎XDDDD 不管怎樣 還是要等到到時候開出來的結果 拭目以待... 其實我覺得專輯有沒有第一名 不重要 重點是要長賣... GGGB 全球好像650萬張了 美國好像200萬張 RR 250 美國前幾天認證破100萬張 想不到吧XDD RR竟然賣得還不錯!!! 相信這張全球應該可以破350萬!!!! 還有雖然她沒有NO.1專輯 但她有一堆No.1單曲 哀 這就夠了說 (酸葡萄心理XDD) 畢竟NO.1單曲跟NO.1專輯兩個的難度差異是大家都知道的 美國單曲榜的冠軍應該是世界上最難拿的!!!!! 你要考慮到點播成績 下載成績 還有音樂錄影帶的點數... 不管怎樣 希望這張可以長賣!!! --
