"Listen Up!" Billboard Chart Positions

[gillyking]

Numbers are in. Not great, but at least not Kris Allen bad.

Yep. She split the difference between Adam and Kris.

Adam Lambert, Trespassing (8,000, -36%, 119,000) (#54 BB200)
Haley Reinhart, Listen Up! (5,000, -37%, 33,000) (#96 BB200)
Kris Allen, Thank You Camellia (2,000, -49%, 23,000)

And outsold Phillip Phillips by 1K.

There's only so much we can do to generate awareness short of taking
hostages and demanding a national media outlet play her songs.

So frustrating that she's not in LA and NY! Really puzzling, especially with what's being played that I hear in LA!

LOL! Well, I think Haley's best shot is getting an industry awards nomination of some kind, ideally a Grammy (obviously). That would be a huge boost for her nationwide cred and awareness. Interscope ain't gonna invest significantly in promo before Haley hits it big, and we can't really do anymore on our end. A radio hit for Oh My! is possible, and would help a lot. No guarantees it'll happen, though.

Let's hope our girl gets a trophy on TV. That's her best shot at making Listen Up! a hit.

If the hostages are other Haliens in on the the plot, does that bring lesser charges?

Good News: Listen Up! is still holding on to BB Top 200. She sold 5k this week.

Bad News (I don't really feel bad about it): She's at 91.

Total album sales is 33-34K. Not really worried about her.

All she needs to do is to keep performing on stages! Get on TV as much as possible, get on stage at as many events as possible! I cannot wait for her management to arrange a tour, or some appearances on other performers tours, etc.. anyway to get on live performance stages! She is so effing beautiful, personable and talented that she literally sells herself! Hell, she's so photogenic that she would grace the cover of any publication! She's so can't miss that I just can't stand her not just flying into superstardom yet! I know in my heart of hearts that she's just at the edge, coming strong and my lack of patience is such a killer! lol...

There were 5000 copies of Listen Up sold during the 3rd week. I wonder when interscope will pull the trigger on releasing another single???

[Flask Man]

Realistically, unless something big pops (major award nomination, hit single, big acting role) LU! will probably not sell much more than 60k. Hopefully, one of those things will happen.

[Miguel]

That's a solid amount of sales if the CD is as scarce everywhere as it has been in the Best Buy and Walmart stores I've been in recently.

International sales could boost the total if we ever get to that point.

Excellent points Gillyking...Haley will stay the course. She is totally committed. It is only a question of time before she hits it big time. Tony Bennett was so right...you have to keep singing. This is only her first album. We are somewhat dismissed because we are "diehard" fans, but the truth is the "total package" is self-evident. People are taking notice, people in the industry are taking notice...she is here for the long term. We need patience, no panic needed. Restocking the shelves at Walmart would help too...what's with TPTB managing that?

[buzzenator]

KEY WORD: WALMART what ptb?? what manage?? It's WALMART. *sorry to any of you that might work in Walmart management. I am sure you do the best you can with the limited resources you are given.*

I was thinking more Interscope...someone has to be monitoring the supply to all the outlets?

I'll see you on Friday bb...it's ok with ac if I have a little sample, right?
