Blair cooper ruled the charts again for the second week in a row this week, taking in another 201,000 copies for a solid two-week total of 650,000 copies.

There was three new releases this week: Danielle's self-titled album (116,000), Natalia's "Love & Lost" (76,000), and Shane Porter's "Shane Porter" (40,000).

Alex Rose took an easy dip, adding another 50,000 copies for a new total of 210,000, while Pete Wentz chugs along with "The Boy With the Thorn In His Side", which has sold 257,000 copies to date.

Making a big comeback was Midnight Records' HSM2 star, Monique Coleman. Her self-titled debut which opened weak two weeks ago, took a big jump week-to-week and sold 30,000 copies this week. Her new single came out this week while the video debuted after HSM2 on Friday, so next weeks sales could be even bigger. It looks like she will take a hint from Vanessa Hudgens and keep chugging along with solid sales.

Gabriel Austin continued with another 25k and 255k total, while Tina Barrett took another 7,000. Tina's drop probably would've been harder if her new song, "Move It" didn't release this week.

There are over a week early, that is too early I think...

[nightrecords]

I like them the day of release, like MYON or MYOS

[Midnight Records]

I dont think its too early.. i dont feel like waiting a whole week to post them... i think everyone would like them early. Maybe Tuesday is too early.. I could do One-Day Sales report on Tuesday and then the charts on Wednesday?

And if their is alot of promotion after the chart comes out, the next weeks chart will reflect that.

[Louie]

Im a bit disappointed in Danielle's sales.
I did loads of promotion, appearances and everything.

[Midnight Records]

well i took it from regular sales.. her single has sold about 215k of downloads in two weeks so thats pretty good but its not explosive.. 82k first week is really good. It should see a steady run since This is Me Is doing great on the charts.

[Louie]

Ok
Sometimes it's not
Kelly rowland's album did that and it's a become a flop.

So, is there any chance of the album going high in sales.

[Midnight Records]

yes of course. some albums start out slow then have alot of stability. i see Danielle falling very little next week because This is Me is becoming a big hit.

[Midnight Records]

You know what, I think i'm going to agree with LC. I am going to bump up Danielle's. She deserved more.

[Midnight Records]

Danielle's is changed to 116k.
