Revelation re-enters at #63 on Billboard's Top 200

Postby Tito » Fri Oct 16, 2009 12:21 am

Was checking the Billboard Top 200, to see where Kiss debuted (#2 btw) and where a few other bands were and stumble across the re-entry of Revelation at #63.

Some guy I never heard of, punked them and debuted at #1. Ace is still charting after 4 weeks, which is a surprise. Foreigner is still doing well and Steel Panther is up to #98. Wish they would've release the album all in the same week (did the download release a week earlier) to see where it could've truly debuted. It is the #1 comedy album for the second week in a row though.

Who the fuck is Glee Cast? I didn't have time to post the other day, but Don't Stop Believin' was #2 on the digital songs chart for last week. Glee Cast did a cover (which sucked balls - I listened to the sample). It's down to #52 this week.

Don't Stop Believin' used to be my favorite song. Now, I turn the dial when it's on the radio. Way overplayed. If I don't hear that song for 2 more years, I'll be cool with that.

I know, it sounds like a bad Partridge Family song. Someone should be slapped! I can't get it out of my head now! "Dum Dum Dum just a small town girl......." :roll:

Looks like this Michael Buble was on Oprah as well. Here's an article on both.

http://idolator.com/5282462/the-music-b ... ytime-soon


The Music Business Will Probably Not Stop Believing In Oprah Anytime Soon

This week’s album charts are topped by Canadian crooner Michael Bublé, who rode Friday appearance on Oprah that was keenly titled to the release of his new album, Crazy Love, to the No. 1 spot. Bublé’s album sold 132,000 copies despite only being available for three days of the sales week, which we can probably attribute to the power of Harpo Productions’ founder. But further down the chart, another act showed that Oprah’s audience is fairly, shall we say, faithful to the music recommendations she gives

At No. 63, vaulting back into the charts on a 680.7% week-to-week increase: Journey’s Wal-Mart-only album Revelation, which sold just under 10,000 copies; the band’s greatest-hits collection, which is available all over the place, saw a 52.9 increase in sales, moving more than 8,000 units and jumping from No. 116 to No. 81 on the Comprehensive chart, which includes “catalog” titles. (Digital tracks chart perennial “Don’t Stop Believin” also saw a 17.3% upsurge in sales, moving 23,000 copies last week.) As it turns out, the band appeared on the Oct. 5 installment of Oprah’s show, which was titled “Don’t Stop Believing!” and which featured a big feature on the rock stalwarts’ path to new lead singer Arnel Pineda. Here’s their performance of “Faithfully” from that program:

OK, first of all: Maybe they’d have sold more copies if not for those muffed lyrics (seriously, wtf). Second of all: I’m a little sad that the Arnel Pineda movie O mentions is a documentary and not a thinly disguised biopic, because whoever would have had to play Steve Perry would have been kind of awesome. (Especially if his ex-bandmates had final say on the casting!) Anyway, given this data—not to mention that a slew of artists currently in the top 20, like Jay-Z and Whitney Houston and even the sagging-on-week-two Mariah Carey, have also had some facetime with Winfrey—I wouldn’t be surprised if music publicists start to even lobby her spinoffs like Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz for an appearance.

Wal-Mart missed the boat on Revelation to sell even more copies than the 10,000 since O mentioned that on her show. When I went in there were no Revelation CDs in any of the stores. My neighbor wanted to buy Revelation after the show and couldn't find it here, was told the few they had sold already, and so ordered it online. They should have put some more back in all the stores. Maybe there are now in my area. Maybe one day I will force myself back into Wal-Mart to see. :wink:

Just goes to show how screwed up WalMart is. 2 of the stores I went to for the Manila DVD had Revelation but no DVD. :? :? :?
