Susan Boyle- "Autumn Leaves" [Music Video]

Susan Boyle Live at America's Got Talent

The Black Eyed Peas Won't Be #1 Next Week

The Black Eyed Peas’ album, The Beginning and Columbia’s Glee Cast Vol. 4 appear to be the top debuts on next week’s chart, based on one-day sales figures from those retailers both appear set to bow in the 110-125k range, which won’t be enough to unseat whoever sits at #1 next week.

That could be Miss Kris Kringle herself, Susan Boyle, if her Gift keeps on giving in the 225k-250k range, which should be enough to beat the likes of Kanye West and Nicki Minaj in their second week.

Album Sales Prediction Are In! Biggest Week of the Year

Let's make it short, and easy to read. Straight to the point! The sales prediction for the many releases of this week has been released, and the #1 spot is not going to be a debut. Susan Boyle will keep the spot for a second week with her album The Gift, predicted to sell another 300,000 copies this week!

Behind at #2 with the highest debut of the week comes America's Got Talent finalist Jackie Evancho. The ten year-old will sell around 270-290,000 copies of her album O Holy Night!

The next highest debut goes to Rihanna, whose album Loud is expected to end up selling between 180-190k copies this week.

Country group Rascal Flatts' latest album Nothing Like This is earmarked for between 170-180k - the same amount that is predicted for Keith Urban's Get Closer and Josh Groban's Illuminations.

Kid Rock returns with Born Free, his follow-up to the triple-platinum Rock N Roll Jesus, which is just behind that trio in the 160-170k range.

Finally, on to to the disappointing debuts:

Nelly's album 5.0 is predicted to sell between 55-60k while Lee DeWyze's album Live It Up is expected to sell 40-45k, which will be the debut album with the weakest first week sales of any previous Idol winner.

P!nk's Greatest Hits... So Far!!! album is predicted to sell the same amount as Lee DeWyze and finally, Norah Jones' compilation of duets, Featuring, will do 18-22k.

Susan Boyle Ends Taylor Swift's Run at #1

Susan Boyle brings an end to Taylor Swift's two-week run at #1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The Scottish singer's second album The Gift opened strong on top selling over 320,000 copies last week. Taylor Swift's Speak Now drops to #2 selling 210,000 copies this week, a 36% decline from the week before.

Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon 2: Legend of Mr. debuts at #3 after selling nearly 180,000 copies and Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits album bows in at #5 with around 90,000 copies sold.

Helping Haiti: Everybody Hurts

Simon Cowell put together a cover of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" to benefit the Haiti earthquake relief effort.

Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Susan Boyle, Kylie Minogue, Westlife, Robbie Williams and Rod Stewart all appear on the track.

Susan Boyle Live at Oprah

Her debut album I Dreamed a Dream has been certified 4x Platinum in the US in just two months since its release! Check out Susan Boyle perform live at Oprah. Nice to see her doing so well.

Susan Boyle is Still at #1 in the US!

Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" holds at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a fifth consecutive week, selling another 510,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. So far, the set has shifted 2,982,000 copies in America.

"Dream" has sold more than half a million copies in each of its first five weeks of release -- something only four albums have done since SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. The Beatles' "1" did it in its first six weeks, while Garth Brooks' "Sevens" and Backstreet Boys' "Black & Blue" each managed 500,000-plus frames in their first five weeks.

With just one more tracking week left in the year, "Dream" may overtake Taylor Swift's "Fearless" as the year's top selling album in the U.S. Swift's "Fearless" has sold 3,157,000 in 2009 -- thus, the gap between the two is down to just 175,000. Because of a quirk in the calendar, instead of 52 tracking weeks in 2009, there are 53. The final week of 2009 will reflect sales data for the week ending Jan. 3. Because four out of the seven days in that week fall in 2009, the full week gets credited to 2009.

Because Boyle continues to dominate the Billboard 200, a superstar diva is forced to sit on the sidelines again this week: Mary J. Blige's "Stronger With Each Tear" debuts at No. 2 with 330,000 copies.

The rest of this week's top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 remains full of familiar titles. Andrea Bocelli's "My Christmas" holds at No. 3 with 284,000 (down 27%) while Alicia Keys' "Freedom" falls two slots to No. 4 with 280,000 (down 33%). Taylor Swift's "Fearless" moves down one rung to No. 5 with 224,000 (down 6%), while Lady Gaga's "The Fame" stays put at No. 6 with 169,000 (up 20%). Justin Bieber's "My World" EP climbs from No. 8 to No. 7 with 157,000 (up 23%) while Carrie Underwood's "Play On" slides three slots to No. 8 with 153,000 (down less than 1%). Closing out the top 10 is Michael Buble's "Crazy Love," down three positions, with 137,000 (down 3%).

And The First Week Sales Predictions Are In!

Susan Boyle's dreams come true - as her Columbia album will be #1 next week with a total that right now appears more than 600k and, dare we say it, could go even higher.The controversial gender-bending Idol runner-up Adam Lambert proves to be the real people’s choice—at least those who prefer their music a cross between Freddie Mercury and Anthony Newley—with a first-week total in the 210-230k range for his 19/RCA/RMG bow, For Your Entertainment, unfortunately, not named after the retail chain.

Interscope provocateur for all seasons Lady Gaga’s Fame Monster EP, a seven-song addition to the deluxe edition available on its own, will do 180-200k, while the new version (now merged on the charts with the original album) should do another 130-150k.

Def Jam/IDJ’s Rihanna, whose new album Rated R has been getting stellar reviews in the L.A. and N.Y. Times and Rolling Stone, is on line for 180-200k.

Yet another global diva, Epic’s Shakira, will bow with 80-90k of her new She Wolf album.

The market was up 13% vs. last week, down 16% vs. same week last year and down 13% year to date.

Now it’s time to suck down some tryptophan, curl up on the couch in a fetal position and watch some football.
