Usher On Track To Score No. 1 Album Debut
May 28, 2008, 6:20 PM ET
Keith Caulfield, L.A.
Usher's "Here I Stand" (LaFace/Zomba) should stand tall at No. 1 on The
Billboard 200 next week, as the set tops the Nielsen SoundScan Building
chart, released today (May 28).
Unweighted first-day sales for "Stand" from the chart's panel of nine
accounts through the close of business yesterday came in at 146,000.
That figure is near the 154,000 that Mariah Carey's "E=MC2" (Island) began
with in April. She finished the week with 463,000, though that number was
amplified by an aggressive promotional campaign that included stops on
"Oprah Winfrey" and "American Idol."
Usher's debut might be more in line with the sales bow that greeted Jack
Johnson's "Sleep Through the Static" earlier this year. That Brushfire effort
launched a first-day figure of 121,000 on the Building chart and finished the
week with 375,000.
Usher's last album, 2004's "Confessions," bowed atop The Billboard 200 with
1.1 million sold in its first week and spent nine weeks in the penthouse.
With 9.54 million sold in the U.S., Usher's "Confessions" is the 21st
best-selling album of the Nielsen SoundScan era, which began in 1991.
It's the second biggest seller among male solo singers, behind only
Garth Brooks' "Ropin' the Wind," which has shifted 9.6 million.
Billboard estimates the merchants who report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building
Chart -- Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Circuit City, iTunes, Starbucks,
Borders, Target, Anderson Merchandisers, and Handleman Co. -- comprise about
80% of all U.S. album sales.

美中不足的是,抬望眼,总看见园中西隅,
剩下的那两棵义大利柏树中间,露出一块楞楞的空白来,
缺口当中,映着湛湛青空,悠悠白云,
那是一道女娲炼石也无法弥补的天裂。
