This is the place to gather on Mondays and Tuesdays
to watch HDD build their sales charts
at the speed of molasses pouring from a jar ..............

Good morning all!

We will be tracking week 19 for repackaged album Steadfast in this thread. Please discuss the incoming sales numbers here.

Album single - new song Bring Back My Love.

Upcoming:

National Inclusion Project Gala in Washington, DC - Oct 20, 2012. ALL Tickets on sale now!

Joyful Noise Tour II. Confirmed dates in Florida (3), Pennsylvania (1).

Released on May 8: Dee Snider's broadway album with the amazing Clay duet on Luck Be A Lady Tonight.

Last week's sales for Steadfast - not reported. We're assuming it is off the Billboard chart.

The milestones from Clay's first five full albums, eps, singles, and book are in post 2 of this thread for reference.

Official Sales Thread Poem by llbun

HDD, hurry with the numbers for Clay,
We've been cleaning toilets forever and a day,
We want to know how our baby is faring,
We expect very good from all we are hearing.

Waiting for numbers is really a strain,
Makes my heart pump fast and hard on the brain,
Ease our nerves with a faster update,
Why is HDD always so late.

I think they know that waiting is hard on each fan
I think they do it because they know they can,
We want to know where Ruben, Kelly and Fanny will place,
But theres only one who will bring a huge smile to our face.

Clay, come on and show all the naysayers just what you can do,
No matter your placement you know we are so proud of you.
We love Clay to distraction, you know that's a fact.
So give us his numbers and watch us react.

ROSS ON THE RISE

Joss Stone, Gloriana Achieve Top 10 Debuts, with 2 Chainz, Trey Songz Next Up August 7, 2012 Miami rapper Rick Ross enjoys living large, and it doesn’t get any bigger than a #1 HITS chart debut for his new Def Jam/IDJ album, God Forgives, I Don’t, which enters on top with 215k, more than five times his closest challenger. Last week’s chart champ, Atlantic Records country-rock group Zac Brown Band’s Uncaged, drops a notch to #2, with Island/IDJ’s Justin Bieber (#3), Syco/Columbia’s One Direction (#4) and Razor & Tie’s Kidz Bop Kidz (#5) rounding out the leader board. S-Curve U.K. soul diva Joss Stone’s sequel to her debut Sessions album debuts at #9, while Emblem/Reprise country act Gloriana enters at #10. Def Jam/IDJ’s Nas (#6), XL/Columbia’s Adele (#7) and A&M/Octone’s Maroon 5 (#8) complete the Top 10. Other Top 50 newcomers include Nuclear Blast America’s veteran hard rockers Testament (#19), RCA’s Sparkle soundtrack with Whitney Houston’s final performances (#26), Mom + Pop’s Joshua Radin (#34), Gospocentric’s J Moss (#37), Interscope’s Imagine Dragons (#40), Republic’s Alex Clare (#45) and Interscope’s Step Up Revolution soundtrack (#50). An Amazon MP3 99-cent sale pushes Roadrunner’s Rush (#16), Reprise’s Bee Gees Number Ones compilation (##18) and Warner Bros.’ James Taylor Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (#28) back on the charts. Blue Note/EMI’s Norah Jones (#44) also returns to the Top 50. Columbia’s John Mayer leads the week’s batch of double-digit gainers, moving #38-31, +60%, followed by 19/Arista Nashville’s Carrie Underwood (#23-20, +26%), YM/CM/Republic’s Nicki Minaj (#32, +25%), Glassnote’s Mumford & Sons (#35, +17%) and Capitol/EMI’s Now 42 (#30, +12%). Hitting stores this week are Capitol/EMI’s Now 43, Sony Legacy’s We Walk the Line soundtrack tribute to Johnny Cash, RCA’s ElleVarner and Palehorse/ADA’s 10 Years. Def Jam/IDJ’s eagerly awaited 2 Chainz hits on Aug. 14, with Atlantic’s Trey Songz on deck for the following week (8/21).
