Nuevo Disco: "MICHAEL" a la venta el 14/12/2010 *Sólo NOTICIAS*

Swift Back at No. 1 on Billboard 200, 'Michael' Bows at No. 3

The No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week was seemingly up for grabs a week ago, when industry prognosticators were predicting that it was a race between the then-current topper "The Gift" from Susan Boyle, former No. 1 "Speak Now" by Taylor Swift and Michael Jackson's new "Michael."


Well, Swift triumphs, as her "Speak" sells 259,000 (up 29%), according to Nielsen SoundScan, and returns to No. 1 for a third non-consecutive week. She beats out Boyle by 5,000 copies, as "Gift" falls one slot to No. 2 with 254,000 (up 5%). Swift's "Speak" total rises to 2.6 million, holding as 2010's third-best selling set. It stands behind only Eminem's "Recovery" (3.2 million) and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" (3 million). It's been six weeks since "Speak" was on top, marking the longest gap between No. 1 frames for an album since Alicia Keys' "As I Am" stepped aside for eight weeks between Dec. 1, 2007 and Jan. 26, 2008.


Michael Jackson's much buzzed-about "Michael" enters the Billboard 200 this week at No. 3 with 228,000 -- a start actually bigger than initially projected. It's Jackson's ninth solo album to reach the top 10, and it follows his No. 1 set from a year ago, "This Is It," which launched with 373,000.

TRADUCCIÓN:

El nuevo álbum de Michael Jackson acaba en el número 3 en EE.UU., pero es un éxito internacional.
Por: Roger Friedman en Famosos, Música / / 22 de diciembre 2010 a las 12:40 UTC

El álbum de Michael Jackson "Michael" entra en las listas de éxitos en el número 3 esta semana, justo detrás de Taylor Swift y Susan Boyle.

"Michael" vendió 224.000 copias, unas 25.000 menos que las dos mujeres.

Por otra parte, "Michael" fue el álbum debutante más alto de la semana de acuerdo a hitsdailydouble.com. Se vendió más que los nuevos CDs de R. Kelly y P. Diddy en más de 100.000 copias. En todo el mundo, sin embargo, Sony dice que es un éxito internacional. (Véase más abajo.)

No obstante, el último álbum de Jackson, "Invincible", vendió 363.000 copias en su primera semana, allá por el 30 de octubre de 2001.

Teniendo en cuenta la modesta cantidad de dinero que entró en la comercialización de "Michael" y las enormes sumas perdidas en P. Diddy, se podría decir que "Michael" es aún un éxito más grande.

Lo que le falta, sin embargo, es un éxito rompedor. Y el álbum aún no ha superado el estigma de la voz de Jackson posiblemente no siendo suya - y que lo es.

Sony torció esto desde el principio. La versión de "Breaking News" que se puso en el sitio web en streaming en noviembre no sonaba como Michael Jackson. De hecho, era la mezcla equivocada. Esto llevó a los rabiosos fans de Jackson a gritar que estaban siendo engañados.

Es una lástima: "Breaking News" es un gran sencillo. En el álbum, es claramente Michael Jackson cantando toda la voz principal. Los fans de Jackson se están negando a sí mismos un verdadero placer si piensan lo contrario.

El verdadero primer sencillo, "Hold My Hand", con Akon, no ha sido un placer de multitudes.

La retrospectiva es siempre 20/20, pero creo que Sony se precipitó en el lanzamiento. No tenían ninguna campaña de marketing, ni enfoque, y mucha negatividad que superar. Si hubieran esperado hasta la primavera, se podría haber pensado algo más en cómo poner en marcha este CD.

"Michael" tiene un montón de potenciales sencillos. "Monster", "Keep Your Head Up" y "Another Day" son todos grandes. Sin embargo, Sony va a tener que aplicar algo de la caja pensando para hacer que suceda.

En todo el mundo, "Michael" es una historia diferente. He aquí un comunicado de prensa de Sony:

# MICHAEL expedido Platino en 14 territorios, incluyendo los Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Alemania, Francia (x2), Italia (x3), España, Portugal, Polonia, Rusia, Bélgica, República Checa (x4), Canadá, Corea y Oriente Medio.

# El álbum debutó en el # 1 en Alemania, Italia, Países Bajos y Suecia.

# Y en lo alto del # 1 de la lista en Alemania, las ventas de MICHAEL rompieron el récord de la primera semana del país en 2010 con más de 85.000 unidades vendidas.

# Semana de apertura de ventas con más de 113.000 en el Reino Unido obtuvo la mayor semana de apertura para un nuevo álbum de estudio de Michael Jackson desde "Dangerous" hace casi 20 años.

# En Japón, el álbum es el cuarto álbum de Michael Jackson que debuta en el top 3, uniéndose a Bad, Thriller y al álbum del año pasado "This Is It".

# El álbum está entre los cinco primeros en Bélgica (# 2), EE.UU. (# 3), Japón (# 3), Reino Unido (# 4), Francia (# 4), Dinamarca (# 4). En los EE.UU., el álbum se ha expedido platino y debutó en el # 3 del Billboard con algo menos de 230.000 copias vendidas.

# El álbum fue disco de oro en 17 territorios en su llegada a Japón, China, Australia, Irlanda, Austria, Países Bajos, Dinamarca, Finlandia, Grecia, Hungría, Noruega, Suecia, Suiza, Nueva Zelanda, India, Filipinas y Taiwán.
 
Michael Jackson arrasa con su álbum MICHAEL, Nº2 en España y Nº1 en ventas globales en el mundo, con Platino en 14 países y Oro en 17
Michael Jackson ha demostrado nuevamente que es el rey del pop y que su música no tiene fronteras al conseguir con su álbum MICHAEL un nuevo Nº1 en ventas globales en la primera semana de su publicación, vendiendo más de tres millones de ejemplares en el mundo y situándolo como uno de los discos claves de 2010. En la segunda semana de su publicación en España, MICHAEL ha subido del Nº7 al Nº2 y ya es disco de Platino.
Definido por la revista TIME como “la reconstrucción cuidadosa de sus momentos más inspirados y un recordatorio de por qué todo comenzó con él”, MICHAEL es el primer disco con nuevas canciones de Michael Jackson en nueve años y un reflejo de la fidelidad de sus fans en todo el mundo y de la nueva legión de admiradores que han quedado prendidos de estas canciones. “MICHAEL es un clásico de la música pop y puede estar entre lo mejor que ha grabado desde sus días de gloria en los 80”, ha escrito Neil McCormick en Daily Telegraph.
• Además de en España, MICHAEL ya es Platino en 14 países, entre ellos Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Alemania, Francia (doble Platino), Italia (triple Platino), Portugal, Polonia, Rusia, Bélgica, republica Checa (cuatro Platinos), Canadá, Corea y Oriente Medio.
• El álbum ha debutado en el Nº1 en Alemania, Italia, Holanda y Suecia.
• En Alemania ha batido el récord de ventas en la primera semana en 2010 con 85.000 ejemplares vendidos.
• Con 113.000 discos vendidos, es el álbum de Michael Jackson más vendido en la primera semana en Reino Unido desde Dangerous, hace ya 20 años.
• En Japón es el cuatro disco de Michael Jackson que entra directo al Top 3. Los otros fueron Bad, Thriller y This Is It.
• MICHAEL es Top 5 en España (Nº2), Bélgica (Nº2), Estados Unidos (Nº3), Japón (Nº3), Reino Unido (Nº4), Francia (Nº4) y Dinamarca (Nº4).
• El álbum es Oro en 17 países: Japón, China, Australia, Irlanda, Austria, Holanda, Dinamarca, Finlandia, Grecia, Hungría, Noruega, Suiza, Nueva Zelanda, India, Filipinas y Taiwan.
MICHAEL concreta un nuevo acuerdo entre el Estate of Michael Jackson y Sony Music anunciado el pasado mes de marzo y que continúa una relación de 35 años trabajando con el artista y su música. Durante este tiempo, Michael Jackson ha vendido cientos de millones de discos, ha conseguido 13 singles Nº1 y revolucionó la cultura popular con el fenómeno Thriller, que permanece como el álbum más vendido de la historia con más de cien millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo.

Jackson album is top global seller

Michael Jackson's posthumous album has been named the top selling global album of 2010.

The LP, called Michael, debuted at number one on the global chart after three million units were shipped to 31 territories.

The CD, which topped the charts in four countries on the week of its release, has been certified Platinum in 14 countries, including the US, UK, Germany, France and Italy for shipments of over 300,000 copies.

The album opened in the UK at number four with sales of 113,000 - Jackson's biggest opening sales week since the release of Dangerous nearly 20 years ago.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/ne...al-seller.html
 
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Jackson's first posthumous studio album was the top seller around the world during its first week of release, his label said on Wednesday, but was held to a modest No. 3 debut in the United States.

(So what is wrong with #3 in the US - when it is #3 and #4 in other countries? - other than the Fans like myself wanting it to be Number #1)

The collection of unfinished recordings, simply titled "Michael," took the No. 1 slot in Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Sweden, said Sony Corp-owned Epic Records.

It was also a top-five starter in Belgium (No. 2), Canada (No. 2), Japan (No. 3 ), Britain (No. 4), France (No. 4) and Denmark (No. 4).

In Germany, "Michael" was the biggest debut of the year, selling 85,000 copies, Epic said. Its British start of 113,000 copies was the best for Jackson since 1991's "Dangerous."

In the United States, the world's largest music market, "Michael" sold about 228,000 copies during the week ended December 19. Music trade publication Billboard reported last month that Epic was projecting first-week sales of about 400,000 copies.

"Michael" was bested by Taylor Swift's "Speak," which returned to No. 1 for a third, nonconsecutive week with 259,000 copies, and former chart-topper Susan Boyle's "The Gift" with 254,000 copies.

Jackson's previous release, the "This Is It" compilation soundtrack, debuted at No. 1 in the United States a year ago with 373,000 units. Jackson was the biggest selling artist in the United States last year, selling 8.3 million albums mostly in the wake of his death in June at the age of 50.

"Michael" marks the first of what is expected to be many forays into Jackson's trove of unreleased recordings by the executors of his estate. Big-name producers were hired to finish the tracks, and in some cases had to use digital technology to recreate Jackson's voice.

Clocking in at an economical 42 minutes, the 10-track album had critics wondering if Jackson, a notorious perfectionist, would have approved of it.

The New York Times described it as "a rush job," while Rolling Stone said it was "a grab bag of outtakes and outlines." Entertainment Weekly said it was a "solid" improvement on his last studio release, "Invincible." That 2001 album debuted at No. 1 in the United States with 366,000 copies...

El primer álbum de estudio póstumo de Michael Jackson fue el vendedor superior en el mundo entero durante su primera semana de salida, dijo su discográfica el miércoles, pero tuvo que resignarse a un modesto estreno en el no 3 en los estados unidos.

(¿ Qué hay de malo en ser #3 en EE.UU- cuando es #3 y #4 en otros paises - aparte de que los fans como yo mismo queramos que sea número #1 ?)

Don't Believe The Hype: Dead Michael Not Really No. 1—Find Out Who Beat Him
​
If you thought Michael Jackson was invincible, think again.​
Despite the spin from Jackson's camp that Michael, the first posthumous collection of all new M.J. material, is the "No. 1 global album," there's something his reps aren't saying.​




Like he wasn't even the chart-topper in the United States. Guess who beat him?


That would be Taylor Swift and Susan Boyle, who continued their 1-2 reign on the Billboard charts.
And that's not the only disappointment.​


Team Jackson trumpeted in today's press release that Sony Music/Epic Records shipped more than 3 million units of Michael worldwide in its first week, making it one of the biggest releases of 2010. And yes, the Moonwalker shipped platinum in 14 different territories, among them Italy (3 million), France (2 million), and the U.K., Germany, Russia and the U.S. (1 million each). However that last stat means copies shipped, not sold.


In actuality, Michael entered the charts Stateside at No. 3, selling 228,000 copies.

Si pensabas que Michael Jackson era invencible , piénselo de nuevo.​
A pesar de la vuelta del campamento de Jackson que Michael , la primera colección póstuma de todos los nuevos materiales MJ, es el álbum N º 1 mundial, "hay algo que sus representantes no están diciendo.​
Al igual que él no era aún la carta-primeros en los Estados Unidos. Supongo que lo golpearon?
Eso sería Taylor Swift y Susan Boyle , que continuaron con su reinado de 1-2 en el Billboard charts.
Y esa no es la única decepción.​
El equipo de Jackson bombo y platillo en el comunicado de prensa de hoy que Sony Music / Epic Records vendido más de 3 millones de unidades de Michael en todo el mundo en su primera semana, convirtiéndose en uno de los mayores lanzamientos de 2010. Y sí, el Moonwalker envían platino en 14 territorios diferentes, entre ellos Italia (3 millones), Francia (2 millones), y el Reino Unido, Alemania, Rusia y los EE.UU. (1 millón cada uno). Sin embargo, que hablan pasado significa copias enviadas , no se vende.

RETURN OF THE KING: The late King of Pop makes a triumphant return to Billboard's charts.

Michael Jackson's posthumous set claims top honors on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

The album is Jackson's eighth No. 1 on the R&B/hip-hop album tally:

Peak Year, Title, Weeks at No. 1
1979, "Off the Wall," 16
1983, "Thriller," 37 (the longest reign in the chart's 45-year history)
1987, "Bad," 18
1992, "Dangerous," 12
1995, "HIStory: Past, Present and Future Book 1," two
2001, "Invincible," four
2009, "Michael Jackson's This Is It" (soundtrack), four
2011, "Michael," one

Jackson ups his total to 94 cumulative weeks atop R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, the most among solo acts. Only the Temptations (109) have spent more time at the summit. Jackson has spent an additional 39 weeks at No. 1 with five leading albums as a member of the Jackson 5.

The arrival of "Michael" spurs a 65-39 jump on the Billboard Hot 100 for the set's first radio single "Hold My Hand," with Akon. The song is Jackson's 38th top 40 hit on the Hot 100, breaking a tie with Neil Diamond. Among male artists, Jackson trails only Elvis Presley (80), Elton John (57), Stevie Wonder (46), James Brown (44), Marvin Gaye (41), Lil Wayne (41; see below) and Frankie Valli (39) for most top 40 charted titles among solo males.

"Hold My Hand" is Jackson's first song to ascend to the Hot 100's top 40 since "Butterflies" took flight to No. 14 in January 2002. With the new track's advance, Jackson becomes the first artist to reach the top 40 on the Hot 100 in each of the '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s.
