Expected for Miss Elena, albums deserves more, but it's more likely just an acclaimed album. Great work btw.

seems decent for chicks.

only comparison i can think of is shania, but she was able to have lots of bundling so.

 

ellie...well, she was never that big in the us and she's in her 30s now.

Ellie

Ellie's album is universally acclaimed on Metacritic, the quality  Music not the bling

damn, ellie

Ellie

oh wow, Ellie, oh wow.

That it for the chicks, that’s disappointing underwhelming, i was expecting at least at the 150k to 200k range.

 

Great album but they deserved better..

i mean, miranda got 53k and maren 46k and kacey 49k. Aside from bundle-inflated shania, this is basically only behind Carrie.

I think its pretty good considering the name change probably alienated some of their fanbase 

Jhené doing mainstream numbers again we stan, Queen  so well deserved!

Chilombo

 

Not surprised by Miss Goldeen's numbers. I think her biggest US debut week is like 40k give or take, and that was at her peak relevancy

Baby I doubt it was the name change, they took care of alienating their base along time ago lol

Ellie first weeks

Lights: #129 4k (peaked at #21 with 23k)

Halcyon: #9 34k

Delirium: #3 61k (42k pure)

So she was never a big seller but she should've released when Close to Me/Hate Me were charting

Well I guess britney is safe. Thought dixie chicks new era would go multiplatinum and they'd overtake Britney in album certs in the US. I know Britney is undercertified but they updated the chicks certs recently at 33 and Britney's at 34.5M (eligible for 44M) so Britney remains #50 in the top 100.

 

jhene's numbers are good..for her but she really deserves more.

Second Chicks album to miss the #1 since their debut in 1998

I mean Ellie was never THAT big. I always saw her as more of a longevity type of artist.

 

Also she's releasing with literally no single charting

I guess those are expected numbers for Ellie. She has not hit atm and her label is not pushing any single either. 

Poor Ellie, still that's kind of good since the album doesn't have a hit

 

WOW JHENE. Didn't expect so much for the deluxe release especially since there's been no interviews, promo, and she just announced last week. So proud of her!
