Elvis deprives Stones of U.S. chart satisfaction
Wed Oct 9, 3:45 PM ET
By Dean Goodman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Elvis rolled the Stones on the U.S. pop album charts, depriving the veteran rockers of what would have been their first No. 1 album in 21 years, according to sales data issued Wednesday.
The Elvis Presley (news) retrospective "Elvis: 30 #1 Hits" sold nearly 337,000 copies in the week ended Oct. 6, its second week of release, while the Rolling Stones' hits package "Forty Licks" opened at No. 2 with sales of 310,000 units, according to tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan.
The Stones' tally marks the best album debut of their career since SoundScan started tabulating the charts with point-of-sales data a decade ago. The band's previous best opening was in 1997, when their studio album "Bridges to Babylon" opened at No. 3 with 160,000 units.
"Forty Licks," a double-CD set that boasts 36 career-spanning hit tunes and four new songs, marks the first joint venture between the Stones' current label, Virgin Records and their old label, closely held ABKCO Records.
"We're very pleased with such strong first-week sales for 'Forty Licks,"' said a spokeswoman for EMI Group Plc (news - web sites), the parent company of Virgin.
She added that the label expected the album to sell strongly through the holiday period, helped by the Stones' current tour.
Presley, whose two-week total rose to 838,000 units, has benefited from aggressive pricing at mass-market retailers. The single-disc RCA Records package carries a list price of $18.98, but is currently selling for $13.99 at KMart Corp. and $14.99 at Best Buy Co. Inc.. "Forty Licks," with a $29.98 list price, is selling for $19.99 at Kmart and $24.99 at Best Buy, spokeswomen at the chains said.
RCA Records is a unit of German media giant Bertelsmann AG (news - web sites) .
The Rolling Stones last topped the album charts in 1981 when "Tattoo You" led the field for nine weeks. In all they have sent nine records to the top since 1965. "Forty Licks" also debuted at No. 2 in Britain and at No. 7 in Japan.
The latest top 10 contained three other new entries: West Coast rapper Xzibit's "Man vs. Machine" at No. 3; "American Idol Greatest Moments," a collection of performances by the 10 finalists on the hit talent show, at No. 4; and Maryland rock band Good Charlotte's second album "The Young and the Hopeless" at No. 7.

"40 licks" is also first week on #2 in Switzerland - just behind Elvis. The complete album top 10:
1 Elvis Presley - Elvis 30 #1 hits
2 Rolling Stones - Forty Licks
3 Herbert Gr�nemeyer - Mensch
4 Bon Jovi - Bounce
5 Mark Knopfler - The ragpicker's dream
6 Avril Lavigne - Let go

There are Swiss album charts since 1983, the Stones had #1 with "Dirty work" (1986) and "Voodoo lounge" (1994) until now. I saw they are currently selling "40 licks" for Fr. 29,90 (about $20).

So, we are all very glad that the Stones are cashing in on songs they have already cashed in on, and we even helped them to do it, LOL!!
Yes, I know, it's the honour that counts  . |

I'm still very very busy downloading all the new stuff from Toronto, Boston (Fleet Center and Orpheum), Foxboro, Chicago (UC, Comiskey, Aragon), Philadelphia (Veterans), Upper Darby (Tower)... There seem to be different recordings around, very interesting. Still the best of all of them are Koichis Toronto recordings. But I'm still looking for Roseland (and the Wiltern Theatre with Solomon Burke!).
Stones first! |
