This issue marks the beginning of Chart Year 2002. The 2001 year-end charts will be published in the 12/29 issue. GHV2 ---- | TW LW WO PK(#) | -----------------------------|----------------------------| Billboard 200 | 7* NEW 1 7 | Top Internet Album Sales | 10* NEW 1 10 | -----------------------------|----------------------------| How well can a Greatest Hits album sell with no new tracks, no radio single, and virtually no promotion from the artist? For Madonna, the answer is 150,300. Though it pales in comparison to "Music" and "Ray Of Light," both of which started in the neighborhood of 400,000, GHV2 steps up from the 112,923 that opened the ballad collection "Something To Remember." It also beats "Bedtime Stories" (145,000) but falls short of matching "Erotica" (167,000). "GHV2" claims a narrow victory over new albums from Rob Zombie (almost 150,000) and Jewel (140,000). Direct sales from the TV ads, mostly seen on VH-1, may have made the difference. "GHV2" is the lowest-debuting Madonna album in the SoundScan era, and, barring an unlikely climb, her lowest-peaking album since "You Can Dance" stalled at #14. However, chart positions are relative. Just five weeks ago, 150,300 would have put an album at #3. "GHV2" probably will not match "The Immaculate Collection's" Diamond- level success; then again, very few hits collections do. Madonna's definitive '80s retrospective is the highest-certified Greatest Hits album by a female artist, trailed by Patsy Cline (9 Platinum) and Janis Joplin (7 Platinum). If you count female vocalists, Carpenters' "The Singles 1969-1973" is also 7 Platinum. Since 1990, only around three dozens of hits collection albums have made the top 10. The only ones that reached the pinnacle were Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson (hits + new), Van Halen, Celine Dion (hits + new), and don't forget the Beatles (three "Anthology" and "1"). Of course, peak position and long-term sales do not always correlate. The above-mentioned Van Halen, for example, is only 2 Platinum, while Aerosmith's "Greatest Hits" and Bob Marley's "Legend" both conquered 10 Platinum (Diamond) without ever cracking the top 40. The table below compares hits collections (and the like) from the contemporary "divas". The columns read: artist/title, release year, debut position and sales, peak position, number of weeks in the top 10, number of weeks on the Billboard 200, and RIAA certificate level. Among the ones released before 1999, "Immaculate" is the only one that makes regular appearances on the Pop Catalog Albums chart.

This is, believe it or not, Madonna's first #1 Music Video since "The Immaculate Collection." "Girlie Show" peaked at #3; three video singles "Ray Of Light," "Music" and "What It Feels Like For A Girl" hit #4, #3 and #2, respectively.

It is especially impressive considering that holiday titles are starting to flood the chart, claiming seven of this week's top 20 spots. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hot 100 ------- Total singles sales evaporate to a humiliating 306,000. Despite a 4,500- unit drop, Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The USA" overtakes the throne from Whitney Houston's "The Star Spangled Banner." Selling 16,500, it marks the first time in SoundScan era that the #1 selling single moves less than 20,000 copies. Mary J. Blige's "Family Affair" makes it five times at the top, giving chart freaks another piece of trivia to babble about - 30 years ago this week, Sly & the Family Stone's "Family Affair" was #1. The #2-#5 entries - "U Got It Bad," "Hero," "How You Remind Me" and "Turn Off The Light" - are all bulleted. Billboard 200 ------------- Garth Brooks's "Scarecrow," allegedly his final studio album, conjures up sales close to 466,000. This is no match for 1997's "Sevens," which opened to the tune of 897,000, or 1998's "Double Live," which set a then-record of 1,085,000. However, it is in line with 1995's "Fresh Horses" and 1993's "In Pieces," and a healthy comeback from 1999's "Chirs Gaines" venture that managed 262,000 first week out. "Scarecrow" is Garth's eighth #1 album, and marks his 51st week at the top. An even more severe case of career decline plagues Jewel, who went from 368,000 for 1998's "Spirit" to 140,000 for this week's "This Way." At the end, this week's female lead is Colombian singer Shakira, who serves up 202,000 copies of "Laundry Service" and lands at #3. Her two previous albums, in Spanish, charted in the lower half of the Billboard 200. Garth, Shakira, Madonna, Rob Zombie and Jewel mark the fifth time in 2001 that at least five albums start their courses in the top 10. Other debuts include UGK (#18), Paul McCartney (#26), Sevendust (#28), Natalie Merchant (#30), Radiohead's live album (#44), Barry Manilow (#90) and Shelby Lynne (#109). Joining the Greatest Hits brigade are Barenaked Ladies (#38), Green Day (#40), The Cure (#58), Rod Stewart (#69) and Boyz II Men (#89). Whew! For those who experienced 1980s, one might say that Michael Jackson's "History" is the only album that rivals "The Immaculate Collection" in terms of nostalgic value and cultural impact. It is somewhat surprising, therefore, that the new 1-CD version of this seemingly quintessential collection bows at a lackluster #85 on this week's chart. The 1995 2-CD version (coupled with a new album) has only scanned 2.4 million and certified for shipment of 3.5 million, leaving plenty of room for new business. Plus, Michael's concert special on CBS has just refreshed the moonwalking, crotch-grabbing memory of his glorious past for 25.7 million TV viewers. Then again, anyone who wants to own "Billie Jean" probably already have the "Thriller" album, which is bulleted at #6* on Pop Catalog Albums. "Invincible" registers a 6.5% sales drop and ranks #4. Britney, at #2, loses 55% of weekly sales and moves another 336,000. Enya, Enrique Iglesias and Nickelback are the other holdovers in the top 10, while Pink Floyd, DMX and Backstreet Boys each fall by 10 spots or more. Who's Real? - New Policy ------------------------ For the new chart year, Billboard has implemented a new policy regarding remixes. Re-recorded versions of a song will only be merged with the original version for airplay tracking if they resemble each other either lyrically or musically, or both. This is clearly a response to Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real," for which the "remix" featuring Ja Rule is nothing like the original version except for the title. Had this rule existed back then, "I'm Real" may not have been able to hit #1. The rule also applies to all-star recordings such as "What's Going On." Under the new policy, different versions will only be merged if a majority of artists appear on each one. Note that most remixes, including dance remixes for ballads, do satisfy the requirement for combined tracking. Same song recorded in different languages will also continue to be combined. Existing "violators" will be allowed to finish their chart run under the old policy. -------------------------------------------- A "*" (bullet) beside a chart position marks that a single or album registered a notable gain in sales or airplay or chart points. Debut titles automatically carry bullets. Video charts and Top Internet Album Sales do not award bullets.
