U.S. Charts 03/30/2002
CORRECTIONS/AMENDMENTS
----------------------
You can tell I was tired writing the last two updates back-to-back. The
album "Ray Of Light" received its fourth platinum certificate already,
in March 2000. Warner Bros. was wrongfully accused on this one. Could
it be due for a fifth, with SoundScan sales of 3.71 million? Somewhat a
mystery, Mariah Carey's "Butterfly" claimed 5 platinum when it had only
scanned 3.52 million; but for most albums, the discrepancy between the
two measures is much smaller. (Record club sales, in-store stocks and
SoundScan coverage limitation contribute to the discrepancy.)
I stated that "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" did not break into the top 10
until the week before the Grammy ceremony. In fact, the only pre-Grammy
week it spent in the top 10 was a month before the ceremony. Speaking of
"O Brother," it received top billing on all four charts it was on last
week: In addition to the Billboard 200, the album collected its 7th week
at #1 on Internet Albums, and its 28th week atop both Country Albums and
Soundtrack Albums.
When Billboard claimed Kylie Minogue's "Fever" as the highest-charting
album ever by an Australian female, they excluded Olivia Newton-John who
had two #1 albums. She was born in the U.K. but raised in Australia.
Sorry for any confusion. Now back to our regular updates.
GHV2 (Platinum)

Billboard 200 | 200 182 18 7 |
-----------------------------|----------------------------|
"GHV2" is lucky enough to squeeze in another week on the album chart.
Not counting the four-week run by the 1-CD version of "Evita," the
shortest-living Madonna album prior to this was "You Can Dance" which
stepped out after 22 weeks. Further up on the longevity scale - and
almost evenly spaced - are "I'm Breathless" (25), "Who's That Girl"
(28), "Evita" 2-CD (30) and "Something To Remember" (34).
"GHV2's" SoundScan total stands at 1.078 million. In comparison, Pink
Floyd's "Echoes" and Backstreet Boys' "The Hits - Chapter One" have
scanned 1.534 and 1.383 million, respectively. Other notable sellers
among last holiday season's Greatest Hits offerings include Martina
McBride (834,000), Rod Stewart (470,000) and Green Day (462,000). These
albums are career retrospectives, while "GHV2" covers only the second
decade of Madonna's career. Martina McBride moves back into the top 100
this week as one of the four new tracks, "Blessed," tops Hot Country
Singles & Tracks; Green Day has just dropped off the top 200; and the
other three are charting between #100-#150. Outkast's half-hits-half-new
package, still charting in the top 40, has sold around 895,000.
"GHV2" scans 6,338 copies, a 10.6% drop from last week. The album's
sales decline has slowed down through the past four weeks, a hopeful
sign that sales may stablize sometime soon. Since "GHV2" will not
qualify for catalog status until November 2003, we may not know how
the album will be selling unless it re-enters the top 200.

Dance Recap
-----------
This issue features a first-quarter dance charts recap for the chart
year 2002, covering 12/01/2001-03/02/2002 issues. "Impressive Instant"
and "Megamix" put Madonna at #5 on the Club Play Artist list, though
neither track is among the Club Play Tracks top 10. She ranks #2 on the
Maxi-Singles Sales Artist list, thanks to three chart entries. "What It
Feels Like For A Girl" is #6 on the Maxi-Singles Sales recap.

Hot 100
-------
'NSync's "Girlfriend" (featuring Nelly) jumps #14->#6* and bests the
peak positions of "Pop" (#19) and "Gone" (#11). Not because the song is
a bigger radio hit, but it has been released on a CD maxi-single and
placed at #2 on Singles Sales. Unfortunately, their album "Celebrity"
does take a hit, dropping #70->#87. On the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, where the
track is still weak in airplay, it jumps to #27* and still has some way
to go before matching "Gone's" #14 peak.
Ashanti's "Foolish" jumps to #9*. Since she is featured on both #4 Ja
Rule's "Always On Time" and #5* Fat Joe's "What's Luv?", Ashanti becomes
the first female artist to have three simultaneous top 10 entries. The
last act to play out this hat trick was the Bee Gees in 1978 with three
#1 hits from "Saturday Night Fever." Whitney Houston came very close in
1993 when three singles from "The Bodyguard" gathered in the top 11.
Furthermore, Ashanti did it with her very first three Hot 100 entries.
Only the Beatles pulled off the same feat. In 1964, the A-sides of their
first three singles clustered the top 10, and held down the top three
spots at one time. (The B-sides charted separately back then.) Note that
the Beatles, the Bee Gees and Whitney Houston all made their cases with
their own singles, instead of songs "featuring" them.
The same "featuring" business prevented Ashanti from making the same
claim on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks. Even though "Always On Time,"
"What's Luv?" and "Foolish" were in the top 10 together, they were not
her first three chart entries because she was featured earlier on a
low-peaking Big Pun single. "Foolish" jumps to #1* this week and pushes
Tweet's "Oops (Oh My)" and Usher's "U Don't Have To Call" down one spot
with a bullet. Tweet's 3-week champion is slightly ahead of "Foolish"
by 150,000 in audience impression, but 12" vinyl sales give "Foolish" a
slim edge of 24 chart points overall. Sure to delight all fans of a good
chart fight, debut albums from Ashanti and Tweet are both arriving on
April 2 and will go head-to-head in the 04/20 issue.
Celine Dion's "A New Day Has Come" zooms to #1 on Adult Contemporary,
replacing Enrique Iglesias's "Hero" which has topped the chart for 15
weeks. With 11 #1s, Celine pulls out of a tie with Whitney Houston and
becomes the female artist with the most AC chart-toppers. Her total time
at #1 - 66 weeks and counting - is a record among all artists.
Billboard 200
-------------
"O Brother" scans 149,000, off by a mere 6% from last week. That's more
than enough to keep R&B boyband B2K at bay, whose self-titled album
scans 109,000 copies. Nonetheless, B2K is the first debut act to crash
the top 10 this year. Their single "Uh Huh" topped Hot 100 Singles Sales
for ten weeks and has scanned 331,000 copies.
Two major movers on this chart are related to the six-month anniversary
of the Sept. 11 attacks. Alan Jackson, who performed on the "Today" show
and graced the cover of "Entertainment Weekly," sells nearly 96,000 and
jumps #6->#3* (winning Greatest Gainer). Daniel Rodriguez a.k.a. "the
Singing Cop" re-enters at #112. Sales more than quadrupled after his
rendition of "Danny Boy" closed the CBS special "9/11," watched by 39
million viewers. He also visited the Rosie O'Donnell show. His album
previously charted for one week at #159 after he performed at the Winter
Olympics opening ceremony.
Pacesetter award goes to Contemporary Jazz newcomer Norah Jones, whose
album jumps #92->#62* after she received coverage in "Time," "Newsweek"
and "People" magazines.
