Ashley Tisdale’s movie bombed last weekend, so did Guilty Pleasure. It sold a mere 25,000, landing it in the #12 spot on Billboard’s 200 top CDs. There were nearly 6-million CDs sold last week.
Call it the sophomore jinx the Gin Blossoms discussed. Headstrong, her first CD, did 64,000 its first week. Watch for this CD to fall fast.
Speaking of falling fast, Demi Lovato’s Here We Go again is the fastest falling CD on this week’s chart. Down to #8 from #1 last week, selling only 39,000.
Landing at #7 with 41,000 sales, falling from #5, is the Hannah Montana Volume 3 soundtrack.
Not a good week for Tween music.
No airplay yet for Bandslam soundtrack, due out Tuesday. Not a brilliant marketing move.
Never thought it would happen, but the Hannah Montana Volume 3 soundtrack did not jump out of the box at number 1. It placed #2 behind an R&B artist who hasn’t released a CD in nearly a decade – and it wasn’t Michael Jackson, either.
The Hannah Montana CD bowed with a mere 137,000 units; nearly half the 247,000 units Jonas Brothers Lines Vines and Trying Times launched at, and about a fourth of what I thought the soundtrack would do.
It opened second to R&B singer Maxwell who has not had a product since 2001. He sold 316,000 units, making Hannah Montana’s career look even more uncertain.
Cyrus came on the scene as a clone to Hilary Duff, whose show Lizzie Mcguire left the Disney stable two years before Hannah Montana bowed in 2006. January of 2009 Duff was released from her Hollywood Records contract.
In 2007 Cyrus’ tour sold 69 cities out in less than an hour. Her upcoming 45 cities tour has tickets available for every show five weeks after initial sale. Is this the beginning of the end of Cyrus’ career? She recently signed for a fourth season of Hannah Montana. She is filming The Last Song. The Hannah Montana Movie, opening with about $45,000, is still in the box office top 10 for 2009.
Only 137,000 units of her new CD. Questions are – is she as popular as ever but with the current economic conditions, people are listening to the songs on YouTube and other sites and foregoing purchasing. Are downloads higher, thus reducing initial CD sales? Or has Miley Cyrus lost the publics’ eye? Have her fans outgrown her as they get older. Have Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez replaced her in the hearts of Tweens?
She’s had two skanky magazine pictorials – Elle and Vanity Fair (blamed Annie Leibovitz for that one). Yet at 16 and one-half, Miley Cyrus has made $400,000 per day since she was 14 and is on track to make $500,000 per day this year.
Yet she’ll take a television gig for several days that pays only $5,000. Most teenage girls would feel the mall more important than that check – could be why Cyrus is making $500,000 per day and your 16 year old is not!
LET’S RUN DOWN THIS YEAR’S GOLD (platinum)
Hannah Montana movie
Hannah Montana movie soundtrack
Filming Last Song
Tons of Radio Disney promotions, also featured radio tour promotion
Book – Miles to Go
Deal ($$$$) with Walmart
Fall tour ($$$$$-) – worries me it is not sold out yet. If Bruce Springsteen can do it in his late 40s, why can’t Cyrus at 16? Different economic times though.
Signs for Hannah Montana on Deck – 4th season ($$$$+)
Hannah Montana 3 soundtrack
T-shirt and poster sales at concert (does she get a cut of popcorn and sodas?) ($$$$+)
Miley Cyrus may be on track to steal James Brown’s title as the hardest working man in show biz. Thank goodness she’s a girl. She’s only 16; with her earning power, she could buy a few countries.
So is this the sort of person you want your children emulating? Oh, did I mention still has family values – or at least that’s what her PR machine projects.
For about a week Radio Disney has been hyping it’s exclusive premier of songs from the Hannah Montana 3 soundtrack, available in a week.
Only one problem with that Radio Disney exclusive – all the songs are already available on YouTube. As I Tweeted a friend, why go out and pay for a CD when you can listen to it on YouTube, MySpace, a myriad of online radio stations? Is it that important to say you have it on your iPod? Listening to it right now on an excellent stereo with world famous speakers. Sounds fabulous – all from a computer. Not available for a week. Probably could find Demi Lovato Here We Go Again on YouTube. Maybe even the Bandslam soundtrack or I Love You Beth Cooper soundtrack.
My Hannah Montana 3 soundtrack prediction? Billboard #1 right out of the box on July 19. Probably sell 700,000 to 800,000 units, double what Jonas Brothers’ Lines Vines and Trying Times did – and it isn’t a Miley Cyrus CD; Hannah Montana.
No YouTube video on Bandslam, but here’s the song list (I want anything featuring either Michalka sister as well as Vanessa Hudgens – finest vocalists of our time). Release date Aug. 11:
1. Rebel Rebel - David Bowie
2. Femme Fatale - Velvet Underground & Nico
3. I Want You To Want Me - I Can't Go On, I'll Go On (Featuring Aly Michalka)
4. What Heart - Oliver Future
5. Lovesick - 78 Violet (Featuring Aly & AJ)
6. Twice Is Too Much - Exist
7. Amphetamine - I Can't Go On, I'll Go On (Featuring Aly Michalka)
8. 24 Hours - Shack
9. Stuck In The Middle - The Burning Hotels
10. Young Folks - Peter, Bjorn & John
11. Someone To Fall Back On - I Can't Go On, I'll Go On (Featuring Aly Michalka)
12. Blizzard Woman Blues - The Daze
13. Everything I Own - I Can't Go On, I'll Go On (Featuring Vanessa Hudgens)
Ironic, Hannah Montana Volume 3 soundtrack is out two months before Miley Cyrus goes on tour. Demi Lovato’s Here We Go Again will come out a month into her tour (Ms. Lovato – I’m a marketing consultant, hint, hint). The work will premier on Radio Disney (of course) June 17 at 4 P.M Sonoran desert time and 7 p.m. East Coast time. Release date is set for July 21.
