    I would guess around # 10.

    I’m thinking more like #4. This will be accomplished by there not being an onslaught of new releases in the same week and less overall record sales in the industry.

    If it sells anything around the numbers of “Little Honey” it is likely to chart higher than that one, which is her only Top 10 album – for now.

    I so hoped for a Top 5 album this time. There were so few high profile releases last week.

    A few thousand less bought this than “Little Honey.” Where did those people go?

    Oh well, it’s a small thing right now.

    However, Lucinda and management should realize that if she ever puts out an album in January it’s almost a guaranteed Top 5, if not #1. It’s always a slow release month with low sales.

    IIRC, the first “hard” target date for the release of Blessed was 1.11.11, but that date slipped, I believe due to the decision to have Bob Clearmountain do the re-mix. I think there were other issues as well (cover art, packaging, etc.). I’m sure TO can clarify…

    (I was hoping for top 10)

    The album charted at #40 here in the Netherlands and stayed for six weeks in the top100. (That actually surprises me because I personally don’t know anyone here that knows Lucinda)

    40 -> 45 -> 48 -> 46 -> 86 -> 96 was the chartrun.
