"27 RENT WARNER BROS. 16,982"

This is for 32.29% of this weeks sales. I believe that 100% of the numbers will be in Tuesday or Wednesday. It should go to sell around 52,500 copies this week.

EDIT -------------------------------------------------------

"37 RENT WARNER BROS. 48,061"

The CD sold 48,061 copies to be at number 37 for the week that ended on 11/28.

Good sign. And the big music selling companies haven't report yet.

Well #27 isn't the official number.

I have followed HITS DAILY DOUBLE for years now. Their final numbers are in late Tuesday afternoon.

The numbers fluctuate a lot over monday and tuesday.

Also, keep in mind that the Hits Daily Double numbers are just an estimate and often differ from the official Soundscan figures by thousands of copies. Someone on a pop music board I moderate has access to a lot of Soundscan data, so I'll definitely ask him for the official numbers on Wednesday morning.

I was pleased.

I love the song and have noticed that the majority of the folks that don't like it aren't fond of gospel in the first place. I also think it'a a weak song for Rosario, Anthony and Jesse , but that it showcased Tracie, Wilson., Idina, Adam and even Taye. To hear them just sing out of character was such a treat, and everyone I know that has heard it, and that's no small number, loves it too.

{EDIT}I must be tired b/c I meant to post this on the Love Heals thread lol.
