...here in Ireland.
She missed the Irish Top 100 in her first week, and has failed to generate attention anywhere in Dublin or Ireland in that matter.
Her single Call On Me (both editions) are dissapearing off the shelves, but not in a good way: people arent buying them, and its going off the charts.
I checked yesterday, all I could find was a tiny 'Janet' section with her deluxe album and 3 copies of 20YO, and her 'greateset hits' album.
I cant beleive this. She really SUCKS big time when it comes to promotion in Europe. I didnt get ANY free poster with my purchase. I dont have 1 poster of janet at home, simply because they are so rare to find in Europe.
Any more news in other countries?

Jermaine, try www.pushposters.com. They have a few nice Janet posters there at reasonable-ish prices.... No La Toya ones though :-( |

The ones I know about:
USA #2
Canada - #4
Japan #7
Netherlands #34
Australia #55
Sweden: #57
UK #63
Ireland - Failed to chart
Belgium - Failed to chart
Apparently she sold 57k in the rest of the world (bar US)... and since 24k of those were in Japan last week, that means she sold around 33k in Europe and Canada! Ouch.

She's #2 on the United World Chart and has sold 353,000 copies in one week.
Although unfortunately, it's only down from there.

With the success of "Call On Me", this album is going nowhere but up. I can tell you that many of my friends are just waiting until pay day to go buy the CD, that doesn't mean they aren't going to buy it. |

That's awfully high for a foreign artist... as is #7 on the actual charts rather than the foreign charts... In New Zealand she charted at #3 on the Heatseekers charts which is the top 10 albums that haven't reached the top 40 yet. |

This will sink faster than the Lusitania! For a lead single from such a high-profile actress, "Call On Me" was NOT a success... |

This album stinks worse than Janet's work-out clothes when she was obese. |

You'll see when the charts come out next week. It's already #1 on the R&B chart, and don't forget that Jermaine Dupri doesn't WANT this to be a successful pop album. It's supposed to be a strictly R&B album and he isn't aiming to impress the pop audience. "Call On Me" -WAS- a success, it topped the R&B chart and did well on the digital chart, R&B airplay chart, and even the pop chart. |

Given his producer fee - I'm pretty sure Virgin will be wanting this to do well on the "pop" charts. However the billboard Hot 100 is not just a "pop" chart and #26 on the digital chart is nothign to write home about. The album may hang around for a couple more weeks in the top 10 but that'll be it.... |

20YO's sales would be BRILLIANT for a debut artist, or a small artist, or latoya, but they are NOT to Janet standarts.
I love 20YO and DAMITAJO, but honestly, I cant see this CD going anywhere in Europe. This is her fault however, because she is not PROMOTING IN THE EU!!
If she doesnt tour in EU, I'm just gonna give up on her, I think. I'll always enjoy her music, but I wont support her as an artist (eg: vote, get her to n1, buy many copies of an album...)

"Call On Me" -WAS- a success, it topped the R&B chart and did well on the digital chart, R&B airplay chart, and even the pop chart. why does JD hate pop so much? Mimi wouldn't have been half the hit it was if it didn't lure in the pop audience that hadn't bought anything since Butterfly. I doubt We Belong Together would've spent 14 weeks at #1 if pop fans didn't fall in love with it as well. Timbaland and Pharrell know how to do it right, instead of going on a "ewww, I don't want whites buying this", they are collaborating with people like Nelly Furtado and Gwen Stefani. JD's issues with pop/gay fans will not help, but only hurt Janet. I hope she avoids him next album around, and he is a raging hypocrite because Mimi owed much of it's success to the fact that POP RADIO embraced Mariah for the first time since the late 90's. Janet's success has always relied on the fact that she had millions of POP fans. None of her albums would've sold anywhere as much as they did if she wasn't pop-friendly. Rhythm Nation and janet. would've been niche, not blockbusters. |

about Call On Me hitting #1 on the r&b chart, if anything, that shows just how out of touch Clear Channel programmers are. The song wasn't even in the top 200 on iTunes the week it first hit #1 on r&b, that my friend, is NOT a hit. If the fans aren't buying it, but radio is playing it, it shows how out of touch CC stations are, just like when they won't play songs that are in the top 10 on iTunes, shows they are out of it.

Even if mr. Dupri is aiming for the urban audience with this album, the final sales of it is what'll still matter and no, it won't rise this coming week. It'll most likely sell around 90-100k in its second week, if not less.

It also reached #1 on the single sales chart. That means that fans chose to buy the actual single, rather than order it online. And in all honesty, you can't really go by iTunes charts. I download all my music for free, and I'm sure many other fans of COM did the same. Clear Channel Programming does not impact the sales charts at all, and it doesn't really impact the Billboard Charts in general. |

But iTunes/downloads sales are actually HIGHER than actual physical single sales! Physical single sales in US are generally bullshit... Madonna had the number 1, 2 and 3 spot earlier this year!
