are all in serious trouble.
Eminem's new album was bumped to 11/12/04. It will definitely being taking the top spot.
Now the best we can get is number 2. :(
-
damn you eminem! haha i like him tho but not nearly as much as vanessa.... i guess im not gonna buy his cd right away then
-
I doubt Vanessa will even be top 10. I predict a 15-25 entry...and Im being optimistic.
Eminem, Britney, Shania, and Toby Keith will take top 4.
And I predict...
Shania
Eminem
Britney
(I dont know much about Toby so he could be #4 or #2 or #3 :p )
-
I know, but it's fun to dream :D
-
The question is, "How do we get her as high as possible?"

Promote promote promote! :D

Yeah I was at Wal*Mart and they had a poster with the release info for the month. Em wasn't on there. But I didn't know about Shania's Greatest Hits being released that day too (along with Britney's). Ugh.
I know most of us have pre-ordered a few times but I know I will be picking up another copy or two on Tuesday.
-
How do you help? Tell anyone and everyone about it. Maybe buy a few extra copies. If you go to the store and her cd is not front center, move them.
(That sounds crazy but I have done it on a normal basis when I see my favorite artist hidden behind stacks of inferior cds :p )
-
Britney's Greatest Hits come out on the 9th too.
Sorry 'Nessa
-
Even releasing on the Friday, Em will blow out the entire top 10. He did last time, lol.
Kinda sucks, A&M is going to have to do some major promo between now and Tuesday for it to do anything next week besides be mid-teens...

which they wont.

If they had released it back in October, or even September, this wouldn't be an issue. Great going record label management. :x
-
well its too late now... *sigh* I just hope it does well...

It will! Have faith in Vanessa :o

How about a 'Carlton Case Contest,' or, 'A Case of Carlton Contest'. There are 30 cds to a case. You could participate as an individual or as a group. The individual or group that buys the most CDs, or cases of Cds, wins. The group that wins gets some prize(like maybe a chance to meet VC) or special status.
I mean come on. If you are going to be a NESSAholic, might as well be like an alchoholic and buy yourself a case. ;)

I still plan on buying three copies, but I'm afraid this CD is going to flop like "White Houses" has flopped. And don't say it hasn't, because it has.

How can anyone deny that it has flopped? The wrong single, at the wrong time. And yes, I think the CD will flop too (up against Britney and Em).

I reeeeally REALLY hate to admit it, but that's the absolute truth. *sigh* :(

Me too... Poor Nessa :(

I knew there were going to be diehard fans who would be like "What do you mean? WH hasn't flopped!" who were afraid to know the truth.
I, however, WAS surprised that my good buddy Claire joined in on singing WH with me in Math today. I was taken aback because I didn't think anyone else knew, or in Claire's case loved, that song besides me. Oh well.
WTS will pwn.

We can help it by giving interpretation assistance. Something sadly I haven't had the time to do. To show how much a work of art it really is.
With this record VC was growing as an artist in so many ways. She worked on lyrical ability, arrangement, and her own personal production abilities. You think VC rocks now, just wait.
Even if you don't like the music she came out with and the mixes she used you have to give props on the apparent progress as an artist she is making. As with any piece of art it reflexes not only who she is but also our culture. And it apparently does so. Artists don't come up with ideas completely on their own accord, rather the way they construct art depends partially on the ideas they are exposed to from other people around them. Some of her songs more than others do this. AWBTW sounds like objects of VC's mystical side. To me that is almost totally her. The subject matter sounds almost incoherent and to some maybe a bit crazy or insane. But so many very intelligent people have this HUGE mystical side to them. It is something of her own world, and her own genius; if not easily entered into.

I have seen a Britney commercial for her cd and Shania's no Vanessa, come on people get it out there. Didn't she have a Target commercial for BnN?
I want to see some promotion!!

I know. A&M is digging Vanessa's own grave.
Right now, my main concern is that there will be a 3rd CD.

No, Shania is no Vanessa, but the popular opinion is hardly ever an intellegent one.
Quite frankly, Britney is no Shania is no Vanessa, but we all know who's going to come out on top :roll:
-
I dunno i have high hopes for this new album, its pretty good!! You'd be surprise how things happen!!
-
Promotion or not Let, I wouldn't expect blockbuster first week sales, the fact that it leaked months ago will kill sales.
-
We should be the ones wishing and hoping that the album will have high record sales. We all know that Whitehouses really was'nt succesfull but that does not mean that Harmonium will too..
-
If people didn't hear White Houses then they don't know anything about Harmonium. Only fans will actually buy an artist's album without hearing any of the tracks.

right before the bell rang in music class i started playing WH on the piano and then when I walked into History Jordan goes "IN WHITE HOUSES...good job Lex" :D
-
Holy CRAP!! I just saw a commercial on MTV for "Harmonium" at Target!!
Yay!! Finally some promotion!!

Woohoo!!!!! :D
-
I have even seen it again since the last post. Not even an hour ago.
It was a few commercials after Britney's who's was after was it Ja Rule's?
-
Awesome!

Niceeeee! Finally!
-
Yay! We're competing.
I'm telling you, A&M should've made it released on October 19th. There are too many huge releases coming out this week.
Ja Rule, Britney, Eminem, Toby Keith, Shania Twain, some old guy who's a "classic" whose name I forget, etc.
A&M screwed VC over! But at least we're seeing signs of promotion.
-
I totally support taking VC's discs out of the back of the racks and moving them to the front of the row, even spreading out the copies so one is on the front of many different rows! (And yes, I also support taking the others' discs and putting something in front of them, jazz or classical perhaps, or even VC if there are enuff copies!) :wink:
-
Heck take a bunch of her cd's and stand at the door of the store and just say here buy a copy :wink:
Or better yet, when someone isn't looking take the cd and put it in there cart, that way when they get up to the check out counter, they will go, uh who's this, and will have no choice but to buy it :lol:
-
At Target they didn't even have it on the New Releases endcap. I had to move it. :wink:
They really didn't even have that many copies available. I doubt it already sold cause I was there early.
-
They had a TON at Best Buy and it was right in the front :D
-
Harmonium was mentioned numerous times on the radio today, woot!
-
w00t!
-

I just went to Best Buy and they had them on the endcap. Looks like they sold a few.

Can someone post the commercial?I reaaaally want to see it...
-
Im afraid for the cd-I have heard numerous reports of it not even being stocked in some stores. That will hurt her.

Nooo! Anyway Im still looking for Harmonium here in the Philippines!!!! It's so hard to find it! But what makes me mad is that the albums that were suppose to hit nov 9 there in america are here already except for Harmonium... :evil:
