[美專] 懷舊女郎奪冠 大亨小傳原聲帶緊追
■Lady Antebellum 新作《Golden》首周以16.7萬張摘冠，成為該團第三張冠軍專
輯（鄉村榜亦為冠軍）。不過，雖然首周銷量高出業界原先預估的15萬張，但此
次新作的首周數據仍遠不如前兩張原創專輯，2010年的《Need You Now》及2011
年的《Own The Night》首周分別開出48.1萬及34.7萬的佳績。
■「大亨小傳」（The Great Gatsby）電影原聲帶表現強勁，首周以13.7萬張佳績
空降亞軍，原先預測數字為 9.5萬張。特別在數位銷售方面賣出11.9萬張，刷新
了原聲帶的單周數位銷售紀錄，先前的最高紀錄是EP《Glee: The Music, Journey
to Regionals》(2010)的10.6萬張。
過去 Baz Luhrmann 執導的電影，原聲帶成績也相當出色，1996年的《羅密歐與
茱麗葉》最高攀上#2，2001年的《紅磨坊》首周登上#5，並在三周後攀上#3。
■由 Miranda Lambert 領軍的團體 Pistol Annies，第二張專輯《Annie Up》以
8.3 萬張登上#5，首周銷量較首張專輯《Hell on Heels》（#5）的4.4萬幾近倍
增。
■Rod Stewart 轉投環球體系 Capitol 廠牌的首張新作《Time》，發行首周以5.2
萬張登上#7。這是他睽違12年的原創專輯，且是他自1979年《Blondes Have More
Fun》奪下冠軍以來，排名最高的原創專輯。
Stewart的前一張原創專輯，是2001年由 Atlantic 廠牌發行、改走軟調 R&B 風
味的《Human》，市場反應冷淡，首周僅登上#50，成為他在華納體系下的最後一
張作品。隔年他轉投 BMG 旗下 J Records，便以成功登上#4的翻唱專輯《It Had
to Be You: The Great American Songbook》再創樂壇生涯第二春，在美國獲得
300萬張的銷售認證，2002～2010年間發行的七張翻唱專輯全數打進Top 4。
Stewart 去年跳槽環球體系，由 Verve 廠牌發行聖誕專輯《Merry Christmas,
Baby》，首周以11.7萬空降#3，至今在美賣出85.8萬張、榮獲白金銷售認證，為
去年度最賣座的聖誕專輯。
Lady Antebellum Scores Third No. 1 Album, 'Gatsby' Debuts Strong at No. 2
Keith Caulfield, Los Angeles | May 15, 2013 1:45 PM EDT
■"Now 46," Pistol Annies, Rod Stewart also notch Top 10 debuts this week.
Country trio Lady Antebellum earns its third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200
chart as its new "Golden" debuts with 167,000 sold, according to Nielsen
SoundScan.
The album sold slightly better than initially forecast: A week ago, industry
sources suggested that "Golden" was to move around 150,000 copies. But, the
album performed well over the weekend, thus granting it a more robust debut.
Blame Mother's Day gift shopping for some of that sales bump, as the holiday
fell on the final day of the tracking week, Sunday, May 12.
"Golden" follows Lady Antebellum's previous No. 1s "Own the Night" (2011) and
"Need You Now" (2010). Their first set, a self-titled effort released in
2008, debuted and peaked at No. 4. "Own the Night" started bigger than
"Golden" -- 347,000 when it was released in September of 2011. Before that,
"Need You Now," bolstered by its title track, launched with 480,000.
Starting strong at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 this week is the soundtrack to
the new movie "The Great Gatsby." The set charges in with 137,000 -- the best
sales week for a soundtrack in over a year. The last to sell more in a week
was "The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 and Beyond," when it entered at
No. 1 with 175,000.
"The Great Gatsby's" sales were overwhelmingly driven by downloads: Its
119,000 digital haul is the largest digital sales week for a soundtrack ever.
In turn, the set bows at No. 1 on the Digital Albums chart. The previous
digital record for a soundtrack was set in June of 2010 by the "Glee: The
Music, Journey to Regionals" EP with 106,000 downloads.
"The Great Gatsby," directed by Baz Luhrmann, opened in U.S. theaters on
Friday, May 10. Its soundtrack is an all-star affair, as it includes songs by
Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jack White, Fergie, Lana Del Rey and Sia, among others.
"The Great Gatsby's" sales debut is much higher than the 95,000 that it was
projected to sell a week ago. It would seem the film's strong integration of
music, and the movie's box office success over its opening weekend, were
clear drivers in the album's sales.
Two earlier soundtracks from Luhrmann-directed films also had great chart
success: 1996's "Romeo + Juliet" climbed No. 2, while 2001's "Moulin Rouge!"
reached No. 3, after debuting at No. 5 three weeks earlier.
At No. 3 on the Billboard 200 this week is the new "Now 46" compilation,
starting with 91,000. All of the regular, numbered, "Now" albums have reached
the top 10, and all but the first debuted in the top 10. "Now 45" entered at
No. 3 earlier this year with 87,000, while "Now 44" bowed at No. 2 last
November with 99,000.
Rounding out the top four is Michael Buble's To Be Loved, falling 2-4 with
84,000 (down 12%).
At No. 5 is country trio Pistol Annies, whose second album, Annie Up, debuts
with 83,000. The act comprises Ashley Monroe, Angaleena Presley and superstar
Miranda Lambert. The start for Annie Up almost doubles the launch of the
group's first album, 2011's Hell on Heels (44,000 at No. 5).
There's one more debut in the top 10 this week: Rod Stewart's "Time" clocks
in at No. 7 with 52,000. It's the legend's highest-charting studio album of
original material since -- believe it or not -- 1979, when "Blondes Have More
Fun" spent three weeks at No. 1.
Of course, Stewart has charted many albums since "Blondes," but everything
that reached the top six between then and now were either a Christmas set of
mostly oldies ("Merry Christmas, Baby," No. 3 in 2012), one of his many
successful covers collections released between 2002 and 2010, or a live album
("Unplugged. . . And Seated," No. 2 in 1993).
As for the other chart holdovers in the top 10 this week: Justin Timberlake's
The 20/20 Experience slips 3-6 with 66,000 (down 3%). Last week's No. 1,
Kenny Chesney's Life on a Rock, falls to No. 8 with 48,000 (down 68%), Blake
Shelton's Based on a True Story slides 6-9 with 38,000 (though it's up by
9%), and Bruno Mars' Unorthodox Jukebox is pushed back 8-10 with 32,000
(despite a 24% increase).
The latter title's gain can be owed in part to Mother's Day shopping, as it's
likely a set sure to appeal to moms. Same goes for Shelton's set at No. 9,
and just outside the top 10, P!nk's "The Truth About Love." It gains by 14%,
but falls 7-11.
Over on the Digital Songs chart, the entire top five are non-movers, led once
again by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us" (featuring Ray Dalton),
with 241,000 (down 8%). At Nos. 2-5: P!nk's "Just Give Me a Reason"
(featuring Nate Ruess) with 230,000 (down 10%), Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors"
with 168,000 (down 5%), Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" with 151,000 (up 4%)
and Rihanna's "Stay" (featuring Mikky Ekko) with 145,000 (up 4%).
Selena Gomez's "Come & Get It" jumps 9-6 with 143,000 (up 24%), while Imagine
Dragons' "Radioactive" is steady at No. 7 with 141,000 (up 5%). Icona Pop's
"I Love It" (featuring Charli XCX) falls 6-8 with 128,000 (down 5%) and Bruno
Mars' "When I Was Your Man" rises 10-9 with 115,000 (up 6%).
Closing out the top 10 is a new entry from Mariah Carey: "#Beautiful,"
featuring Miguel. It starts with 114,000 at No. 10 and marks her best sales
week for a song since 2009, when "Obsessed" arrived at No. 9 on Digital Songs
with 119,000. "#Beautiful" is the lead track from Carey's upcoming album, due
out this summer.
Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending May 12) totaled 5.53
million units, up 8% compared with the sum last week (5.11 million) and down
1% compared with the comparable sales week of 2012 (5.58 million). Year to
date album sales stand at 106.29 million, down 5% compared to the same total
at this point last year (112.31 million).
Digital track sales this past week totaled 24.26 million downloads, up less
than 1% compared with last week (24.17 million) and down 3% stacked next to
the comparable week of 2012 (24.96 million). Year to date track sales are at
506.75 million, down 3% compared to the same total at this point last year
(520.35 million).
Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2012 when: Adam
Lambert scored his first No. 1, as his second album, "Trespassing," arrived
atop the list with 77,000. Tenacious D's "Rize of the Fenix" was the
second-biggest debut, bowing at No. 4 with 49,000.
