I am obsessed with album sales of my favorite bands and rappers rather it be TOOL or Eminem. I know a few sites. Luckly one of the sites i look at has the sales for the top 50 albums in a week. You know billboard.com does not give the exact of every album unless you are a member.
Anyway i was looking in the archives of www.hitsdailydouble.com and i found out that Alyson Michalka and her sisters album sold 23,000 copies first week. Thats really not that bad but at the sametime not good if they want another album. Hopefully disney does not drop thme from the record label. I can't say i really dig any of aly and her sis is music but still you would think it would have done better. Oh well.
some articles on the disney record label are their also if you are into financial stuff.

DISNEY LOOKING AT SPINNING OFF RADIO ASSETS
Estimated $3 Billion in Holdings Include Stations, ABC News, ESPN, Radio Disney; Company Reportedly Has Plan with Fancy Name
July 12, 2005
The Walt Disney Company is considering spinning off its estimated $3 billion in radio stations and network assets and merging them with another radio company, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Disney has debated whether to keep its radio operations for years, but with the Michael Eisner on his way out and Robert Iger on his way in at the top of the company, some think action on this front could now be forthcoming.
Disney’s 71 radio stations (many in the Top 25 markets) and network, which reaches 4,500 affiliates and includes ABC News Radio, ESPN Sports Radio and Radio Disney, are said to generate around $700 million in annual revenue. But some Disney execs reportedly feel that owning radio at a time when the radio industry as a whole is faring poorly could hurt the company’s growth due to negative investor perception. If Disney were to spin off its radio assets, the theory goes, investors might view the company more favorably, which could buoy its stock price.
If Disney chooses to proceed with the spinoff, the Journal Reports, it will likely do so using a multi-step plan known as a “reverse Morris Trust” (we’ll just have to trust them on that). In this plan, Disney would first increase the radio unit’s debt load in order to extract cash. Then the company would spin off and merge it with another radio company of like size so that Disney shareholders end up with at least 50% of the new company’s combined equity. The arrangement would keep taxes to a minimum (again, we’ll just have to trust them on that).
Those companies likely in the running to be Disney’s radio mate (based on size, which is apparently critical to pulling off the whole reverse-Morris thing) are said to be Cox, Citadel, Entercom and Emmis.
According to the Journal, analysts value Disney’s stations at $1.5 to $1.75 billion, and the network at $1.25 to $1.5 billion.

It wasn’t quite Godzilla versus King Kong, but it was BIG, nevertheless. Yes, it was the battle of the Teen Queen and the Cowboy Hat all week... and it was neck-to-neck until the last minute. But Teen Queendom prevailed, and Hollywood’s Hilary Duff debuts at #1, with 200k sold. The Cowboy Hat didn’t do too shabbily, though, with Arista Nashville’s Brad Paisley debuting at #2, with 197k. Not much more for us to say on that front aside from a hearty “Yee-hah!”
“It’s a great first week showing for Hilary Duff, especially considering it’s a greatest hits package” says Virgin Entertainment Group’s Jerry Suarez. “It shows just how big a star she has become.” Hastings’ George Deahl, meanwhile, liked the Cowboy Hat: “Brad Paisley is really coming into his own,” says the retailer. “The set-up on this record was just phenomenal.”
The other notable debut this week is Volcano/ZLG’s 311 coming in at #5, with 91k. As for the rest: Island/IDJ’s Mariah Carey saw an 8% sales increase this week, rising to #3 from last week’s #4, with 109k. Capitol’s Now That’s What I Call Music 19 compilation drops two spots to #4, with 107k sold. A&M/Interscope’s Black Eyed Peas came in at #6, dropping one position at 82k, despite a 13% sales jump. Flip/Atlantic’s Staind drops from #1 to #7—angry intensity is still no match for Teen Queendom and Cowboy Hats—with 79k. Rounding out the bottom of the Top 10 are Warner Bros.’ Faith Hill at #8, with 73k; RCA/RMG’s Kelly Clarkson, who maintains #9, with 62k; and Def Jam South/IDJ’s Young Jeezy drops to #10, with 62k sold (thank goodness, since we’ve totally run out of Jeezy name jokes...).
One major change this week: Island/IDJ’s Killers saw a phenomenal 77% sales jump with 60k, enough to take them from #25 to #12, thanks to a limited-edition release.
Other notable debuts include Lava/Atlantic’s Click Five (nothing like cute boys in Beatle-do's to spike sales) at #15, with 52k; Victory’s Silverstein at #31, with 29k; and Aly & AJ (more Teen Queendom from Hollywood) hitting #40, at 23k.
Look out next week for a debut from Jim Jones... and that’s all, folks. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re off to drink some refreshing Kool-Aid...
