From Number 1 To Nowhere: Celine Dion Falls Off Billboard

Celine Dion‘s new album ‘Courage’ has landed the biggest chart fall in history for an album debuting at Number One on Billboard.

A week ago, the Canadian singer topped the Billboard 200 chart with her comeback collection, selling 116,000 equivalent units. Of that sum, almost all were pure sales, as the set actually sold 109,000 physical copies (boosted by a bundle offer tying albums to tickets for Dion’s Courage World Tour). This week, the album fell out of the top 100.

Sales plunged 95% as the ticket bundles were counted. “Courage” sold around 3,400 copies. With streaming of the album or its tracks, hitsdailydouble.com and Buzz Angle Music had it up to around 5,600 copies.

Amazon.com is listing the Celine CD at number 27.

Last week, Billboard issued new rules for merchandise album bundles.
