I know that HDD counts album sales from different sources as they update so there is every chance that the album could increase from this number.

There will likely be another update in a few hours so I'll keep everyone updated. I hope it rises from this position though otherwise the album won't last very long at all.

Just to remind everybody, the album started last week at #7 with sales of 33,000. I think it'll be around #25 with sales of around 13,000.

The album is still within the Amazon top 20 chart and I'm sure physical CD sales are doing quite well, so what do you guys think?

Great news everybody! Somehow, the album has climbed dramatically since HDD's last update and the final numbers has '24 Karat Gold' at #24 with sales of approximately 12,000. Now, I think you can gather from the quote above that my prediction was pretty accurate!
Anyway, I think that is a VERY respectable second week for an album from an artist of her age and there is also the chance that it could be even higher on the Billboard 200 as last week there was a major difference between HDD and SoundScan.

I have a feeling that the first update from HDD takes into account digital sales as I know that '24 Karat Gold' is no longer selling many digital copies so that is my theory anyway.

So fantastic news, and I think we should all be very pleased with this. Hopefully the album will see a few more weeks on the charts after all!
