Josh Groban "Noel" News Flashes!

Josh surely does have lots to smile about!! Not only is his "Noel" Christmas CD everywhere No. #1 but he is #1 everywhere! If you did not see him in performance at last night's "Christmas Tree Lighting in Rockefeller Center" you really missed a fantastic performance. More to blog on that shortly but until then, read these great stats:

Groban's 'Noel' tops U.S. album chart
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28 (UPI)

Josh Groban's holiday CD, "Noel," is No. 1 on the U.S. album chart this week, Billboard.com reported Wednesday.

"Noel" is the first Christmas-themed album to top the chart since Kenny G's 1994 offering, "Miracles," the Web site noted.

Groban Gets Oprah Bounce, Jordin Sparks Doesn't Fly

The Grinch might be stealing Christmas from music retailers, but thanks to Josh Groban and Oprah, there's still some singing in Whoville.

For the sales week kicked off by Super Tuesday—the release date before Thanksgiving when record labels typically schedule their big guns—the figures were abnormally bad, with only one Top 10 bow and a seven-week-old album topping the charts. Still, that album, Groban's Noël, can thank last week's performance on The Oprah Winfrey Show for driving it past Alicia Keys and into the number one spot.

Noël crowned the Billboard 200 by selling 405,000 copies for the week ended Sunday, according to SoundScan numbers released today.

The holiday disc, featuring Groban's take on "Silent Night," "O Come All Ye Faithful" and other wintery classics, originally debuted in the 10 spot in mid-October. The Oprah-powered sales surge also helped reenergize Awake, Groban's previous album from last year. In its second week back on the charts, Awake jumped 42 spots to 146.

Groban rides the holiday tide to No. 1
Album sales were up nearly 20% for Thanksgiving week, the official beginning of the holiday shopping frenzy. The natural recipient of all that Christmas-minded store traffic was Josh Groban, whose Noel sold 405,000 (up from 223,000 the previous week) to capture the No. 1 position on the Billboard chart in its seventh week of release. (A well-timed appearance on Oprah, the nation's premier dispenser of middle-of-the-road entertainment, didn't hurt either.)

After seven weeks on the chart, Josh Groban's holiday set "Noel" finally overtakes The Billboard 200 at No. 1. The 143/Reprise album ascends 2-1, selling 405,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. The 81% increase was fuled in part by his surprise appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" last week.

"Noel" is the first Christmas-themed set to top the chart since Kenny G's 1994 album "Miracles," and the 405,000 units marks Groban's best sales week ever. ...more...
