@Double-U
What do you expect??
We're living in a country where it's possible to hold the peak position for weeks with something highly qualitative like a 'Burger Dance' oder moronic kids-songs about crocodiles...

C-lebrity went out to radio on September 9th in the US, although according to Entertainment Tonight it does not actually come out until tomorrow.

new album in top 5 is great! especially when we know that they are all (almost all) 60 year old men and that they're missing half of the original band including most loved member which is by far queen best known for. i really don't think who else could've done that! i don't think stones would make top 5 without jagger. qpr deserve that recognition!
Shame the single didn't do a bit better. I'm surprised the album has debuted so high as I wasn't expecting much in the way of public response given the low key advertising. I wonder will it climb next week or fall off the edge of the cliff?
Next week will be the reality check.
This week's figures include all the fans that will buy anything with the Queen name in every possible format (including the ones from across Europe who want to get it cheaper), and next week will show the opinion of the general public.
Top 10 will mean there are actually people who are buying the album for the music instead of blind loyalty, and anything beyond top 40 means the general interest in new "Queen" material without Freddie is practically non-existent.
Personally I'm guessing something around #30 with a sales of few thousand copies, which isn't exactly worthy of Queen's legendary status, but enough to keep the Brian-worshippers happy. ;)

I expect it to drop fast, but not that fast.
The CD is still #15 and CD / DVD #13 on play.com
I predict that it will fall to #9

Yea I'd be tempted to agree with a small fall, outside the top 10 maybe 12 or 13. All the die hards will have picked it up in the first week, perhaps when the tour gets to the UK it might see a small resurgence again?

If you want a gauge of what the diehards buy, the last couple of live albums with Freddie on them that didn't break the top ten would be a better indication. The fact that this Fred-less album debuted at # 5 says a lot more about the album's broader appeal than you're willing to acknowledge. There are not enough "brian worshippers" to push the album into the top 5. Do you remember how Another World charted? It wasn't top 5. I checked. #23. The Milton Keynes set and the Montreal set, both #20. In fact, I think Cosmos Rocks has charted higher than anything Queen-related since Made in Heaven nearly 13 years ago. That's nothing to sneeze at. All I'm saying is, try to be fair. I know its hard for everybody out there who were hoping for total failure because they've dared to carry on without the 17 years dead man, but try. For a Freddie-less Queen-something album 13 years after the last studio album, its doing pretty damn well. If you're intent on pissing on it and wishing its failure, at least don't be disingenuous about it's success.

Rather good, highest chart position of News of The World was only 4 in the UK.

Queen At the Bowl did apparently reach #20 in the charts, but I honestly don't know where Rock Montreal ended up.
Whether these are good comparisons to a studio album with all new material is up to everyone's personal choice, but you should remember than the Cosmos Rocks has more versions for sale. ;)
Like I said before, the severity of the album's fall in the charts is more telling than an individual ranking. I hope everybody keeps that in mind as well, instead of just quoting the peak in the charts.

so tero youre argument consists it only reached number 5 because only diehard queen fans who buy anything queen are the only ones who bought it.Well thats a really piss poor argument i mean metallica is number 1 i wonder how many non metallica fans bought that album.And this argument can be applied to when all of queen including freddie were releasing albums how many non queen fans bought innuendo or jazz.how many non queen fans do you know who have queens back catalogue no they all have the greatest hits.So dont give us its only diehard fans that bought it because its only fans diehard or other as you would say non diehard fans of queen who are going to buy a queen album.And one last thing you always try and make out that you're not biased and you're just arguing the otherside but every good piece of news about queen and paul rodgers you crap on and every bad piece of news like c-lebrity reaching number 33 you jump on and say you new it would fail and this proves that the songs are bad, and then wont acknowledge when they succeed like the album reaching number 5.
I think a follow up single of Call Me might add a boost to sales. It should sell steadily so long as they tour big.

What an awful idea for a single. "Call Me" might be good if you just want interest from country music fans but the mainstream will just ignore it.

Call Me is far and away the worst track on the album... I don't have the words to describe just how awful I think it is.
Also it is so non representative of the album that I don't see how it would help sales.
I think Time to Shine or Cosmos Rockin' would probably be the next singles.
