The Charts Update (December 26, 2009)
BLACKsummers’night saw a fall on the Billboard 200 charts the reporting week of December 26, 2009. But there is good news, the album is less than 125,000 units to 1 million units/albums sold which equals platinum status. Sometime between the months of late January and late February the album will be there. On U.S. airplay charts, BAD HABITS still holds the top position on the Urban AC charts. If you would like to see it remain there, as well as all of Maxwell’s current singles staying on the charts make that request.
On Billboard Critics’ Top 10 Albums of 2009, Maxwell’s BLACKsummers’night tied in the #9 position with Grizzly Bear’s Veckatimest. To see how the list was constructed click here.
