Entries added to musicsalestracker

lordbalfor — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 06:40:04 GMT

Just an FYI, I've logged on to musicsalestracker and added several of Katherines' albums to be tracked with the intention of seeing what affect her weekly appearances on DWTS has on US music sales on Amazon.com.

Here's the URL:

http://www.musicsalestracker.com/track.php

Once bring the webpage up you can enter her name in the "search by artist or title" box and hit the "search musicsalestracker" button. After the albums come up, simply click on the album links to see the sales numbers. Tracking is NOT retroactive so numbers will only start showing up from the time I entered the amazon URL's. Note too that it only show sales from the various Amazon sites - NOT music sales overall.

I wish I'd thought to do it earlier (sorry).

Finally, note that musicsalestracker is apparently going away some time in May so this is not a long-term tracking method, but we'll get some info out of it before that. Hopefully we'll see jumps after each appearance on the show.

Ian Short — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:06:54 GMT

Hi Katherine,would you please please consider recording JERUSALEM on your next album,it is my favourite hymn and I also consider it to be the ENGLISH National Anthem,I know your Welsh but I`m sure you`d be pleasing loads of fans if you were to record it!!!
Thanks Katherine....
Love Ian..xx:):D

Bring Me To Life. - 59p

oddjob_91 — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:44:52 GMT

Hi, I am sure that the majority of us have every song Katherine has ever done, but, for those who do not, on iTunes at the moment (06/04/2012), Katherine's rendition of Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life" is only 59p. I used to love the original for years, and then I heard Katherine's version, and I, personally, think that it is far better.

Daydream Question

styeffo — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 18:48:02 GMT

Hey Folks, long time no see......hope you all good.

I am just wondering if anyone can tell me if there is likely to be a new version of 'Daydream' any time soon, deluxe or other sort....

I am increasingly fed up of purchasing CD's and then having an enhanced one appear at the same price soon after.....

I feel time is ready to pick up 'Daydream' but don't want to fall foul again....

Thanks

Stef

Hi, All,

I find it very relaxing Listening to Katherine Singing - Bruno Mars - 'Talking to the Moon' (see KJ News 30th Sept' 2011) with only the Pianist to accompany Her - Beautifully Sung I must say (perhaps an addition to a forthcoming CD ?).

Cheers, Les :)

Daydream Album

keith39 — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 21:56:05 GMT

Can anyone yet provide a track listing for the 'Daydream' album ? Amazon aren't showing it, and HMV are showing completely the wrong tracks !!

Very frustrating !

Katherine on vinyl?

oddjob_91 — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 13:48:59 GMT

Hi all.

I was just wondering if anyone knows if any of Katherine's albums or singles have been released on vinyl, as I would like to have one framed and on my wall.

Les — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:00:17 GMT

Hi, Everyone,

Just come across this fabulous version of - O' Holy Night - sung by Nathan Pachelo & Katherine Jenkins and its a free download - type in the 'google' box http://soundcloud.com/waltdisneyrecords/nathan-pachelo-o-holy-night (note this http does not work?) so just use the google box and its the first item on the page.

I rather like this version - it is different to the Michael Bolton & Katherine Jenkins version, Hope you like it (I must admit that it is the first time I have heard Him sing).

Cheers, Les :):)

Duet with Semino Rossi

susisch — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:11:02 GMT

Hi,

German fan here. Just stumbled across a commercial of this horrible horrible German Schager/oldie musician who rereleased his last record this week with two new songs. Including a song with Katherine titled "Musik meines Herzens". Just listened to it and it is a really bizarre, soppy song in English, German and Spanish language. So embarrassing that Katherine is on his record. This guy has a horrible reputation here, only grandmas like him. Of course, I know that Katherine's first Warner record flopped here and the new one hasn't even been released here,but I doubt recording a duet with this type of artist would help her to become more credibly popular here. So sad. You should check the song out. What be interesting to hear what you think about that music from a non-German type of view....the album is called "augenblicke".

Just a weird thing overall, oh well..... :w00t:

Ave Maria

ElMystico — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:35:17 GMT

Ave Maria on Daydream; sounds a lot tome like the opening of the song Everlasting Love; anyone know if this is deliberate?

Daydream- Japanese Version

Hi everyone,

I saw that the japanese version of daydream has been released and I was wondering what the extra track/tracks may be? Does anyone have it- I remember Katherine tweeting about recording an extra track and when I looked on HMV Japan it seems 15 tracks were listed and I'm curious about whats on it.

'A FLOWER TELLS A STORY' WINNING VIDEO

Tricia — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 18:45:40 GMT

Hi Everyone

I've put this on this Thread already but I think this Video deserves more recognition. Personally I cried my eyes out when I heard the song on 'Daydream' but to watch this Video well, you'll see what I mean!

Congratulations to Kris Koster. You've done an incredible job!!!!!!!

This is from the 'News' page:-

A FLOWER TELLS A STORY VIDEO COMPETITION - WINNER ANNOUNCED

Fri, 11 November 2011

Last week the video competition, challenging you guys to make a video for Katherine’s remembrance song “A Flower Tells A Story”, closed.

We’re excited to announce, that after much deliberation, Katherine has picked Kris Koster as the winner of the competition!! His winning video will be premiered on BBC2’s ‘Something For The Weekend’ on Sunday, but if you can’t wait you can watch it HERE online.

Thank you to everyone who entered; so much work went in to producing some truly fantastic videos

Help-Katherine has vanished!

Premiere04 — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:23:10 GMT

Hello

I was out at various supermarkets last weekend.I looked at their record sections and this is what I found (or didn't find!)

Morrisons-no Katherine albums

Asda-one copy of "Sweetest Love"only.

Tesco-a few copies of "One Fine Day" only.

Sainsbury-no Katherine albums

Bear in mind,this is the weekend before Christmas,when more albums are likely to be sold off the shelves than at any other time.It is disheartnening in particular to see no sign of "Daydream".

Katherine's absence is all the more striking when one notes that other Classical-Crossover stars are prominently represented eg.Alfie Boe,Andre Rieu,Andrea Bocelli,Il Divo.They are all still flying in the Top 30."Daydream" languishes at No.88.

I know how much it means to Katherine that "Daydream" is a success,and she has worked hard to publicise it on TV but without it being properly displayed in the shops(even in their special offers sections if not the chart section)this is an uphill struggle.:crying:

I think the album may have been released a little to early (October 10th) to be a big hit this Christmas....and unlike for the other named stars,I have seen no TV commercials for it.Perhaps if the album had been released nearer to the commencement date of her tour (in early January) that too would have helped sales?

I would be interested to read other people's views.:)

Justice for "Daydream"

Premiere04 — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 15:23:56 GMT

Hello Everyone

The Official Chart Company and Classic FM have both denied "Daydream" a place in their classical charts.I think this is totally wrong and feel it is likely to adversely impact on album sales.:w00t:

Only 60% of tracks need to be "classical" for an album to qualify.As "Daydream" has 13 tracks,this means a minimum of eight to be admitted.I accept "Your Silhouette", "Can't Slow Down" and "Break It To My Heart" are essentially pop ballads...but the other tracks are either sung or orrchestrated in a manner which have been accepted as "classical" in previous instances.Even Laura Wright's album of folk songs topped the classical charts recently-so there should be no quibbling over "Black Is The Colour" or "Carrickfergus" and the other tracks are the sort of music which has been staple fayre for these charts for many a year.

This matters because:

a) These charts are,in themselves,excellent promotion for the albums which feature,generating sales and publicity long after an album has left the generalist charts.

b) Classic FM gives prominent publicity to top albums which are admitted.Compare the front cover of Hayley Westenra and big article and pics in "Classic FM Magazine" a couple of months ago with the absence of any referenece to "Daydream" in the latest edition (apart from a "Daydream Tour" advert).

c)"Daydream's" absence denies Katherine a nomination for a 2012 Classic Brit,which otherwise surely would have followed.

I think a serious error has been made by the chart compilers...one which may well have denied the album a Top 5 place in the generalist chart and an error which will continue to adversely impact on sales.

I am writing to the chart compilers about this.I will let you know the gist of any replies received.;)

NEWS FROM KATHERINE
ALL NEWS
KATHERINE ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM 'DAYDREAM'
Katherine announces the release of a brand new album 'Daydream'! Read the full press release...

London, 01 August 2011

Katherine Jenkins, the record-breaking multi platinum selling mezzo soprano, today announces the release of her eighth studio album. Planned for an October 17th 2011 release on Warner Bros Records, Daydream sees Katherine return to her musical roots.

Her most personal album to date, it draws together music and songs she loves from across classical, traditional, folk and easy pop that have inspired her over the course of her life.

Recorded in Los Angeles and London in spring this year, Katherine has once again teamed up with John Shanks in the U.S (credits include Take That & Westlife and Katherine’s hit 2010 single Tell Me I’m Not Dreaming), and Simon Franglen in London (credits include Barbra Streisand, Céline Dion and the Oscar nominated soundtrack to James Cameron’s Avatar).

Capturing what audiences love about Katherine – her astonishing vocal range, her championing of great songs, always willing to test new ground – Daydream reflects on the exciting stage that she now has reached in her life and career.

Stand out tracks on the album include the stunning Shanks produced Break It To My Heart, a deeply moving interpretation of the Celtic classic Black Is The Colour, I Dreamed A Dream from Les Misérables rarely performed in French, a brand new composition of Ave Maria and Katherine’s stirring tribute to servicing men and women through the ages A Flower Tells A Story.

With album sales in excess of 5 million copies and now with a global fan base since the release of her biggest selling album, 2009’s Believe, which went Platinum in many countries across the world, the record reflects her global success and signals the start of the next stage of her life.

Having reached a whole new audience in the UK as a judge on two seasons of ITV1’s hit entertainment show, Popstar to Operastar and starring in last years Christmas Special of Dr Who, assured and confident, this album shows Katherine at her very best.

Daydream, is a gift to her fans, family and friends – at home and all over the world.

Day Dream

dgulian — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 05:52:03 GMT

Well I have all of the cds out. I have listenened to this one quite a bit in the last 2 days and I find something lacking. It just does not seem to be fitting to KJ style and class. I may be way off but I am dissapointed in it. I am sure I will hear on this one but that is how it strikes me.... In fact since the move to Warner there seems to be a slow change. I am glad I got all the first ones. There seems to be a change in her inner enjoyment of doing the music.........I hope I am wrong. But....:unsure:

Hello

Info. re total sales of "Believe"( all versions) shows 181,000 UK sales in 2009 and 103800 in 2010.This makes Katherine just 15,000 sales short of the award of a platinum disc as of 1/1/2011.I would estimates that the figure would now be nearer 10,000,something which will surely be achievable over the next few weeks.We can look forward to some good news;):)

Can anyone help me please. My father is ill and planning for the future, he wants his final song to be Its Time To Say Goodbye. Can you tell me if this song has been released in English and if so what cd it is on. If anyone knows the answer could they please send me a PM. Thankyou for taking time to read my message.

Why does Katherine sound different...

Hannah1990 — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 16:01:40 GMT

Why is there a difference between the way Katherine sounds on albums compared to live performances?

Non receipt of CD

Anne Maskell — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:28:00 GMT

I pre-ordered the CD and have received an e-mail to say that my CD has been dispatched form the warehouse. That was sent on 6th October. Still not received. Very annoyed to say the least. If I had pre-ordered from Amazon it would have been with me on Monday. I could even have bought it in HMV yesterday.

Unfortunatley you can't reply to the e-mail. I don't know who to complain.

DAYDREAM - TWITTER CAMPAIGN

Tricia — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 13:14:12 GMT

Hi Everyone

Warner have organized a campaign on Twitter to really give 'Daydream' some extra publicity. This is from the Home page:-

'Katherine will premiere her upcoming album ‘Daydream’ today.

You will be able to hear a full pre-release stream of ‘Daydream’ at http://daydream.katherinejenkins.co.uk. However, the album will only be unlocked when the hashtag #kjdaydream has been tweeted 10,000 times. You’ll need to work together to help ensure that the 10,000 tweets mark is reached as quickly as possible.

Head over to http://daydream.katherinejenkins.co.uk and start tweeting #kjdaydream to reveal the album.

Fri, 07 Oct 2011'

This is how it works:-

The hashtag only counts once per tweet (so saying it lots of times in one tweet will only be counted once).
You can send as many tweets as you want. Each time you tweet the hashtag it will increase the score.
Retweets also count so get people to retweet it too.

Let's see how quickly we can get to 10,000! Go to Twitter now!

Katherine's Concerts

floridasalad — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 19:38:22 GMT

I love classical and opera music, and I am a keen singer. At school, I used to get teased a lot for my musical tastes, because I am also quite old fashioned. This used to really upset me, but then I started listening to Katherine and found that classical and opera music doesn't have to have the old fashioned, stuffy image. Whenever she appears in concert or on tour, she always dresses cool but classy. I feel completely relaxed listening to her, and I love the way she engages with her audience.

Sorry, I could ramble on all day about how amazing Katherine is, but I won't. Instead, I'll finish up by saying that I've never been to any of her concerts, but I am saving up to go, (My friends at school think I'm mad!) I want to know what it's like to go to one of her concerts, and so I ask any die hard fans like myself to comment. Is it worth saving up for? :unsure: I think so, but I want to see what others think.:D
