Greetings everyone! It's that time of year when Karen Carpenter's beautiful voice graces the airwaves all around the world for the holiday season. We'll be hearing "Merry Christmas Darling" and "There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays" on a daily basis... oh and it will be holiday heaven! The season also represents an increased amount of CD sales for Carpenters, primarily “Christmas Portrait.” Last year the album sold extremely well and made it to and new peak position of #114 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart. This year we aim at putting the album into the Top 100. The only way we can do this is if every single die-hard Carpenters fan gets involved. In order to get all the fans involved I have started a campaign to Put Christmas Portrait into the Top 100. It is headquartered at my website leadsister.com the URL to the campaign is leadsister.com/?page_id=597Please visit the campaign page and help us to get our cherished "Christmas Portrait" into the top 100. And please share the headquarters URL with everyone you know. Let's do it... Let's put "Christmas Portrait" into the Top 100 this year! |

Week 3 of our "Let's Put Christmas Portrait into the Top 100" is here. So far the start up is fairly slow. At this point in time there are about a dozen Christmas/Holiday albums in Billboard's Top 200 albums chart and surprisingly "Christmas Portrait" is not one of them. Last year the album made it all the way to #114 we can do it this year with a little push and a lot of teamwork from all of us. Please share the following URL with all your friends: leadsister.com/?page_id=597 this is the "Christmas Portrait" campaign headquarters. You can also visit us at Karen Carpenter Magazine to read up on some of the latest in the campaign: www.facebook.com/groups/321040037161/ |

If it's bought from the UK Amazon site, will it still count ?

Hello all! (first post)
I just checked and Christmas Portrait's Billboard 200 ranking is now @ #139.
Slow start or not, all of a sudden it seems conceivable to me Christmas Portrait could surpass last years' #114 ranking...
Question: Any idea what kind of sales numbers we're talking about to close the gap? 1000 units, 10k units, or???

We're finally hitting the homestretch and it looks like our goal is with in reach. This week "Christmas Portrait" has moved up to #115 up from 139 last week. That's a move of 24 spots. That is excellent. It is so close to the Top 100... I just know we can do this. Last year it made it up to #114 and that was the week after Christmas. In these last few days let's spread this thing and get people to purchase the album. Please share the following links for those who purchase online: Share the link to “Christmas Portrait” headquarters with all your friends: leadsister.com/?page_id=597Here you will find information on how we can move "Christmas Portrait" up the charts.. Here’s a direct link to “Christmas Portrait” on amazon.com: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002GHQ/ref=nosim/populasongsmu-20…and here’s the MP3 link: www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000W25AJC/ref=nosim/populasongsmu-20Just to clear up some confusion the purchase of the double disc collection “Christmas Collection” will not help get “Christmas Portrait” back on the charts. Only the purchase of “Christmas Portrait” will do the trick. ... also please check out my annual year list of Favorite Albums. You will notice the author is Randall Webb... don't worry as for my Favorite albums blog I use that name as a pen name. Here's the link: rock-music-more.blogspot.com/2013/12/rock-albums-xiii-favorite-albums-2013.htmlBest wished to all... Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

I've just ordered mine  I thought having a UK Amazon account would just confuse the issue and wouldn't allow me to order it, but it did. I won't get it for weeks, but it's my first Christmas present  |
