[bjork]

The Traveling Wilburys?

 

[Dan]

I've been on vacation, but The White Stripes' Icky Thump has been released, right? I don't see it on that list anywhere...

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Rhianna's album is pretty damned good. Ne-yo's isn't half bad either.

 

[QVT]

Wow, DT has sold almost 50 thousand copies. I'm impressed, in a sort of sick way.

 

[PS360]

Linkin park? Come on people!

 

[bud]

Rhianna's album is pretty damned good. Ne-yo's isn't half bad either.

i love that umberella song, the chorus is damn catchy.

ella ella ella

[Defcon]

I knew Nickelback were popular, but 5.5 million sold? Wow.

 

[QVT]

i love that umberella song, the chorus is damn catchy.

ella ella ella

Bury me deep. Wow.

 

[Meier]

Those Feist sales are quite impressive.

 

[Ynos Yrros]

i love that umberella song, the chorus is damn catchy.

ella ella ella

ella ellla ella

You listen to the lyrics, and then you hear that and watch the video, and go "WTF?". She should be singing about lucid dreams or sex on acid - that would fit.

Anyway, I'm extremely disapointed in Minutes To Midnight, and I'm sure that half of those people that bought the album will be as well. Linkin Park took a wrong direction in their career, become just anouther pop\rock band. They are as soft as my dick when I listen to their "apologize" song. The downfall from Hybrid Theory, on which every song is amazing, to Minutes To Midnight, which has 3 good songs, with crappy lyrics still, was sad to witness.

 

[suEcide]

Good to see Tool is still on the list.

 

[jamesinclair]

Do you mind trading in your billboard spreadhseet for the NPD games spreadsheet and posting that instead?

Anyway, I'm extremely disapointed in Minutes To Midnight, and I'm sure that half of those people that bought the album will be as well.

Way to speak for everyone! I think it's their best CD.

Linkin Park took a wrong direction in their career, become just anouther pop\rock band.

Because I think they matured away from what they used to be and changed their image. How are they "just another pop/rock band?" I can't think of many, if any, mainstream bands that have an album that sounds like Minutes to Midnight. You're telling me they weren't "just another rap/rock band" before? Come on now.

They are as soft as my dick when I listen to their "apologize" song.

Ah, well it's hard to listen to anyone who says "soft as my dick" to describe something. Also, there's no song called "Apologize" on the album. Do you mean "In Between"?

You don't like slow music or something? So it's "soft as my dick"? Have an open mind dude. Why do they have to put out yet another album that's heavy on guitar and rap metal? Meteora was panned by many for being too much like HT (it's easy to match every song on Meteora to another song on HT, in that they all sound very similar structured).

Yeah, it's slow, which is why it took me a few listens, but the melodies are fantastic, so I could care less.

The downfall from Hybrid Theory, on which every song is amazing, to Minutes To Midnight, which has 3 good songs, with crappy lyrics still, was sad to witness.

Ah, well I think every single song on MtM is amazing. As far as crappy lyrics go, every single Linkin Park album has never exactly been great for lyrical content. But you honestly don't think they've matured lyrically a little? They have some songs on the record that actually mean something, like "Hands Held High", which is about the war, or "The Little Things That Give You Away", which is about Hurricane Katrina and is in my opinion, the best song they've ever done. It's beautiful imo.

Not to sound old and out of the loop, but who's that with the first CD? Keith Toby? Never heard of him

I'm wondering about Lavigne Avril and Aguilera Christina myself. Who are they!?

I did say half .

Because I think they matured away from what they used to be and changed their image. How are they "just another pop/rock band?" I can't think of many, if any, mainstream bands that have an album that sounds like Minutes to Midnight. You're telling me they weren't "just another rap/rock band" before? Come on now.

I don't think that they sound exactly like the other bands, but I expected something harder from them. Their new look and music reminds me alot of U2.

Ah, well it's hard to listen to anyone who says "soft as my dick" to describe something. Also, there's no song called "Apologize" on the album. Do you mean "In Between"?

That was a really bad analogy. I did mean "In Between", it's not that I don't like soft music, I just don't like it in this edition (My December was amazing).

You don't like slow music or something? So it's "soft as my dick"? Have an open mind dude. Why do they have to put out yet another album that's heavy on guitar and rap metal? Meteora was panned by many for being too much like HT (it's easy to match every song on Meteora to another song on HT, in that they all sound very similar structured).

What I meant was, they went from really hard image, with lots of screaming, and provocative lyrics (most songs), to the more emo image of Meteora (Numb), to really soft sounds and lyrics of MtM.

Yeah, it's slow, which is why it took me a few listens, but the melodies are fantastic, so I could care less.

See, you have differrent taste. I would love to see them rocking and shouting. If only they had a song similiar to Feint or One Step Closer, I love those. Mike singing just doesn't cut it for me, he had a great flow, so IMO he should stick to rapping.

Ah, well I think every single song on MtM is amazing. As far as crappy lyrics go, every single Linkin Park album has never exactly been great for lyrical content. But you honestly don't think they've matured lyrically a little? They have some songs on the record that actually mean something, like "Hands Held High", which is about the war, or "The Little Things That Give You Away", which is about Hurricane Katrina and is in my opinion, the best song they've ever done. It's beautiful imo.

I used crappy, as in way overused. Too many bands and people now relate to the same stuff, also, I would rather hear them shout "You try to get the best of me GO AWAY!" than sing "Let me apologize...". They obviously matured lyrically, but they seem to be going
for what's popular, instead for what they want to. It looks as if they were manufactured.

 

[MIMIC]

Do you mind trading in your billboard spreadhseet for the NPD games spreadsheet and posting that instead?

??

If you're asking what I think you asking...sorry, I don't actually have an account (Billboard/SoundScan accounts are like $2,000 a year or something like that...usually offered for record labels and things of that nature). I get the sales from somewhere else.

 

[Barrage]

Fergie sold 2 Million? **** THAT

 

[medrew]

117 RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS STADIUM ARCADIUM 6,968 6,076 15 2,097,411

How's this on 2,097,411 LTD when double CD albums are counted as double the sales?

 

[White Man]

That thing is even more depressing than NPD charts.

 

[MIMIC]

How's this on 2,097,411 LTD when double CD albums are counted as double the sales?

A 2CD album only counts as a single sale.

 

[Fun Factor]

A 2CD album only counts as a single sale.

No, Soundscan counts it as two.
Still RHCP sold a million copies, which isn't bad.

Remember back in the 90's when an local/indie artist sold anywhere from 100,000-200,000 that would be considered low.

Total sales of each album to date:

1. KEITH*TOBY BIG DOG DADDY - 204,563
2 FABOLOUS FROM NOTHIN' TO SOMETHIN - 159,008
3 MCCARTNEY*PAUL MEMORY ALMOST FULL - 267,414
17 IGLESIAS*ENRIQUE INSOMNIAC - 44,690
26 DMX DEFINITION OF X: PICK OF THE L - 35,139
30 MARILYN MANSON EAT ME DRINK ME - 118,737
31 OSBOURNE*OZZY BLACK RAIN - 259,574
39 BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY STRENGTH & LOYALTY - 282,881
76 NINE INCH NAILS YEAR ZERO - 378,463
78 RUSH SNAKES & ARROWS - 179,278

OUCH
It wasn't so long ago that each & everyone of those artists would have a guaranteed million albums sold in a month.

 

[MIMIC]

No, Soundscan counts it as two.

SoundScan (which determines the sales) only count an album with multiple discs as one unit. The RIAA (which certifies an album) multiplies the number of discs in an album by the number units shipped to come up with the certification.

For example: Outkast's 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' sold approximately 5 million copies back at the end of 2004, but it was certified as diamond (10 million) because it was a double album.

 

[QVT]

It wasn't so long ago that each & everyone of those artists would have a guaranteed million albums sold in a month.

To be fair, Ozzy and Rush are old. After losing Randy Ozzy no longer mattered as much as he once did, and Rush played too much ****ing shit in the 90's. I say that of course, as one of the biggest Rush fans ever. I have snakes and arrows just sitting here, but I just listening to Moving Pictures.

But also, go piracy! Because concert attendance hasn't changed for those guys

175 AGUILERA*CHRISTINA BACK TO BASICS 5,190 4,848 7 1,560,749

Is this a disappointment or no?

Sales or quality dissapoinment?

Its a slick production. Maybe too slick for what she was trying to achieve. Disc One was barely OK and Disc Two was amazing. I was overall dissapointed by it, I prefer Stripped TBH.

Sales-wise? Most artist no longer sell over a million copies. Stripped sold over 4 million (domestic), this is bound be a little over 2milion when its all said and done. A huge drop but things have changed big time in the last couple of years.

It wasn't so long ago that each & everyone of those artists would have a guaranteed million albums sold in a month.

Most of them still have amazing ticket sales. Legends like McCartney and Ozzy no longer sell big numbers on studio releases mostly because they dont live up to their old stuff (and most of the time legends's studio albums tend to be uninspired) but when it comes to ticket sales they're HUGE! (Which is why they tour pretty often)

 

[Triumph]

That thing is even more depressing than NPD charts.

QFT, IAWTP, +1, and all that jazz.

It's easy to see how we could end up like the poor ****ers in Idiocracy just by looking at that chart. *shudders*

Finally, would it be possible or feasible to keep the sales dick measuring threads confined to gaming side? No real discussion goes on in them. Cinema box office, album sales and most of all the dumb ****ing blu-ray vs. hd-dvd bullshit is so painful to see cluttering up the OT.

#33 on the singles charts is Hannah Montana! Yea!
