[shane hennessey]

im suprised with teh MCS numbers and silverstein. i didnt expect them to be that much. And I like how fall out boy has passed MCR in sales and MCR's album has been out for a while now. good for FOB

[Jason Tate]

Hell, FOB is selling and has sold more than Weezer and Foo Fighters. They are grade A fucking stars at this point ...

Me 3 years ago says: I TOLD YOU SO!!!!

[nickblahblah]

mxpx?

[shane hennessey]

Hell, FOB is selling and has sold more than Weezer and Foo Fighters. They are grade A fucking stars at this point ...

Me 3 years ago says: I TOLD YOU SO!!!! i remember you had those one line reviews for albums and TTTYG was "FUCKING AMAZING" hahaha.

[Anton Djamoos]

I just realized that these soundscan posts much take a lot of time to do. To find each album and then copy and paste (or worse, manually type out) each of these stats must take a while. I appreciate your hard work, Tate.

yeah, this is the only place i know of to get the numbers, thanks.

[smallbutfeisty]

i love that fall out boy is selling more in their 30th or so week on the charts than lindsey lohan did in her first week... yay for fob!

[StimulisRocker]

how many has valencia sold?

[Anton Djamoos]

how many has valencia sold?
Find out Midtown - Forget What You Know!!! More than Silverstein? I hope so.

[looram12]

I'm glad they are still making the NOW series, without it I probably wouldnt know what to listen to

[theguilt engine]

That Green Day record just keeps selling and selling. That's amazing, really.

Yeah, and congrats. to Fall Out Boy.

[Sureshot182]

Darkness - One Way Ticket: 11,247 (37,805)
tearing it up boys, keep it up.

Big winner everyone, give him his prize!
PS-jason im ur friend on Facebook and its my bday..wish me a happ birthday so i can brag!!!

[NFG4ever]

Hell Yeah Rufio the Comfort of home , such an amazing and under rated CD

Also Story of The Year- In the wake of Determination is soooooooooooooooooo under rated

[FeynmanWannabe]

Get each of your friends the Sufjan Stevens album for Christmas if they don't already have it. Help him break 100K, he deserves it. Even Tate's rocking Illinois in his signature. ;)

[Drew Beringer]

Mmhmm, I got that Eminem cd.

[AmIWrong]

I can't believe that NOW cd sells so well.

[FeynmanWannabe]

Mmhmm, I got that Eminem cd.

Who have you become Drew? jk

[FeynmanWannabe]

I can't believe that NOW cd sells so well.
Yeah, really. It's like "Hurry & buy the cd kiddies, these songs are only going to be on the radio for another 8, 9 months tops." :rolleyes:

haha hard work is moving cement blocks from one side of a parking lot to another. this is what you call tedious work

[radxbandit]

Hell, FOB is selling and has sold more than Weezer and Foo Fighters. They are grade A fucking stars at this point ...

Me 3 years ago says: I TOLD YOU SO!!!!
yeah its awesome, i hope they get a lot more core fans from this too like the foo fighters and weezer have now.

[cht9989]

i'm glad p!atd is still holding strong...which is amazing considering they still don't have any video/radio airplay...

[Drew Beringer]

Who have you become Drew? jk

Haha, Eminem is the shit.

[Don Trump]

Hooray!....... ugh.

[Jason Tate]

Interesting sidenote: Panic! will likely surpass the Academy next week after being out 11 wks, compared to the academy being out 44 wks

[Drew Beringer]

That's because Panic sounds more like FOB than TAI does lol.

Tedious is hard.

:calvin: :hobbes:

Ok, not going to lie - I just wanted to use those icons.

[getupkid53]

Blink + AAR + Weezer + foofighters = amount of records sold by FOB this week.

Edit: Tate, I remember when the story is who was going to get FOB (before FBR picked them up).... You called it.

[Drew Beringer]

:calvin: :hobbes:

Ok, not going to lie - I just wanted to use those icons.

Those icons kick ass, just like :burgerkin and :domokun:

[Adeniz19]

well at least thrice already broke the 100k point

[Jason Tate]

well at least thrice already broke the 100k point
Yah, and FOB almost did it in 1 week. Sooooooooo insane. But it's easier to market FOB then Thrice, but still .. man, crazy to think. I don't know if I'm REALLY happy for FOB or REALLY sad for Thrice. You know?

I think Cartel needs to hit the mainstream in a big way they could be so very big.

[FUNLIKEAGUN]

my mom bought a copy of the green day album...i guess this is why they are selling 70k a week

[ArTkY_]

Vheissu=silver?

I'm happy for FOB... I'm pretty sure with more marketing Thrice would have been gold by now. I felt that CD had potential.

I think Cartel's next album will hit the mainstream hard. I view "Chroma" as the 2005 version of TTTYG. Starts out small, moderate success/hype, get on the right tour and slowly sell thousands of Chroma. Then their next album becames the new FUCT. It could happen, and I hope it happens.

[invincibleXL]

congrats to Em, again.

[avitabully]

Tedious is hard.

your mom makes me tedious

[satanisanerd]

How many records has Mxpx, Emery, Project 86, and Spoken sold?

[I.O]

All American Rejects - Move Along: 25,158 (534,695)

Congrats to those guys.


Jason

I was wondering, are the HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS sales #'s including the re-issue, or just the normal copy? When the numbers are put together, do they add the re-issues onto the normal cd sales, or is it seperate

[fromwithin]

Interesting sidenote: Panic! will likely surpass the Academy next week after being out 11 wks, compared to the academy being out 44 wks

that's because patd was founded by wentz playing fall out boy covers. he told them to write their own shit and he'd sign them. so they found a drum machine and a synth and became techno fall out boy.

[Ulikepunktoo?!?]

Cartel needs to start selling more immediately. Although Thrice looks like it had a great week, i still think their overall sales are terribly low. Same goes for the totals for TSL, MCS, AFS, and especially Anberlin...I still can't grasp why Never Take Friendship Personal hasnt blown up. Also, FOB's numbers are seriously staggering...absolutely cannot believe it (in a good way).

[duffe]

Now 20: 199,264 (1,413,519)

Things to ask Santa for because I want to always include their numbers each week:

Thrice - Vhessiu

The Starting Line - BOATS
What is Now 20 ? A V/A ?

And i'm agree with TSL and Thrice, two of my fabe records of the year.

[jon.fftl]

your mom makes me tedious
lol, sweet...

[Nate_RAWKS]

Get each of your friends the Sufjan Stevens album for Christmas if they don't already have it. Help him break 100K, he deserves it. Even Tate's rocking Illinois in his signature. ;)

Agreed.

on a side note i really want to find a copy with Superman on it. That was the first pressing i think and he had to take it off. I'm sure i could find it on ebay maybe.....

http://indie-boy-traqueur.hautetfort.com/images/medium_sufjan_stevens-illinoise_cover_with_superman.jpg
yeah that's it.....

What is Now 20 ? A V/A ?


It's a mix cd with songs that have been playing on the radio and MTV for the last year 67 times a day.

[bjam12]

Interesting sidenote: Panic! will likely surpass the Academy next week after being out 11 wks, compared to the academy being out 44 wks

I figured TAI had sold more than 70k at this point.

[TBSowns524]

Thrice is barely over 100,000. Vheissu needs to start selling more soon. It's that good and Thrice deserves it.

[nateisawesome]

Anberlin should have more than 62,000 copies sold. One of the years best

[Melie]

fall out boy is so A class that they can tell people that you have to buy a cd if you want to meet them. that was the worst thing i'd heard in a while, but i am happy for them going platinum and getting a grammy nom.

it'll be funny if panic passes tai, yet tai is still headlining the xbox tour.

[Anton Djamoos]

Anberlin should have more than 62,000 copies sold. One of the years best
Same with Acceptance and Cartel and Vendetta Red.

that tour already is fucked up for the sheer fact that panic is main support and not Acceptance

:Imagine from Acceptance's standpoint, bringing those guys on their first tour and now what is it? 3 months...not even llater Acceptance is playing before them, that must suck...

[ACA]

I like how fall out boy has passed MCR in sales and MCR's album has been out for a while now. good for FOB

Good for FOB, but bad in general.

MCR is so much better.

-ACA

[satanisanerd]

What are Mxpx sales??

[sweetmik]

So does tate get these from the Soundscan website or something? What's up with that? I wanna do that.

[sweetmik]

Good for FOB, but bad in general.

MCR is so much better.

-ACA

BLASPHEMY!!!

naw, just kidding. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[dumbcorey]

relient k is about to go Gold. w00t

[CorporateFish]

Illinois should be selling more..but I suppose it's one you expect not to sell millions..

[The Fix]

Darkness - One Way Ticket: 11,247 (37,805)
tearing it up boys, keep it up.

was that sarcasm?

[XBurnedDesireX]

Its good to see that Anberlin, MCS, Cartel, Starting Line, and Hellogoodbye are still selling............

[Toast&Bananas]

Hawthorne Heights - Silence in Black: 13,393 (642,121). That's more than a good portion of the major label bands above. Unbelievable.

[ETesdall]

I'm glad they are still making the NOW series, without it I probably wouldnt know what to listen to

hahahahahahaha my thoughts exactly

[CalamityRecords]

cartel deserved to sell ay more. but i'm sure if you told them they would be selling 10k of their debut album, they wouldve been ecstatic. mad to think that panic sold in their 11th week nearly what cartel have done total.

[kevinhagan]

i write this every week, so why stop now?

please post numbers for the fall of troy - doppelganger, jack's mannequin - everything in transit, fob - tttyg, and paramore - all we know is falling. thanks.
