how the fuck did godsmack outsell TBS?

[livelovecrydie]

tbs sold more than bruce springsteen. never thought i'd see the day.

[Neo Cassady]

...and green day still sells 6000+ copies per week.

[btbam > you]

tbs sold more than bruce springsteen. never thought i'd see the day.

same here.

[intoyourarms]

tbs outselling bruce is hilarious. too bad they wont still be around in 20 years.

[anthony_jr]

i really didn't think tbs would sell that many; i'm prettyyy damn surprised.

good to see the goo goo dolls did well also.

[hot time in DE]

Here are the Soundscan results for this past week (and total sold):

Saves the Day - Sound the Alarm: 4,635 (30,179)



thats all? damn

[PlusDanny]

Hmm, anyone know what opening week sales were for Gutterflower by Goo Goo Dolls? Just wondering how this compares to that one. Louder Now came out a little lower than WYWTB (around 170k, right?), which is kind of odd since I felt MakeDamnSure was pushed a little more than A Decade.. Should have kept going with the original titles. ;)

[sell the sunris]

...and green day still sells 6000+ copies per week.

...and, surprise, you people still whine about it.

[DeathCabForCoon]

Wow, props to TBS. They deserve it.

[cahrishurr]

thats so sad how low Punchlines numbers are :(

[the sob]

what happened to the posts of what songs people on this site are listening to weekly? Sorry thats the best way i can explain it.

[kg00d]

Moneen, Punchline, The Audition, and HTL so low :(

[takingback2005]

this is interesting

TBS on VICTORY sold - 163,000
TBS on WB sold - 158,000

[fortyparachutes]

I didn't even know Godsmack was releasing an album.
The one thing that I ever like about Godsmack was their...well...wait...nope I've never liked anything about Godsmack.

[the sob]

If saves the day would put out a music video then sales could start doing a lot better. 30k? that is a shame for such a solid album.

[satanisanerd]

I never hear what Mxpx's numbers are/were. Did Stavesacre even chart yet with their new album?

[gengen]

cartel, punchline, mates of state and moneen need to be selling alot more. arg.

[Steve Henderson]

how the fuck did godsmack outsell TBS?
You underestimate the amount of white trash in this country.

[Steve Henderson]

Sad the fact that Panic is going to outsell Death Cab...

[thebestkylever]

You underestimate the amount of white trash in this country.

no joke. godsmack, disturbD, sevendust.... thats my shit man. HEEAHHHH

[team vheissu]

gutterflower sold 101k first week , i think it's around 800k now for a total.

82k first week is pretty good seeing as though they had literally no momentum from the last album into this one.

[Steve Henderson]

what happened to the posts of what songs people on this site are listening to weekly? Sorry thats the best way i can explain it.
Umm, they're called "Recommendations" and they still do them every week (Sunday).

[aCe_]

Sad the fact that Panic is going to outsell Death Cab...Indeed.

[PlunketChris]

Umm, they're called "Recommendations" and they still do them every week (Sunday).

i think he's referring to the last.fm 'absolutepunk' group rankings.

[zizou1790]

how the fuck did godsmack outsell TBS?

dirty kids need music too

[Brett9]

how the fuck did godsmack outsell TBS?
It always amazes me that there are THAT many people out there who listen to bands like Godsmack. I guess that's the power of mainstream radio though....it's just crazy.

Definitely happy to see Goo Goo Dolls did pretty well, considering so many people (including me) didn't know they had a CD coming out until a week beforehand. - the CD is incredible. Saves the Day sales will grow with time - just like the CD itself. It's an amazing album, but takes a few listens through to really sink in.

Thanks for posting these numbers, guys.

[zizou1790]

Punchline - 37 Everywhere: 1,093 (5,871)

that kills me...

[Steve Henderson]

i think he's referring to the last.fm 'absolutepunk' group rankings.
Ah, ok.

Well, here let me say what it always is:

1) Fall Out Boy
2) P!ATD
3) Brand New
4) Taking Back Sunday
5) Green Day

They can shuffle from week to week, but it's basically the same :)

[Blake Solomon]

i really didn't think tbs would sell that many; i'm prettyyy damn surprised.

good to see the goo goo dolls did well also.



Yeah, i was pleasantly surprised to see that the Goo Goo Dolls sold that many. they have a pretty faithful fanbase, im guessing.

[aCe_]

Punchline - 37 Everywhere: 1,093 (5,871)

that kills me...I still need to buy this

[badstarsfall]

...and, surprise, you people still whine about it.

Gloating is the word you were looking for. Shut the fuck up.

[Steve Henderson]

Gloating is the word you were looking for. Shut the fuck up.
Haha. I like you.

[Alabama]

: I .. why is noone buying hit the lights..

[jnkbondtrader]

come on moneen

[Trainsaw]

wow they beat the boss, but who the hell names their band Godsmack

[Spooky]

if Goo Goo Dolls release "Can't Let it Go" off the new cd, they're sales will soar

[ishotthepilot]

panic outsells kelly clarkson... wow.
i constantly underestimate mtv exposure i guess?

and godsmack came out with a new album? well thats good to know

[TgE ARTdamage]

Panic! is selling more than FOB is now. that's pretty cool for them i guess.

I really want to see Hit The Lights selling more records. I know I bought it off of iTunes. Love the bonus track you get with it (this is a stick up)

Does the iTunes Music Store get factored into these resaults?

[captainmccool]

Louder Now came out a little lower than WYWTB (around 170k, right?), which is kind of odd since I felt MakeDamnSure was pushed a little more than A Decade.. Should have kept going with the original titles. ;)

suprising also seeing as how early WYWTB leaked and how well protected Louder Now had been

[ishotthepilot]

Punchline - 37 Everywhere: 1,093 (5,871)

that kills me...

doesnt help that the FBR store has been down, kids need to wake up... and not waste $$ on HTL, for starters. which is weird for me to say, since i do like HTL. its just that the disc's not worth it. [to me]

[12:46AM]

thrice?

[fugitive_alien]

hahaha who the hell listens to godsmack?

[the sob]

why arent more peope buying Jack's Mannequin. It makes me extremely sad that his music is not reaching a lot of people.

[knibl]

where's thrice at...?

wow go tbs...serious. they are p'owning

[CorporateFish]

37 Everywhere is so damn good, it should def. be selling more.

[Freud]

good job tbs. but godsmack? wow. i would imagined bruce woulda been #1 followed by TBS.

[1000shadesofred]

godsmack can take its christianity and shove it

[JoeShow]

this is interesting

TBS on VICTORY sold - 163,000
TBS on WB sold - 158,000

not really that big of a deal- the last victory release had a lot of fans wondering what it would sound like with two new guys and they had the same basic promotion as this one, making the videos on mtv, end of episode videos and the leak and all that jazz, and tbs has always been one of the bands that can do no harm on fuse.

its not that big of a drop, itunes probably takes care of a majority of it

if they were 30000 less in sales i would be worried, but 5000 isnt anything to worry about.

[turningjapanese]

what happened to bullets and octane? three weeks out and the record is MIA ... they were hyped as the next freakin' clash or some shit.

[hinkelmanf]

why is no one buying the riverboat gamblers, 700 is rediculously sad.

[NLRGAH]

this is interesting

TBS on VICTORY sold - 163,000
TBS on WB sold - 158,000


nah it just shows how albums don't sell anymore, and how less (not much) but less care about TBS . lol they beat the BOSS thats funny....because one is so much more talented then the other.

[Nate_RAWKS]

hahaha who the hell listens to godsmack?


HAHA

i was thinking the same thing. There's something wrong with the world when Godsmack sells more copies in one week than Sufjan Stevens has sold since July 2005.

anyway....

Congrats to Taking Back Sunday!!!

[Chemical Love]

Congrats to Taking Back Sunday.

[JunkBondTrader]

every week when i see the posts in this thread i am just reminded how people in the news forum have no idea about anything Music related outside of the scene. seriously, you guys think the scene is so big and everyone bows down to the bands that are posted about on this site. when in reality its the exact opposite, a majority of the population hates 95% of these bands, its fact. when you guys are bitching about how godsmack outsold TBS you must be on crack. if you honestly thought TBS would outsell godsmack youre a dumbfuck. and stop bitching about hit the lights and pnchline numbers.....seriously go ask a random 20ppl if they have heard of either of those bands and they will be like "shut the fuck up you emo bitch"

[lookitsmarc]

If more people gave moneen a chance they would sell so much more. Or if they saw them live.

[cahrishurr]

the new hit the lights is not worth dishing out the money for, its just not as good as people made it out to be

[Scuba Chris]

this is interesting

TBS on VICTORY sold - 163,000
TBS on WB sold - 158,000


I am about 95% sure that WYWTB sold at most 140k in week one.
And generally the record label "push" doesn't help the week one sales as much as it does the week 4-20 sales. It is why FOB and AAR are still selling 20k a week.

[lbc182]

Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now: 157,650 (158,078)

what is 428 difference you think?

very well put dude. half these people that talk cd sales downloaded the album anyway, then they wonder why all these bands aren't selling albums.

[Guy]

and stop bitching about hit the lights and pnchline numbers.....seriously go ask a random 20ppl if they have heard of either of those bands and they will be like "shut the fuck up you emo bitch"

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[elvis2x]

Sad to see Godsmack selling so much. I thought Limp Bizkit-like metal was dead.

[Troy will Fall]

congrats to TBS, 157,000 is impressive..
And i need to get The Fray's album....that over my head song is so damn catchy.

[CollapseControl]

tbs sold more than bruce springsteen. never thought i'd see the day.

New Jesey

[CyberInferno]

Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now: 157,650 (158,078)

what is 428 difference you think?
They were selling the CD at select tour dates before it was released.
