Wow, Ashley parker angel is getting owned. :thumbsup:

EDIT: people should buy josh ritter too.

[Pass The Flask]

i wanna fuck 1 of the 3 dixie chicks.

[nateisawesome]

very sad that Saves The Day have only solf 40,000 so far

[Chriz2z]

Rohan, would you happen to have The Classic Crime's numbers?

[bradyreier]

any guesses on what will afi's first week sales be?

[irishpunk14]

Whats with th Dixie Chicks being number one?

[Rohan Kohli]

any guesses on what will afi's first week sales be?

Hits is predicting 200-225k

[Flags of Dawn]

Whats with th Dixie Chicks being number one?
im guessing because a lot of people buy their albums? just a thought.

[Jason Tate]

Whats with th Dixie Chicks being number one?
a big EF YOU to the country radio stations is wht it is.

[chcougar1]

200k for AFI? they are really that big? wow apparently im an idiot (feel free to agree haha)

Anyways, apparently Panic! at the disco is gaining steam ...holy hell Fastest band to platinum ever?

[Phil507]

Wow, the Hoobastank and Yellowcard CD's are really eating a dick.

[Jason Tate]

Wow, the Hoobastank and Yellowcard CD's are really eating a dick.
Yeah, 300K can't be good for a band that sold like 1.4 million last time. Their current single could have been the push they needed - guess it didn't happen. Interesting, wonder what will happen.

[chcougar1]

and poor fall out boy...they arent going to make triple platinum haha

[Phil507]

Eh, shows how fickle pop-punk audiences can be. I must be in the minority but I actually do enjoy Lights & Sounds (although, the string of mid-tempo songs in the middle of the disc can drag on). City Of Devils is a favorite. I think they tried going straight for CHR radio on "Rough Landing, Holly" and it, had, a rough landing (oh........)

As for Hoobastank, it's a solid disc, but they led with that ballad which (maybe it wasn't on purpose) made it seem like they were trying to replicate "The Reason" and since they're not really a "cool" band anymore the hip alt-rock stations (KROQ, Live 105, etc.) don't really play them, so without Top 40 on their side, they're pretty much fucked as well.

I'm also curious to see if Island will keep Thursday (and Thrice for that matter)

[rewindthistime]

i'm happy youinseries is on there :]]]

halifax punchline & hit the lights fell off the world? big wtf to halifax.

[Bloc Party]

I expected The Walkmen's total sales to be much higher by now. I guess that's what happens when you release a CD much worse than Bows and Arrows.

I'm listening to the disc right now (L&S) and it's finally clicked, I really like it at the moment. I think there are a bunch of things that they could have done different - but for some reason, it just really clicks at the moment.

[RiCCioLi]

very sad that Saves The Day have only solf 40,000 so far

This kills me too, Sound The Alarm is such a fantastic album and even surprised the shit out of me. Its up there with the new TBS, Thursday, and Hit the Lights for my fav album of 2006.

Im disappointed in the AVA soundscan results. Its a pretty good album and isnt being well recieved in my opinion. Too many haters and bootleggers. I guess they arent getting pushed enough.

AFI selling 200k, I dont know about that...but hopefully. Its a great album though

[lightcollapse]

thursday and thrice will be dropped.

fuck. i love both of those bands to fucking death.

[Phil507]

When he sings "What if I wanted you there right now, would you fall in the fire burn me down?" I get chills. They don't seem to have a lot of confidence in the material yet though (even on the Virgin tour, they only played like 5 songs from it)

[anishkabob]

thursday and thrice will be dropped.

fuck. i love both of those bands to fucking death.

didn't vheissu go gold?

that doesn't mean they'll be dropped does it?

[ZeoVGM]

and poor fall out boy...they arent going to make triple platinum haha

Why is that funny exactly?

Anyway, where are the numbers for Damone's "Out Here All Night"? They had their first week (I bought it -- awesome poprock CD), but they never get mentioned on the site. And hell, if Paramore can, Damone sure as hell can.

[Nate_RAWKS]

I'm glad to see AVA sold 50,000 copies in it's second week. :)

[Nolessthanblink]

Cougar can laugh cause him and his band have gone diamond... you didn't know that? :p

i read on billboard.com that yellowcard earned a gold record "for lights and sounds" but yet it shows on here that they've only sold 300k. hmmm

[Rohan Kohli]

They've prob shipped gold

[xdrummerxdudex]

They've prob shipped gold


i know i sound like an idiot but what does that mean? 500k pressed in stores?

[ZeoVGM]

They've prob shipped gold

Don't suppose you got the Damone numbers? I'm sure they're not very great of course.

[thewebguy]

thursday and thrice will be dropped.

[GoodbyeBlueSky]

Halifax??

[KetchupMan36]

170K is disappointing? christ, you people have too high of expectations.

[ZeoVGM]

170K is disappointing? christ, you people have too high of expectations.

Yeah seriously, just because they're trying to be U2 doesn't mean they're going to sell U2 numbers!

(BA DUM KSH)

[Rohan Kohli]

Neither Damone nor Halifax showed up in the charts I have.

[preppyak]

Neither Damone nor Halifax showed up in the charts I have.
any chance Damiera showed up?

[Rohan Kohli]

any chance Damiera showed up?

Nope =\

I saw the band the other night though, and they are INCREDIBLE live... no joke, one of the tightest live shows I've ever seen. It was ridiculous.

[RememberFminus]

Jason I was just wondering - what is your prediction on the fate of Thursday and Thrice? - even if you just guess - do you think Island is the type of label who will go with the longevity angle or are they frowning greatly upon those numbers?

Its sad I think both those bands have so much to say and have such a refreshing way at approaching music. I wish they broke massive over a MCR or something. Just because I think they are scene defining bands- they are the optiome of this new hybrid of rock that was born of late.

[Phil507]

Neither Damone nor Halifax showed up in the charts I have.

That's because Halifax licks balls (literally, and billboard doesn't allow people who run their tongues across scrotums on the charts). Sorry, but it's true.

[preppyak]

Nope =\

I saw the band the other night though, and they are INCREDIBLE live... no joke, one of the tightest live shows I've ever seen. It was ridiculous.
I know...I had never heard of them prior to it...and they opened with a song off their EP...I turned to my friend and said "They sound like ATDI, I love it". They were the first opener, and they outperformed all the other bands there (Punchline, The Audition)

[ZeoVGM]

Counting 5-4-3-2-1 should have been an absolutely huge hit imo.

[chcougar1]

Why is that funny exactly?

Anyway, where are the numbers for Damone's "Out Here All Night"? They had their first week (I bought it -- awesome poprock CD), but they never get mentioned on the site. And hell, if Paramore can, Damone sure as hell can.

Oh because I never expected them to even go platinum...its amazing how huge they are....trust me i am happy for them though!!! I love those guys

and shit i wish i could sing and play that'd be cool

[NameTaken69]

i get upset seeing saves the day at 40k, but i am happy to see ben harper doing relatively well

[Flags of Dawn]

thursday and thrice will be dropped.

fuck. i love both of those bands to fucking death.
i dunno, i think thrice could go back to sub-city and make them a TON of money if need be

[YellowNovember]

Panic almost platinum ...wow that will be good for fueled by ramen and dcaydance

[Scott Weber]

I'm shocked at how high those sound of animals fighting numbers are. I would have predicted like 2500 tops.

[Rouse Diaz]

tbs 300 k woo hoo, hopefully they can get on TRL and go PLIZATNUM!

[Jamais_vu]

What about the stills? Surely they sold more than a thousand records and showed up on the charts?

[lady mustard]

rohan...do you know the halifax #'s per chance? thanks :)

[Rohan Kohli]

rohan...do you know the halifax #'s per chance? thanks :)

Didn't show up =\

[VinceHotline]

to the dumbass who posted "sad saves the day only sold 40,000 so far"
youre an idiot

40,000 in a few months is awesome

[lady mustard]

nevermind...i just read that they didn't show up on the chart this week. danka.

[Drew Beringer]

I'm shocked at how high those sound of animals fighting numbers are. I would have predicted like 2500 tops.
All those people who bought it will be pissed when they find out how much it sucks haha.

[radxbandit]

Whats with th Dixie Chicks being number one?
yeah its not like they're good or anything....:dunce:

i own that cd and recommend it to everyone.

[Jason Tate]

yeah its not like they're good or anything....:dunce:

i own that cd and recommend it to everyone.
:whistle:

[indie_ira]

no junior varsity numbers???

[bigmike]

The Forecast only sold 1,277. that album is excellent.

and more people do need to buy Josh Ritter's record, as well.

[gnfnrs91]

Buckcherry - 15: 18,175 (139,257)

That seems doing very well for a record that's been out since April, and they haven't done much but their own headlining tours playing to about a hundred a night.
I don't think that their last CD, Timebomb, sold much more than this.
15 is a great fucking record though, can't wait till Wednesday to see them with Nonpoint.

[HungJury]

Congrats to The Sleeping at almost 2,700 CDs! Those are some great guys that work their butts off! Quietdrive at almost 2,500 surprises me.

[chcougar1]

Congrats to The Sleeping at almost 2,700 CDs! Those are some great guys that work their butts off! Quietdrive at almost 2,500 surprises me.


yeah quietdrive selling that many is surprising...the only reason i've heard of them is because they are touring with houston calls.....you would think that cartel would sell more copies than them in a week...even if this IS QD's first week...Cartel is surely picking up in popularity!

[Take Heart]

yeah quietdrive selling that many is surprising...the only reason i've heard of them is because they are touring with houston calls.....you would think that cartel would sell more copies than them in a week...even if this IS QD's first week...Cartel is surely picking up in popularity!


This is the first week i've seen Cartel over 1000, so hopefully it's a sign that they are picking up some steam. Awesome that Quietdrive sold that many too

[Jamie Pham]

very sad that Saves The Day have only solf 40,000 so far

yeah seriously, people need to get that cd!

[shes.a.ghost]

to the dumbass who posted "sad saves the day only sold 40,000 so far"
youre an idiot

40,000 in a few months is awesome

actually that dumbass was correct. for a band like saves the day to only have sold 40,000 in a few months is a shame. they deserve so much more.

[SevenOhThree]

More people need to go out and buy the Murder by Death record. It's fantastic.

[r3wind74]

Halifax- WTF is going on here? Great cd in my opinion
Cartel- Lot of talk about them going to blow up. Did the new label officially re-release the cd yet? I think that they did no?
Anyone know what The Starting Line ended up selling so far of BOATS?

[B4theblackout]

crash romeo is so damn good and they only hit 700!!

[vegasbabyvegas]

Halifax - 3,711 (Total 10,689)
Damone - 2,515 (Total 10,888)

[thesiz]

i know its been off the charts for the past few weeks, but does anyone have punchlines numbers?
anyone have any predictions for head automatica next week?

[Bury Your Head]

im with you on that.
except cartel. not a fan... but new halifax is good. gets boring after a while IMO cause the riffs start to almost sound the same to me. and i was just listening to based on a true story last night when i was closing at my work!
im curious how well that album did it was very honest and genius to me.

[Bury Your Head]

stop buying HIM and green day's american idiot. i think HIM is just as bad as aiden and and as laughable too. i thought green day's american idiot was fucking awesome but come on people... i would think by now that everyone would either have it/burned it/downloaded it/got sick of it?

[Bury Your Head]

i know its been off the charts for the past few weeks, but does anyone have punchlines numbers?
anyone have any predictions for head automatica next week?

hmmmmmmmmmm
hopefully good. i know i bought the album and for the most part pleased with it. i wished they could have had some more songs in the vain of the first 4 (which is the best four on the album IMO).

[brasonmyguitar]

Rock Kills Kid? Less than Jake? Haven't seen them in SOUNDSCAN reports for the last 2 weeks. Anyone know?

[thesiz]

i wished they could have had some more songs in the vain of the first 4 (which is the best four on the album IMO).

yeah no doubt. laughing is fucking amazing... im not realy a fan of graduation day though, the video is so corny.

[TgE ARTdamage]

Head Automatica's album doesn't show up on the iTunes store for me :(

but i hope their numbers are really good after this week. and the new AFI, blew me away. it was nothing i expected it to be.

[lbc182]

i wanna fuck 1 of the 3 dixie chicks.
no dude even the chubby one is hot now.
