[jusscali]

too bad no phantoms.....

[Jamie Pham]

cool

[Blake Solomon]

clap your anus? hahahahahah

[Blake Solomon]

more people need to buy the forecast, its soooo good.

[tomwk]

Clap Your Anus Say Yeah - Self-Titled: 1041 (101175)

those are such harsh words!

edit: beaten! harsh!

[Bury Your Head]

at least saves the day is picking up..... stop buying panic!!!!!!!!!!!!
geeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus.

[mikearduini9]

boy, thursdays really bombing

[Bury Your Head]

its a shame matchbook isnt picking up so well voices is a fucking fantastic album!

[allrecordsalex]

thank god aiden has only sold 11k

edit: oh shit, they sold a lot more than 11k. i was looking at their old album, i guess.

[Jason Tate]

at least saves the day is picking up..... stop buying panic!!!!!!!!!!!!
geeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus.
:)

[Jason Tate]

thank god aiden has only sold 11k
11k of a RE-release by a shitty band.,

[Jason Tate]

boy, thursdays really bombing
Not true at all.

[allrecordsalex]

11k of a RE-release by a shitty band.,

yeah, i looked at the wrong one. i had no idea what the new one or old one was called.

[rewindthistime]

clap your anus? hahahahahah
HAHAHA i didn't even notice that until i saw your comment

[Ladron]

thank god aiden has only sold 11k

edit: oh shit, they sold a lot more than 11k. i was looking at their old album, i guess.

lmao, their other album has sold like 50k, which is is like 60,000 Aiden fans in the world. :O

and PATD is gonna go platinum! I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up outsellelling FOB.

[leafsacc]

That's great for AFI.

[wiReZ]

Not too shabby for Head Automatica!

[wiReZ]

I think it's cool how Gnarls Barkley sold 10K more than the previous week.

See what an MTV performance can do?

[wiReZ]

Also, I think it sucks for the 1000 people that have bought the Motion City Soundtrack CD... since the re-release is right around the corner with tons of more shit! hahah

[themilove]

It's pretty surprising how quickly Angels & Airwaves have fallen off. 3000 in one week? I would have thought a band backed by a member of Blink could have done more.

[exthuse]

AFI deserve that. Amazing going to number one. I wish The Bouncing Souls had sold more though.

[I am all talk]

I can't believe where you want to be is dominating louder now by that much.

[moore182]

its a shame matchbook isnt picking up so well voices is a fucking fantastic album!
I disagree...I thought it was one of the biggest disappointments this year. They should have just made a good, catchy cd like Stories and Alibis. Instead, they made a generic fuse of MCR and Brand New, and it's boring as hell. I miss the old Matchbook.

[r3wind74]

what happened to Halifax? :(

[rewindthistime]

what happened to Halifax? :(
good question

[Jason Tate]

It's pretty surprising how quickly Angels & Airwaves have fallen off. 3000 in one week? I would have thought a band backed by a member of Blink could have done more.

They say the average is to drop 50% aftre your first week and another 25% the second.

That's why first week sales are so important.

[poppa Q]

Congrats to AFI...but boy is that hard to read without commas! Haha.

[thebestkylever]

more people need to buy the forecast, its soooo good.

you are correct. i think if they release "some things never change" as a single they could really blow up.

[zizou1790]

boy, thursdays really bombing

not really

[MasonR5]

Buy The Forecast!!!

[sweetmik]

clap your anus? hahahahahah

that sounds difficult

[CokeorPepsi]

haha Aiden - Nightmare Colostomy

[GDSP]

Gnarles selling more than Angels and Airwaves is proof that not everyone in America is a tool.

[sweetmik]

haha Aiden - Nightmare Colostomy

coke, mofo

[irthesteve]

i'm very suprised at how high american idiot is

[Steve Henderson]

Aiden - Nightmare Colostomy: 1378 (78066)
Sound of Animals Fighting - Love the Lord..: 1348 (6269)
Clap Your Anus Say Yeah - Self-Titled: 1041 (101175)

Well played on all of these :)

[sweetmik]

Gnarles selling more than Angels and Airwaves is proof that not everyone in America is a tool.

Gnarles has been getting a lot of press and I've seen them in advertisements. Just because they're good doesn't a lot of people aren't tools.

[GDSP]

Gnarles has been getting a lot of press and I've seen them in advertisements. Just because they're good doesn't a lot of people aren't tools.

I'll simplify it:

If you bought Angels and Airwaves, you're a tool.
If you bought Gnarles, you're probably less of a tool.

[Ryan Phantom]

I need commas!!!

[SuperJoe]

I wish The Bouncing Souls had sold more though.

seconded. easily one of the best albums of 06. so sad to see gems like these go unnoticed by the "scene" that they helped to build. great guys. great jams. great band.

and jason, do you have any numbers for the anti-flag album? curious to see how they're doing on rca.

[sweetmik]

I'll simplify it:

If you bought Angels and Airwaves, you're a tool.
If you bought Gnarles, you're probably less of a tool.

exactly.

[axelblazer]

Not too shabby for Head Automatica!


Head Automatica's one of the best albums that I've gotten this year...I recommend everyone to go and buy it...

[waggy]

if i start capitalizing my sentences can we see some commas next week? oh and based on the way that list is ordered, i'm guessing ava sold 34,000, not 3400 (for anyone wondering why the huge drop-off).

[JunkBondTrader]

....that AVA number is a misprint obviously.

and the gnarls barkley album is one of the best of the year.

and so is RHCP.

[bobbybo]

hush sound is killing it. that rules.

[preppyak]

Quietdrive - When All That's Left..: 1112 (3662)

for an album on a major label, that is as catchy a form of pop-punk...these #'s are stupid low

[strummer85]

more people need to buy the forecast, its soooo good.

I decided after one listen to one song that it was my CD of the summer. Fantastic.

[preppyak]

I'll simplify it:

If you bought Angels and Airwaves, you're a tool.
If you bought Gnarles, you're probably less of a tool.
sadly...that probably isn't true. MTV has been pushing Gnarles Barkley hard...you can't go an hour without seeing that video (which is awesome btw)

[Chemical Love]

People like Gnarles because its the cool thing to do right now.

[axelblazer]

AFI deserves to be on the #1 spot...great album overall.

[Jason Tate]

....that AVA number is a misprint obviously.

and the gnarls barkley album is one of the best of the year.

and so is RHCP.
No they aren't.

[waggy]

People like Gnarles because its the cool thing to do right now.

or because it's good. who decided that "popular" should be synonymous with "shitty"?

[dpmurph]

Can someone tell me how AVA has only sold about 200000 total, but they went gold in Canada? Is this only results for the US?

[infmoe]

People, children, aliens PLEASE buy Saves the day and Thursday new releases. Thank you.

[CauseAScene]

I'm seeing The Forecast tonight. If they impress me a ton, I'll probably end up buying their CD.

[Steve Henderson]

Can someone tell me how AVA has only sold about 200000 total, but they went gold in Canada? Is this only results for the US?
Gold in Canada is only 50k.

[dpmurph]

Gold in Canada is only 50k.
Oh alright that makes much more sense, thanks for clearing that up.

[AKrowdy]

AFI deserve that. Amazing going to number one. I wish The Bouncing Souls had sold more though.

i agree the bouncing souls new album is amazing its one of my most favorites of the year, they dont get the credit they deserve

[GDSP]

No they aren't.
AVA bad
Gnarles good
RHCP dorky

[GDSP]

No they aren't.
AVA bad
Gnarles good.

It's so clear-cut people. C'mon!

[dsmil]

Someone please buy the Thursday CD!!!

[lightcollapse]

if the remember to feel real vid blows up, which it has potential to do with some MTV play, AFS will blow up more than they're blowing up now.

go gnarls.

boo panic.

[armegeddon]

AFI deserves to be on the #1 spot...great album overall.

Yeah, I was just listening to Kill Caustic

[jsim]

fuck all of you.

[Kingnothing]

Anyone know where I can get the complete list of this weeks soundscn results?

[assjaw]

i dont think anyone has mentioned this but im kinda surprised at how little the hush sounds new album sold.. im not sure if that is "disappointing" but i sure expected more after landing two huge sold out tours. check that album out by the way because it is fucking awesome

[leftstranded]

congrats to afi, and glad to see the atreyu album is still selling

[Jason Tate]

Anyone know where I can get the complete list of this weeks soundscn results?
With a $25,000 subscription to Nielsen.

[Steve Henderson]

Anyone know where I can get the complete list of this weeks soundscn results?Sure, pay for a subscription...just a few thousand dollars.

[Steve Henderson]

With a $25,000 subscription to Nielsen.Fucker...you beat me by like 10 seconds.

[shtjames]

nightmare colostomy and clap your anus say yeah

whose puttin in all the cute little puns

[TylerDurden911]

I know closing in on 100K in just over a month can't technically be considered bombing, but I still find those Thursday numbers disappointing... This has got to be one of the year's best albums (#1 in my book), and with a built-in fanbase like that band has had for a couple of years, I thought this album would be selling a lot better... I guess that's what you get for choosing artistic integrity over commercial considerations...

[chcougar1]

jesus...how is Panic still continuing to sell more than their previous weeks?! Platinum SOON....terrible headlining tour though

[Gleebo]

People like Gnarles because its the cool thing to do right now.

Im begging to be uncool.

[SevenOhThree]

I think it's cool how Gnarls Barkley sold 10K more than the previous week.

See what an MTV performance can do?

Gnarls Barkley is awesome.
I cna't remember the last time I was so excited about a non-rock album.

Honestly, if you haven't heard St. Elsewhere yet, do your ears a favor and do it.

[Beloved Broken]

Yay for AFI.

[palmer905]

One of the things you learn about Soundscan is that there are alot more retards in america than expected..

Panic! at the Diso - A Fever You Can't...: 34399 (715406)
