rascal flatts? uggh country

[Drew Beringer]

RHCP will hit platinum next week.

[Jason Tate]

Cartel - Chroma: 6,126 (46,511)

It's starting.

[YellowNovember]

Saves The Day's numbers always make me sad. People are missing out on such a excellant cd

[xgloryxfadesx27]

How is P!ATD still selling so many records?

[Ailite]

Thursday isn't even on there, unless I'm missing it, which is possible.

But if not, that really just makes me sad.

[GQMike of TSPR]

Any reason Rock Kills Kid and Less than Jake are NEVER included each week? They have to be selling more albums than these bands.

[Drew Beringer]

Cartel - Chroma: 6,126 (46,511)

It's starting.
Their next album should be huge, this one will just be a steady grower, kinda like TTTYG was.

[TylerDurden911]

Where the hell is Thursday?!? My god, wake up people!!! And those Murder By Death numbers are awfully low... I know their music cannot possibly be considered "commercial" in any way, but still... I guess the fact that I still am unable to find it ANYWHERE should have clued me in...

[Roboman]

Not too bad of a start for Three Days Grace's new album..at least I don't think it is.

[AaronDemus]

It is indeed.
I can't wait to see those Underoath soundscan reports.
My best guess, judging on how well it did first day... 103,000
Anybody, guess'?

[Jason Tate]

Any reason Rock Kills Kid and Less than Jake are NEVER included each week? They have to be selling more albums than these bands.
I don't think they are ...

[TgE ARTdamage]

AFI stays at the top.

MBD was on sale at Best Buy this week for 7.99 so maybe there will be an increase in sales this week.

[xgloryxfadesx27]

How far up do you think Underoath will be next week?

[Jason Tate]

How far up do you think Underoath will be next week?
Top 10... I hope.

[TgE ARTdamage]

It is indeed.
I can't wait to see those Underoath soundscan reports.
My best guess, judging on how well it did first day... 103,000
Anybody, guess'?

i'm hoping the come in around 137,300.

that'd be pretty sick.

[TgE ARTdamage]

Top 10... I hope.

hell, why no #1?

that would be pretty phenomenal.

[Get Fucked]

Underoath had so much promo type stuff going on this CD it should have sold amazing. This was the first CD i've bought on a release date in a while, that's got to mean something.

[Drew Beringer]

I hope Underoath sells about 300k in its first week LOL>

Realistically, it'll be like 90-100k.

If CIWWAF outsells them, I'm gonna kill people.

[xgloryxfadesx27]

Top 10... I hope.

I really wouldn't be surprised.

[Chris Fallon]

Billy Joel - 12 Gardens Live: 44,354 (44,538)

That is my man right there. Still going strong.

I don't think they are ...

Saddening.

[FeynmanWannabe]

Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope: 7,891 (7,940)
Josh Ritter - Animal Years: 1,190 (17,403)
Calexico - Garden Ruin: 914 (24,712) Too many people are missing out on these quality albums. :aimfrown:

[TylerDurden911]

MBD was on sale at Best Buy this week for 7.99 so maybe there will be an increase in sales this week.
I really really hope that will happen, because it's really such a wonderful record... I wish more people would get the chance to experience it!

[leftstranded]

Cartel - Chroma: 6,126 (46,511)

It's starting.
i noticed that. way up from what it was averaging before

[dpmurph]

I cant believe coldplay haven't hit trpile platinum yet.

[Nolessthanblink]

FINALLY some Halifax numbers! Hopefully they continue to incresae, Panic! decreases, and it's GREAT to see people starting to find out who the fuck Cartel is in the real world, and not just us here at AP!

my thoughts exactly. things like this bring a tear to my eye.

[Gleebo]

Cartel - Chroma: 6,126 (46,511)

It's starting.

The push target gave the album selling it for $7.99 had to help with the re-release business. I bought 3 copies and already own the album. Ive given away 2 for gifts and both people already switched their myspace song to a Cartel song...so I feel like im doing my part.

Am I the only one here that cannot stand Gnarls Barkley? If so fine, but it sold more copies in one week last week than Cartel has since Chroma came out...and that just baffles/angers me.

[shes.a.ghost]

I hope Underoath sells about 300k in its first week LOL>

Realistically, it'll be like 90-100k.

If CIWWAF outsells them, I'm gonna kill people.

there is no way ciwwaf will out-sell them. If they sell more than 30k I will be absolutely suprised. I actually would be suprised at 20k

[mogwaifearsatan]

If CIWWAF outsells them, I'm gonna kill people.

There is no way in hell that will happen.

[NameTaken69]

Cartel - Chroma: 6,126 (46,511)

It's starting.
yea i saw that too, was thinking the same thing

[thesiz]

how little does a band have to sell to not even show up on the charts?

[Scuba Chris]

Cartel is getting a major MTV push. The weekly sales are going to keep increasing to Panic like numbers.

[Scott Weber]

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

Holy fucking shit.... that's fucking huge considering how long that record has been out, GG Epic.

[Goodbye Forever]

I don't think they are ...

That's got to be real disappointing for LTJ and their label then. They were definitely expecting at least decent sales. I really don't know how they couldn't have done at least 10K-20K so far with their following, though.

And good to see that the Bouncing Souls record should pass 10K this week. That album is a gem of a pop-punk record.

[YellowNovember]

there is no way ciwwaf will out-sell them. If they sell more than 30k I will be absolutely suprised. I actually would be suprised at 20k

It was sold out at my best buy

[Take Heart]

Cartel - Chroma: 6,126 (46,511)

It's starting.

Yeah I was going to say.. that is what, ~5,200 more than they've sold anytime this year? About fucking time people started picking this CD up. Now hopefully the Emery - The Question reissue will spark some well-deserved interest for them when it comes out.

[shes.a.ghost]

It was sold out at my best buy

Im sure best buy only got like 8 copies.

[HueyLewis]

Is There anyway to find the less than jake numbers. im really interested to see how it has done.

[shtjames]

I hope Underoath sells about 300k in its first week LOL>

Realistically, it'll be like 90-100k.

um. impossible dude

[ticklemyfancy]

Aiden - Nightmare Anatomy: 1,162 (79,228)
Saves the Day - Sound the Alarm: 1,108 (43,077)


:(

I kind of thought this one was already to get the ball rolling down the hill a few months ago. I kept seeing "Studying Politics" on XM and getting major exposure with the same song being used on Prison Break promos.

[Chemical Love]

How is P!ATD still selling so many records?
Are you serious?

I wish Louder Now would sell more. I mean its doing well, but I want to see them sell a million.

[Troggy]

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

Zao - Fear Is What Keeps Us Here: 4,404 (4,458)

= (

The album is gooood somebody go buy it...

[r3wind74]

FINALLY some Halifax numbers! Hopefully they continue to incresae, Panic! decreases, and it's GREAT to see people starting to find out who the fuck Cartel is in the real world, and not just us here at AP!

I totally agree. If you take Halifax's figures and divide them by the number of weeks its been out (3 i think), it comes to a respectable 5,656 per week which isnt bad at all, still not great. I really enjoy the Halifax cd so i am hoping word of mouth will push it further.
As for Cartel, it seems as if the label is really behind them so one would think that its only bound to sell a lot more. I jst found out about cartel on the SIFB tour and they blew me away.
I hope both bands make it big.

How bout a SIFB Part II (The Starting Line, Cartel, Hidden in plain view, Houston calls, halifax) B-)

[GRIFFARD]

Keane was 3 spots above Underoath on the iTunes music store so i wouldn't be surprised if Keane was high on the list

[BettyDavisDance]

Thursday goes to show you why scene bands don't sell CDs...too many kids download their mp3s and burn their cds

[Boring Pop Song]

sonic fucking youth are still selling a lot of records. those are big numbers for very little promotion

[zizou1790]

mtv def helped otu cartel this week

[irishpunk14]

Panic At The Disco needs to die!!!

[preppyak]

Panic! At the Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out: 38,346 (753,752)
Nick Lachey - What's Left of Me: 34,799 (365,461)
Hawthorne Heights - If Only You Were Lonely: 5,160 (373,104)
I wish Nick was outselling them...but, he's doing well regardless, probably gold by end of July at the latest...the good news, he is outselling HH.


Cartel - Chroma: 6,126 (46,511)
I'm assuming this is the re-release...what did/is the original selling at the moment


Quietdrive - When All That's Left Is You: 909 (4,571)

They must have gotten no push...because this album should be selling off the shelves to a 15-18 crowd...

[payforglory]

i noticed that. way up from what it was averaging before

Epic Rerelease 1st week sales. Onsale and endcapped at BB@s nationwide and they've been running commercials for it as well.

Spend money to make money - name of the game.

A lot of CDs SHOULD be selling but don't. Quietdrive got a decent push.

That Cartel is the rerelease week one therefore to see what the "original" did simply subtract this week from the total...

[vegasbabyvegas]

They must have gotten no push...because this album should be selling off the shelves to a 15-18 crowd...

Their label is probably waiting until they actually get some good tours to put a lot of marketing behind the band.

[bbelair]

angels and airwaves?
