[Jason Tate]

beat me too it! silly rohan. :) thanks dude.

Cartel - Chroma: 4,508 (72,791)

I rediscovered them this week - they're gaining some steam.

[Paul Tao]

Two more weeks until PATD hits platinum. Crazy.

[Jason Tate]

The Format - Dog Problems: 5,339 (17,841)

Good for them!

[Jason Tate]

Paul: It was certified last week I believe. Cause it shipped platinum. FBR had a huge party / baseball game thing.

[ACA]

I'm going to continue my weekly bitch: How the fuck is Thursday selling less than 700 copies per week? Fuck.

Also -- Panic! is climbing so fast, it's unreal..

-ACA

[Troggy]

Kelly Clarkson - Breakaway: 15,622 (5,435,466)
Green Day - American Idiot: 4,526 (5,505,330)

Not Fair. Kelly Clarkson >>>>> Green Day

[BettyDavisDance]

look how much TEN has fallen already. what a shame.

[Paul Tao]

Paul: It was certified last week I believe. Cause it shipped platinum. FBR had a huge party / baseball game thing.
Oh nice. That makes sense. Congratulations, I suppose; doing that on an independent is ridiculous.

[Chriz2z]

Ugh.. only a couple more days until I can go buy TEN, The Format, and Sufjan.

But really, good for The Format and hopefully TEN can get some more sales.

[ATDIdakota]

Paul: It was certified last week I believe. Cause it shipped platinum. FBR had a huge party / baseball game thing.

it was actually a hockey game they all went too for some little chicago team

[Scuba Chris]

look how much TEN has fallen already. what a shame.

Most of the bands talked about on this site will have big first weeks and then fall steadily down to a level around 500-2k for the week. Falling from 25k to 9k in the second week really isn't that bad.

[miltownrob]

i am kind of surprised by the AVA numbers

[Branevember31]

yeah TEN fell, but "For All Of This", " The Acoustic EP" and "The Rooms Too Cold" sold a combined 300,000 so i guess theyre doing pretty good in 2 weeks compared to that .

[Tony Pascarella]

I really like that AAR have sold 1.2 million. Such a solid little pop album from last year.

[CrazeeJaney]

Taking Back Sunday - Where You Want to Be: 1,335 (720,583)


...Is that because of TBS going (somewhat) mainstream?? ah-ha

[r3wind74]

The Early November - The Mother, the Mechanic & The Path: 8,579 (34,646)
---Still good sales figure, no one expects them to do huge figures all the time & its only the 2nd week. Heck look at Cartel, they sell b/t 6k to 4k a week and that adds up. TEN can and probably will sell a lot more records w/the tours they are on or will be part of (warped & NGF tour).

Cartel - Chroma: 4,508 (72,791)
---Good for these guys! Great band/music/people! 100k not impossible w/Chroma's "rebirth" via the major label & tours (warped & NFG tour). Would like to see the EP pick up some steam as well.


The Format - Dog Problems: 5,339 (17,841)
---Hope these figures pick up though a steady 5k is nothing to be upset about. The tour w/AAR will be sure to help pump up sales. Perhaps the most unique sounding cd in a long time, i really really enjoy this cd!

[madstix5]

The Early November cd is incredible....eveyone should go buy it. 3 cds for the prics of 1!! Definitely my favorite of the summer.

[zizou1790]

Cheyenne Kimball - Day Has Come: 21,189 (60,894)



:trampolin

[PaintTheTarget]

Where the hell is The Working Title????

[chcougar1]

No one has mentioned this:

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Don't You Fake It: 25,018 (25,151)

Thats WAY more than I expected....but I guess they are on a major arent they?

[chcougar1]

Also, Cartel isnt really gaining speed....they have been at 4500 for the past 3 or 4 weeks...consistency is good...and I'm sure they will get up to 10k after they jump into the TRL countdown

Also,
Panic! is losing just a little steam, but they are still selling over 35k which is insane haha!

I also noticed that they passed fall out boy for the most plays on myspace

[thewebguy]

i didn't see that dcfc had passed the gold mark, that is good news. that would be really cool if it went platinum , but i think it is nearing a drop off point.

[crazytoledo]

So Eighteen Visions's new album sold pretty much the same amount as 'Obsession' did it's first week...

[mr chainsaw]

what about alien ant farm...the new cd is pretty good...not like truant...more like anthology

[nateisawesome]

It still makes me quite sad to see how little Saves The Day has sold

[EveryNewDay]

i agree.. where's the working title? that cd is amazing and needs to be heard... also I think its awesome, that Underoath is still outselling Keane overall. both great albums that came out on the same day, but one has major label support, radioplay and everything... Underoath has about 1/10 of the money behind them and they're still selling almost 15k in their 5th week. i love it.

[crazytoledo]

what about alien ant farm...the new cd is pretty good...not like truant...more like anthology

There's a few good songs there, and yea it does remind me heavily of 'ANThology.'

[MotionIsntMeaning]

I'm going to continue my weekly bitch: How the fuck is Thursday selling less than 700 copies per week? Fuck.

-ACA

stfu. the album didn't do well. get over it. not everyone has hard-ons for thursday like you do.

[relevanceof27]

That Protest the Hero album is killer. I normally don't even like music like that at all, but it kind of blew me away. Good to see them back on this thing.

[relevanceof27]

RXB needs to be sellin 25k

the world would be a better place haha

Agreed! Did that come out yesterday?

[emerson1892]

that saves the day number needs to come up and also that nofx, even if you dont like the bands buy out of sheer respect

[Chemical Love]

I really like that AAR have sold 1.2 million. Such a solid little pop album from last year.
One of the best albums of last year.

I cant beleive that the Red Jumpsuit.. sold that many copies. Well I guess I can, they were all over MTV.

AFI is continually selling well. Congrats to them.

[PopPunkKid]

Not Fair. Kelly Clarkson >>>>> Green Day


Blasphemy

[Saves The Night]

I hope that since THE END is playing on Fuse alot now that the saves the day numbers pick up...these dudes deserve it, not only for their musical awesomeness but they are also some of the nicest guys around.

[lbc182]

I think i missed it a last week, what did butch walker do?

[chokeychicken]

how has saves the day sold LESS than 50,000 copies of their new record in 4 months, but panic is platinum?

that's downright unfair.

[Troggy]

Blasphemy

O RLY?

[Tony]

Agreed! Did that come out yesterday?
It doesn't hit stores until October, but you can buy it at their shows or from their website. I highly recommend it, though it's not as good as The Resignation (I'm still fucking obsessed with that album).

[elscorchette]

The Early November
The Format
Cartel
Saves the Day

everyone who doesn't own these albums is missing out! these are all amazingly talented and hard-working bands who deserve all the success in the world.

[we are cured]

how has saves the day sold LESS than 50,000 copies of their new record in 4 months, but panic is platinum?

that's downright unfair.

Also, the fact that Aiden has sold 85,000 to Saves the Day's 50k makes me want to vomit.

[bid]

Anything on Cute this week?

[Jerbot]

Where the bronx at?

[ThisIsNotDan]

bronx sold like 4000

AAF is in the top 200

[TheSceneStealer]

interesting thing that i learned

apparently gold and platinum numbers are in comparison to how many discs sold, so actually even though they would only sell 166,667 albums, the early november would actually go gold, how this makes sense i dont know but my brother explained it to me

so lets get them to gold at least

[WarpSpeedChewy]

Nice to see Cartel is doing a bit better. Can't wait to see them get over 100,000. It's great to see Dog Problems is selling good, and it even hasn't even been out that long.

But The Futureheads' album 'News And Tributes' deserves to be doing alot better than it is. I'm disapointed with how Vagrant has done with them. I don't think I've seen any good marketing for that record. And The Futureheads is one of best bands on Vagrant.

[NameTaken69]

The Early November
The Format
Cartel
Saves the Day

everyone who doesn't own these albums is missing out! these are all amazingly talented and hard-working bands who deserve all the success in the world.
i agree, i wish STD would sell over 50,000 at least. such an amazing album

[Everiggs]

Cartel will surely spike if we get them on TRL...

[AEast317]

i dont see why people arent buying thursdays album

why would the ppl who baught war all the time NOT buy a city? do they not know its out? i dont get it.

also, more ppl need to buy protest the hero's album.

[LillieDesigns]

Go on the TRL website, sign up, and write in Hair-The Early November. People don't like TRL and what it does to bands, but it's the only way these alblums are going to sell consistently.

[brent_ster]

i love tens new record and yes i want protest the hero to sell more i live in canada so ive had that record for almost a year now i also hope alexisonfires new album does good

where is moneen and the bronx on these charts

and yeah the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are doing good i hope they get gold or platinum well im out

[chokeychicken]

Anything on Cute this week?

yep.

just in: they still blow.

[brent_ster]

Rise Against - Sufferer & The Witness: 15,269 (87,459)

15k in its 3rd week good job to rise against this album is amazing and these guys deserve success keep up the sales guiys also

Angels & Airwaves - We Don't Need to Whisper: 14,231 (330,373)
that is still good for 3 months of release i love this record i dont think its selling as well as delonge hoped it to

The Early November - The Mother, the Mechanic & The Path: 8,579 (34,646)
hope these guys keep selling well

[JunkBondTrader]

it was actually a hockey game they all went too for some little chicago team
it was probably the Chicago Wolves.....ive been to a few of those games in my day.

[TheEndofGravity]

yep.

just in: they still blow.


hahahaha good call.

[CrazeeJaney]

yep.

just in: they still blow.
haha!

[tenminutes]

i dont see why people arent buying thursdays album

why would the ppl who baught war all the time NOT buy a city? do they not know its out? i dont get it.

also, more ppl need to buy protest the hero's album.

because their first single was terrible. choosing the wrong single will kill an album.

[Jason Tate]

stfu. the album didn't do well. get over it. not everyone has hard-ons for thursday like you do.
An email I just got:

Hey jason-
just noticed kids on your board arguing about why we're selling less than 700 a week... we've actually [been] between 2-5k since warped started and the records at about 106,000 after 2 and a half months. So it's actually doing pretty well. just thought I'd let you know so the kids don't have to argue about it.
geoff

So all of you can stop bitching now - the band's excited about where they are - tell your friends to buy their CD, because it's damn good.

[CrazeeJaney]

hahaha oh geoff.

[Nate_RAWKS]

hahahaha pwn...awesome...

Hey Geoff you want to make a trip up to Toronto....please???

[dukeboy1986]

i agree.. where's the working title? that cd is amazing and needs to be heard... also I think its awesome, that Underoath is still outselling Keane overall. both great albums that came out on the same day, but one has major label support, radioplay and everything... Underoath has about 1/10 of the money behind them and they're still selling almost 15k in their 5th week. i love it.

Ummm, well I live in NC and I had to search long and hard to even find the CD so the distribution needs to be better for a major label record.

[Drew Beringer]

My only suggestion is to buy The Hush Sound, the best pop piano rock album that I've heard this year.

[shes.a.ghost]

My only suggestion is to buy The Hush Sound, the best pop piano rock album that I've heard this year.
It is really good.
but I really hope "pop piano rock" does not become a common term used to classify bands.

[Bad Karma]

I don't really understand the popularity of compilations like Now 22 seeing as people have the ability to burn their own discs from downloads. But there it is at the top of the charts. Guess I shouldn't become a record exec.

and also that's great news to hear from the format. they deserve good sales.

[Baconrocks]

errr...where is Cute...you put Cheyenne on the list put not cute. Panic.....damn.....I used to be in love with them. I dont care about how many records people have sold, I wanna know how many people bought the album for either one song, who actually enjoy the album, and how many people illegally download it.

The fact that Aiden's album is even close to the amount that FFTL has sold for heroine is pathetic. Heroine was the most amazing album of the year for me, they should have Silversteins numbers by now. And seriously, I see FFTL fans everywheere. Seriously, too many people illegally download. At least get the album of your free trial at Emusic....they have the whole epitaph collection. I just got TREOS's and Cartels for free and its legal....free trials rule

[PaintTheTarget]

still, seriously...what's up with the working title??? anybody got some info on how they sold?...it was their first week and i had no idea what to expect from them

[xbrokendownx]

when cheyenne turns 18, im all over that

her sister aint bad either

[Drew Beringer]

It is really good.
but I really hope "pop piano rock" does not become a common term used to classify bands.
haha I know that it was horrible term, I was just putting out all the sounds I hear in the record into one thing haha

[lewisonfire]

the new thursday album..soooo goood, probably their best yet...so happy for them.

[shesautomatic]

why are people still buying "Now Thats What I Call Music"?

[monkeyboyrock]

beat me too it! silly rohan. :) thanks dude.

Cartel - Chroma: 4,508 (72,791)

I rediscovered them this week - they're gaining some steam.


Dude!!! I heard them on the sound system at American Eagle last weekend...what the FUCK (in a good way)!!!

[Alex Djaferis]

how is vheissu doing

[sexualrobot]

beat me too it! silly rohan. :) thanks dude.

Cartel - Chroma: 4,508 (72,791)

I rediscovered them this week - they're gaining some steam.
yeah, they rock!

My band is playing with them on sept 6th

[sexualrobot]

Red Jumpsuit... Congrats!

[Bury Your Head]

im glad cute isnt selling well and that thursday is actually selling decent. we need to go out and buy the bronx and std. im also happy with halifax whats going on with that?
