Hawthorne Heights - If Only You Were Lonely: 2,373 (404,177)


More money to douche extraordinaire...

[Jason Tate]

The Fray - How to Save a Life: 25,667 (719,364)

They all of a sudden really started selling - good for them, that's a good CD.

Snakes On A Plane Soundtrack: 18,523 (18,546)

Gabe's new project could catch a wave off of this and finally rocket the guy to super-stardom. I hope for the best, I love that man.

The Living End - State of Emergency: 693 (7,017)

I think this is the best album on that list - and it's only selling 700 copies? That pisses me right off. Damn Americans, get it right.

This week and next week's charts are what I really am interested in.

[Josh Lansing]

Good for All Time Low. I would say thats pretty solid for them.

[ATDIdakota]

Bravo to Cartel and Gym Class. GCH is being played on Q101 here in Chicago which is the big alternative station...real big things in that bands future. Also, I may have missed it but what promotion was there for RJA? I haven't heard any radio play, they haven't been on any big tour and they are selling quite well. They still haven't pleased me yet though and I keep trying to give them a chance...

[melvicious]

dane cook still going strong!

[Josh Lansing]

I saw Dane Cook live on Saturday night when I was in LA he needs to crack a million. he deserves it so much

[Josh Lansing]

The new Gym Class is Great. Give track 12 a listen. Makes me wanna go have sex with my high school teachers. even though it was 10 years ago

[Rohan Kohli]

RJA's sales amaze me: 25, 16, 15, 15, 14 or something like that

[imajerk]

all time low is crushing. the craziest part is that its an EP. their 4th week is better than GAD's 2nd. I bet majors are going nuts over them

[Josh Lansing]

am I the only Nick Lachey fan in this room?

[Jason Tate]

RJA's sales amaze me: 25, 16, 15, 15, 14 or something like that
I know. That's damn good for that band - all the promo on "On Demand" and on Fuse seems to have really paid off. I hope Virgin does the same for the rest of their artists - because that'd be amazing.

[Jason Tate]

am I the only Nick Lachey fan in this room?
:huh:

[Jason Tate]

all time low is crushing. the craziest part is that its an EP. their 4th week is better than GAD's 2nd. I bet majors are going nuts over them
I would expect it. They're drawing very well on the current AP.net/PV.com tour.

[Josh Lansing]

RJA put out a pretty decent disc. I was a little nervous purchasing it but it was worth it.

[Josh Lansing]

hows the Pink Spiders cd? anyone?

[romantic rights]

The Living End - State of Emergency: 693 (7,017)



more people need to buy this.

[Jason Tate]

hows the Pink Spiders cd? anyone?
I heard one song and it took years off my life.

But hey, I like bad music.

[Josh Lansing]

i'm all over the subways' cd right now

[Jason Tate]

more people need to buy this.
That band's all I've been listening to all week - they're fucking incredible. Chris is one of the best guitarists no one talks about. I think they're making a run at my top 5 bands of all time. Seriously.

[btbam > you]

That band's all I've been listening to all week - they're fucking incredible. Chris is one of the best guitarists no one talks about. I think they're making a run at my top 5 bands of all time. Seriously.

chris is absolutely incredible

[chcougar1]

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is doing a headlining run...

AP.net should post what i sent in haha

but I only know 2 dates:)

[chcougar1]

oh...and cartel is down about 500 this week from last haha....still pretty consistent though!

[romantic rights]

That band's all I've been listening to all week - they're fucking incredible. Chris is one of the best guitarists no one talks about. I think they're making a run at my top 5 bands of all time. Seriously.

my 2 friends that went to warped tour with me had no idea who the living end were, and by the end of their set i was missing skin from being thrown onto the ground and they had become instant fans. that band is just amazing.

[James Johnson]

Rise Against has well and truly passed 100k I am happy. Except The Living End not even getting 700 thats sickeningly bad. Its a great album come on people!

[brainfreeze]

if a band re-releases a cd (ie. MCS - commit this to memory) does those sales still count towards the normal release? or is it classed asa different release?

[Signals Corrupted]

how many did under the influence of giants sell this week - jason, if you wouldnt mind looking that bit of information up for me, i'd greatly appreciate it

[DaveHallow]

if a band re-releases a cd (ie. MCS - commit this to memory) does those sales still count towards the normal release? or is it classed asa different release?

The sales count towards the same release as normal.

[saysmydoctor]

The sales count towards the same release as normal.
Then I'm an MCS sale...bout the rerelease.

[Brandon Allin]

I'm also a big fan of the new record from The Living End.

[alexxxisonfire]

what was the last word on how Thursday's new CD was doing?
i heard it was low low low even though it's a very good record.

[flip]

i'm curious about vheissu....any sales totals to date. also, i wonder if island is happy with thrice's sales...

(ballpark numbers are fine...if anyone has any idea please respond)

[Signals Corrupted]

i'm curious about vheissu....any sales totals to date. also, i wonder if island is happy with thrice's sales...

(ballpark numbers are fine...if anyone has any idea please respond)

if i had to make a total guess, i'd say about 380,000 - i could be way off, but i dont know how it did whatsoever

[Nolessthanblink]

Cartel's FINALLY going to get 100k next week. That's beautiful.

Also glad to see TBS closing in on gold... and to see Halifax back on these charts (even if the numbers are a little disappointing for how good that album is)

[PunkVideoGuys]

if i had to make a total guess, i'd say about 380,000 - i could be way off, but i dont know how it did whatsoever

i think it's waaaaay less than that...like maybe approaching 200K?

[PlusDanny]

RJA's single has been playing on XM and Sirius alternative stations since at least April or so and has constantly been in rotation since then, so their sales don't surprise me at all.

I'm glad the Fray is doing well too, because they put on a beautiful live show and the CD is just really captivating.

[com(?)]

Why Are Panic At The Disco Still Selling Albums?!!?1?!?1

[TgE ARTdamage]

HAHAHAHA.

P!ATD are the new Killers.

Seriously - how many singles to the Killers have off their current album now? 6? 7?


I really wish I knew how well Park is doing. That's the album of the year for me so far. With The Human Abstract as a close second.

[BettyDavisDance]

congrats to All Time Low, those are good numbers for them... can we get some numbers for Punchline and Saves The Day?

[xllirikx]

AVA hasn't reached a million yet,
Goo Goo Dolls are doing terrible
No one is buying the new GAD CD.


wow.

[xllirikx]

They all of a sudden really started selling - good for them, that's a good CD.



Gabe's new project could catch a wave off of this and finally rocket the guy to super-stardom. I hope for the best, I love that man.

This week and next week's charts are what I really am interested in.

next week is cursive, i'm pretty excited about it. i want to see how it sold.

[melvicious]

Why Are Panic At The Disco Still Selling Albums?!!?1?!?1

Yea, I asked that same question last week.

[CHRISRIPPEDOUT]

I love seeing major label super hyped bands being outsold by indie bands.....

[Chemical Love]

How do those Now music CDs sell so well?

[Slaur]

I really do not understand The Living End's numbers.Is it a distribution issue or a marketing issue?That band is awesome!

[youareallfreaks]

I know. That's damn good for that band - all the promo on "On Demand" and on Fuse seems to have really paid off. I hope Virgin does the same for the rest of their artists - because that'd be amazing.


true. go over it!

[youareallfreaks]

i still want to know the numbers for dog problems, can you not get stats b/c they are on their own label now or something?

[satanisanerd]

Goo Goo Dolls are doing terrible



wow.

I know, it's really sad about the Goo Goo Dolls because in my opinion it's one of the best releases of 06'. Every song could be a single off that record.

I am eagerly waiting for next week when I can buy Much the Same and Over It.

[C480RG]

all time low is crushing. the craziest part is that its an EP. their 4th week is better than GAD's 2nd. I bet majors are going nuts over them
Im nothing more than stoked about these numbers for ATL, its fucking nuts... but these numbers for GAD will probably stay the same in all honesty... i havent seen much promo for the album (i may be blind) and with them not touring the states for a long while, there wont be too much boost in numbers on a week to week basis. regardless, its a fucking good album.

I know. That's damn good for that band - all the promo on "On Demand" and on Fuse seems to have really paid off. I hope Virgin does the same for the rest of their artists - because that'd be amazing.
id also think the fact that when you go into best buy, they will play that song throughout the store would be a good source of promotion.

im VERY interested on sales of the new over it, spitalfield and jonezetta cds.. i wonder how well the Park cd has sold... THATS another solid cd.

[PezMullet]

Why Are Panic At The Disco Still Selling Albums?!!?1?!?1


Why the fuck do you put capital letters at the beginning of every word?

[JustAn0th3rFace]

:( wheres ATAL

[brent_ster]

Hellogoodbye - Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!: 15,636 (56,181)
wow that many after 2 weeks of release this cxd is doing great which is good it is a great album definetly different

Unearth - III: In the Eyes of Fire: 8,642 (30,700)

The Early November - Mother Mechanic & The Path: 3,258 (53,956)
wow they arent staying very consistant anymore


A Change of Pace - Prepare the Masses: 5,197 (5,222)
oh man i love this cd i hope it says at this rate very solid album way to go guys


Angels & Airwaves - We Don't Need to Whisper: 8,990 (373,267)
OMG i hope Plus 44 kills ava Tom Delonge is a douche bag doesnt look like his type helped yeah rock and roll revoulution my ass

Hawthorne Heights - If Only You Were Lonely: 2,373 (404,177)
is victory records gonna stop shipping this cd since hawthorne left and sued them and whats going on with that lawqsuit i havent heard much

[gregplaysdrums]

How do those Now music CDs sell so well?

because people usually will buy the songs that they know and most often, the other songs on those band's cds suck anyway. Its just people paying for the songs they like

[lightcollapse]

i'm excited for cursive's numbers.

so, thursday and thrice both flopped? motherfucker.

i can understand thursday (production is the only thing keeping it from being AOTY, with the bad production it's not even top 20) but vheissu is one of my favorite albums of all time, and it should crush AITA in sales. well that's what they get for not releasing atlantic as a single i guess.

i wonder how many the format have sold.

[NJUNDERDOG]

gatsbys sales should be higher, that album is really good and plus it was only 7.99 the week it came out in best buy. cartel sales might push higher next week because they played on kimmel last night. panic is still selling well because of all the vma hype.

[Dan CiTi]

i'm curious about vheissu....any sales totals to date. also, i wonder if island is happy with thrice's sales...

(ballpark numbers are fine...if anyone has any idea please respond) It should be 11 million.

[absolutecrunk]

how is the billy talent album doing in the states? i know it is doing terribly but i need an exact number. or how can i find soundscan for canada or germany? BT albums sell like hotcakes over there. And hotcakes also sell a lot more over there so the phrase has a lot more currency. The American hotcake trade export has really taken a fall this century. But hotcakes still sell like hotcakes in Germany. And so do Billy Talent records. Suckas.

[kevinhagan]

jacks mannequin? paramore? head automatica?

[Signals Corrupted]

jacks mannequin? paramore? head automatica?

lol

[kevinhagan]

lol

for real though. they have to be seeling somewhat

[Troy will Fall]

lets go Dane!
you'll get platinum soon enough.

[bung]

HAHAHAHA.

P!ATD are the new Killers.

Seriously - how many singles to the Killers have off their current album now? 6? 7?

.

only four actually, i believe. somebody told me, mr. brightside, smile like you mean it, and all these things that i've done. or maybe it was even three, i can't remember if smile.. was actually a single, but anyway that's not that many. although, i never watch music on television or listen to the radio, so i may have missed some, heh.

[MasonR5]

more people need to buy All Time Low, TEN, and GCH. those were probably my top 3 cds of the summer.

[xcandynecklacex]

yay! for a change of pace!

[brianl7]

As Tall As Lions?

[Co and Ca]

Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics: 341,988 (342,608)

She got soul, She got class.
She got style with her bad ass.

[falloutcollapse]

Bravo to Cartel and Gym Class. GCH is being played on Q101 here in Chicago which is the big alternative station...real big things in that bands future. Also, I may have missed it but what promotion was there for RJA? I haven't heard any radio play, they haven't been on any big tour and they are selling quite well. They still haven't pleased me yet though and I keep trying to give them a chance...

i heard them on KISS FM in chicago the other day. I got really excited.

[Branevember31]

ha yeah thats like American Idiot. they got "American Idiot" "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" "Wake Me Up When September Ends" "Holiday" and some other one i think.

[ShervonEsf]

Im happy for A Change of Pace. 5,222 is a legit number. Im expecting the overall sales of this album to be a lot higher than many people would expect.

[Gleebo]

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


The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Don't You Fake It: 14,938 (87,299)



Can I sell mine back and take one away from the sales total?

The Cartel revolution is still a slow moving one....its still gonna happen.

Wonder what Say Anything has been doing now that I see Target has their album marked at $8.99 and apparantly they are starting to get more radio plays.

[NameTaken69]

for some reason i get really mad when i see panic! selling more than RHCP

[Chris Fallon]

Wow, I didn't realize Scary Kids Scaring Kids were doing so well. I mean, I know 50,000 isn't as good as some major lebel artists, but for being on such a tiny imprint without any real promotion, I think that's pretty damn good. Same with Halifax...30K w/o any big video or single? Good for them.

[fearthesloths]

i'm surprised christina aguleria (or whatever) didn't sell so much more than that.

[r3wind74]

Great numbers:
HGB now at 56k selling 15 the 2nd week out is very strong, I was fearing a big opening number than a huge drop off though maybe this cd has some real power behind it? I haven't heard anything on the radio from them...yet....so must be good word of mouth going around.
Cartel at 94k 100k next week it seems...some article said they shipped 115k or 112k, either way, they should break 150k when all is said and done. The 2nd single is Say Anything (else) I think..or so it seems to be that.
TEN at 54k steady at around 5-4k which should pop up a bit w/the NFG tour or so I would hope. I am hoping for 100k though I wouldnt mind seeing them support a bigger band in hopes of more sales/expanding fan base which is hard to do when headlining since most of the time, people already have your stuff when they go see you headline.
Halifax ar 30k Took a while but 30 is efn great for these guys no? I see 50k as an easy target (isnt that indie gold?) esp since they on support tours which should help sales out.

DTR is back on track (or so i hope) w/the last 3 cd releases going to clear 50k each..not too shabby.

[aminorthreat55]

Are you kidding? That's a terrible drop. Anything greater than a 50% drop is not a good indicator of longevity, especially in the second week.
