[Greg Dona]

Here's some sales numbers for you to wrap your heads around:


Coldplay (Rush of Blood..) - 32,234

are you shitting me? damn!

[I Shoot Bands]

go coldplay i knew this was going to happen and i've been saying it for about a month or two now. it's probably going to stay like this for a while too. this album is def going to break some sort of record.

[Jason Tate]

are these numbers from last week or total album sales?
last week.

[xRevengeISeekx]

i thought avenged would have sold more

[ParadigM]

Its not even THAT good. Yes, its a decent album, but its nothing incredible. Thats the music industry though.

[Cottage Cheese]

That's impressive number for Coldplay... but it's nowhere near NSYNC's 2.4 million first week sales back in 1999.
And yes... I keep track of all of NSYNC's sales records.

[Name]

so someone fill me in...those A7X numbers are probably a little disapointing to the band and label right? or is that average for a major label debut that doesnt get radio play (that i know of at least)?

[awfmike]

avenged had a pretty average debut.. not too dissapointing. they basically were going on their underground credibility and word of mouth, as you wont see much of a push on major markets.

still decent numbers.

You can't really classify it as bad but im not sure what they were looking to do

[duffe]

coldplay : :appl:

Fall Out Boy - 25,284

You didn't see the numbers for The MCS or MxPx albums did you? The only two albums i bought last week aren't on that list.

[unwritten]

Coldplay sure cleaned up well last week. Damn. Good album for sure though.

[Justan]

shooooie!!! coldplay is rollin' in the benjamins!

[radiofriendly]

And yes... I keep track of all of NSYNC's sales records.

hehe, scene points for you....i guess....

[projectmayhem16]

I guess the Finch album isn't doing too bad after all, oh and where are the people who said they were going to laugh at me when the numbers came in?

[thispostscript]

i'm very glad to see the finch record sold quite well, that record is good as hell

[Chemical Love]

Congrats to Coldplay.

[The Silencer]

ugh, why are green day still selling albums... :headshake

[OhShitDude]

Finch - 41,528
Avenged Sevenfold - 29,286

Anyone else kind of suprised by finch selling over 10,000 more records than a7x? As a big finch fan I love to see them do well but due to the album being pushed back so many times and the sucess of a7x's last album I expected them to sell at least as many albums if not more than finch did. And I would also love to know how many albums Motion City Sold last week since I feel there record was the best of the releases.

[konstantine94]

its crazy that coldplays OLD cd and green day are still doing that well.

[InaGreendase]

I thought it was a bit surprising at first, too, but you have to realize you're talking about FINCH. Yeah, Avenged Sevenfold got pretty big with the Hot Topic crowd and the horrendous music video showing such, but it's still Finch, essentially the martyr for every non-technical "sing/scream" band that followed WIITB.

[seans seatbelt]

For some reason I thought Fall Out Boy would have more sales than that.

[Cottage Cheese]

For some reason I thought Fall Out Boy would have more sales than that.

you can thank all the piraters for that.

[KalwithaK11]

Coldplay def. deserves that much sales. The album is mos def one of the best this year. Even if your a hardcore scene kid, im sure u can find room in your heart for some coldplay.. lol Musicaly its really good and original. :love:

[Mercy Medical]

You didn't see the numbers for The MCS or MxPx albums did you? The only two albums i bought last week aren't on that list.
That's what I was wondering. How did the new MxPx album fair?

[ThisIsSoBrandNw]

ugh, why are green day still selling albums... :headshake

Um well lets think about this one. Because it was a very good album. And I'd like to know why you sound disapointed that they still are selling that well.

Also yea, does anyone know Green Day's overall scans, cuz that cd continues to sell ALOT every week

[Nate_RAWKS]

For some reason I thought Fall Out Boy would have more sales than that.


You do know that it wasn't their first week of release right?

[ThisIsSoBrandNw]

You do know that it wasn't their first week of release right? They sold over 200,000 in the first week and they were #9 on the Bilboard top 200.

Im pretty sure FOB didnt sell that many, Im fairly postive that I remember the scans being around 40,000-50,000. But the #9 is correct for sure

[Nate_RAWKS]

Also yea, does anyone know Green Day's overall scans, cuz that cd continues to sell ALOT every week


I was wondering the same thing.

Im pretty sure FOB didnt sell that many, Im fairly postive that I remember the scans being around 40,000-50,000. But the #9 is correct for sure


haha sorry my bad i just read this article wrong.

[Jason Tate]

Eh .. it was like 75,000 first week

[ThisIsSoBrandNw]

Eh .. it was like 75,000 first week

o yea, sorry i wasnt sure, i thought i read like 47,000 but yea, i rememberd being fairly disapointed it didnt do better.

[Piece of Mind]

how did MCS do?

[Jason Tate]

how did MCS do?
not sure.. not top 50 or so from what i can see..

[ThisIsSoBrandNw]

not sure.. not top 50 or so from what i can see..

that disapoints me cuz that is a amazing album, and it sucked how early it got leaked and all those kids who said they would buy it didnt...... :headshake

[ForeverInADay]

I guess the Finch album isn't doing too bad after all, oh and where are the people who said they were going to laugh at me when the numbers came in?
that wasn't me, but i still think that album was awful.

[EveryNewDay]

go Coldplay! X&Y is amazing and i'm glad so many people picked it up this week.

[richie]

it sucks no one bought mcs come on its one of th ebest thing ive heard in years

[Jason Tate]

that disapoints me cuz that is a amazing album, and it sucked how early it got leaked and all those kids who said they would buy it didnt...... :headshake
very true .. mxpx and mcs are both not in the top 100.. ill ask around for soundscan lata.

[Piece of Mind]

not sure.. not top 50 or so from what i can see..
damn i think the leak hurt them alot

[LPMagic]

very true .. mxpx and mcs are both not in the top 100.. ill ask around for soundscan lata.

That's a tragedy.

- Jeff

[projectmayhem16]

that wasn't me, but i still think that album was awful.and I still think you should walk into oncoming traffic :animateds

[I.O]

Finch is going to get dropped. What were A static lullabys numbers?

[zombies_revolt]

That's impressive number for Coldplay... but it's nowhere near NSYNC's 2.4 million first week sales back in 1999.
And yes... I keep track of all of NSYNC's sales records.


nice.

i throw up on NIN and Trent Reznor.

[falloutboykid]

even tho its from last week surprised that finch has more then falloutboy
but good for them

and does anyone know when the link bout the bands from andrew will be active?

[love2hateme]

:shocked:



Does anyone know how many albums Green Day has sold up to date?



no but why would anyone care..... thats funny fall out boy is still up there

[solargrrl]

i thought avenged would have sold more

that is sort of a lot, considering their actual fan base is waning.

damn i think the leak hurt them alot

I don't think the leak hurt MCS that bad, some albums like this take time to get word of mouth out there. Epitaph really pushed the promos in the last week before the album, but it wasn't an all on on slot for a month (or months) like, say, Fall Out Boys promo was. It'll pick up, and they are probably one of those bands that sell more at shows than kids walking into Best Buy looking for something new to buy.

[two_days_slow]

even tho its from last week surprised that finch has more then falloutboy

Of course Finch has more, it just came out.

[ForeverInADay]

and I still think you should walk into oncoming traffic :animateds
hahahaha double dog dare me? :animateds

[oxfordqueef]

i am disappointed that MCS didn't do that well. i think it's one of the best, if not, the best album out this year. Speaking of awesome albums, I can't wait to see Foo Fighters numbers next week.

[AFSjulian]

Seeing numbers like Coldplay's this week is amazing to me. Being in a band of my own, I got excited when we moved a thousand records over the course of a year. That really is a fucking huge number of albums and I give them credit.

I too am disappointed and pretty shocked that Motion City Soundtrack didn't make the top fifty. In my mind, this was a major label album (Tom Lord Alge did some of the mixing ... he's the best in that corner of recording, in my opinion) that really would've benifited from major label money, much like Fall Out Boy's did. Regardless, I think it'll do well and that they'll probably make the jump after this.

Speaking of Fall Out Boy, I think their numbers will continue to be steady, if not increase. They were #7 on TRL today ... that audience is starting to eat them up. It's what happened to My Chemical Romance all over again.

[seans seatbelt]

You do know that it wasn't their first week of release right?

My bad.
I didn't realize it was for last week. Thought it was overall.

[Nate_RAWKS]

no but why would anyone care.....


Are you saying no ones cares about Green Day? Did i read that right?

[Piece of Mind]

I don't think the leak hurt MCS that bad, some albums like this take time to get word of mouth out there. Epitaph really pushed the promos in the last week before the album, but it wasn't an all on on slot for a month (or months) like, say, Fall Out Boys promo was. It'll pick up, and they are probably one of those bands that sell more at shows than kids walking into Best Buy looking for something new to buy.
i think it did. there was alot of word of mouth about this cd.... 3 MONTHS AGO. alot of buzz was created and died out even before the cd came out. i think its a shame. unlike the new Finch cd(which i love) only leaked 2 weeks before release date so all the buzz was still around for the opening week. I'm sure the MCS will sell better as time goes but eh i guess i was hoping better.

[BrandNizzle]

seeing as how i am lazy, does anyone conveniently know roughly how many copies Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head sold in their debut weeks?

[dubbo]

Cream rises to the top........and that FOB album is a dud , they are doing well to sell 25k

[fueledbyadam]

Cream rises to the top........and that FOB album is a dud , they are doing well to sell 25k

how is 185,000 records sold in 6 weeks (with minimal touring) a dud?

[moonlights]

that wasn't me, but i still think that album was awful.
agreed.

[number1alien]

Coldplay deserves every sale they got. X&Y is fucking incredible.

[elvalution]

the green day album has sold around 3.5 million copies so far

[eric5776]

For those who care, Finch will sell roughly 40,000 this week putting them in the Top 50.

[popdisaster00]

anyone know MCS sales?

[Dob]

damn coldplay just bitched everyone

not that its a bad/good thing (just to clear up confusion so i dont get more negative points)

[seans seatbelt]

how is 185,000 records sold in 6 weeks (with minimal touring) a dud?

He probably made the same mistake I made, and thought these were total sales.
I thought those numbers were overall, as well.

[xsavesthelinex]

i think Finch pulling 40k is pretty damn good considering they haven't released in album in like 3 years and from what I can see, they are't getting that much promotion...


I'm starting to like Say Hello to sunshine alot

[CalamityRecords]

avenged sevenfold (30k) isn't bad considering their last effort only had first week sales of 5k.

finch (41k) isn't that great though and I was expecting more. Especially because WIITB sold 67k in the first week. I quite like the new album.

coldplay's sales are phenomenal and they deserve it, i'm a big fan of X+Y.

green day totalling at 3.5m someone said above is insane too.

motion city soundtrack - not sure what they got but don't worry if its not great first week sales because their last effort sold 78k and only had a first week of 2.1k. Once they are on the road supporting it, have a video and from playing warped, their sales will boost dramatically.

i'm interested in seeing figures for the warped compilation because at one point it was outselling both avenged sevenfold and finch.

[xdrummerxdudex]

is there anyway next time you do this that you get the total amount of copeis sold? i know green day has sold over 3 million and i want to keep an eye on weezer and fall out boy's sales but i don't have the total.

[xBennyHinnx]

any clue how the mxpx album did the first week?

[vegasbabyvegas]

Motion City Soundtrack landed at: #72 and sold 15993

[CalamityRecords]

Motion City Soundtrack landed at: #72 and sold 15993

that's very decent.

[dashboard1190]

the coldplay cd is great. it puts me to sleep, which I guess is good (considering i listen before i fall asleep)

[infinite]

who the hell's buying the white stripes album? get behind me satan is the worst white stripes album ever.

[Nate_RAWKS]

the green day album has sold around 3.5 million copies so far

Thanks

[JAX]

Im like a 5 yr old on crack TODAY!! this is soo cool!

Coldplay actually sold 737, 294 copies of X&Y.

A rush of blood to the head and Parachutes are #1 and #2 respectively on the Catalog Charts

#1 debut in 22 countries all over the world!!!!!

I think I owe mr chris martin a fruit basket

[tytyty]

that wasn't me, but i still think that album was awful.

Yup.

[_all_star_me_]

i still havent gotten my hands on the new coldplay record. i dont have enough cash on me. i want that record bad.

its kinda crazy how green day still sells nearlly 40,000. i mean its not like its just a spark and took place this week, its like every week they sell 35-40k. hasnt everyone bought it yet? i wonder how long this will go on for. but good for them. american idiot is amazing.

[OhShitDude]

Motion City Soundtrack landed at: #72 and sold 15993
Once people relize that Motion City put of the best album last week there sales will incease. For those of you have have listen'd to it what do you think? And for those of you who haven't go pick it up because you wont be disapointed.
