[weworemasks]

fuckin a...2 weeks and coldplay is platinum. ridiculous.

[chaoticXpunk]

Awesome for Coldplay. I love that record.

Is anyone else surprised that Green Day is still selling that many?

[paul manley]

from under the corktree - worst album of 2005. i expected soo much better.

[Name]

Is anyone else surprised that Green Day is still selling that many?


not really...the american idiots are really eating that cd up

[the rog]

you fuckers need to go out and buy the damn FOB album if you love it so much.

[chitty]

i believe the green day, since its the best cd of the past 5 years easily and quite obviously kills all of their previous works to date.

[ForeverInADay]

i believe the green day, since its the best cd of the past 5 years easily and quite obviously kills all of their previous works to date.
oh wow. no. not in my opinion. Dookies way better

[paul manley]

yeah new green day sucks too.

[Jason Tate]

yeah new green day sucks too.
Good to see you have such a postive outlook on music .. why come here and comment about what you don't like? Say something postive.

Dookie >> American Idiot

[American Idling]

Any update on other releases from last week? I read that other stuff on Yahoo! earlier, but they didn't have MCS, MXPX, etc.

I'll ask around. Haven't heard.

[xbrokendownx]

oh here we go...

[paul manley]

the motion city soundtrack cd is good. personally, i wouldn't really call it new considering most people (including me) had it back in march.

[youcomebeforeyo]

Find out about MCS!

Good on the Foo Fighters for a pretty solid debut. I'm curious as to what the new Finch record sold this week too.

[midtown]

from under the corktree - worst album of 2005. i expected soo much better.

if i were jason tate and wanted a higher post count, i would make up users and post this in every thread. it must be a conspiracy to get more posts and views and charge more per ad. that is the only conclusion i can come to, at least.


or fall out boy sucks
alright i just wanted to pre-empt that one, it was surely coming.

[American Idling]

Sure hope you went and bought a copy of the CD when it was "released" and not "leaked". Band's gotta eat.

[Gitch]

I'm surprised foo fighters didn't debut at #1.

[manican sex]

dookie! brings me back to my childhood.

[aminorthreat55]

forget buying coldplay, get northstars dvd!
Matthew B. Squire (the Squizzle Dizzle) is wearing a DIS shirt in it

[Sleepingismy925]

I wonder how many times American Idiot has gone platinum. I'd say at least 4.

[InaGreendase]

you fuckers need to go out and buy the damn FOB album if you love it so much.

The fucking album has sold over 200,000 copies already. I think they're doing alright so far.

As I Lay Dying debuted at 35. Seriously, WTF???

MxPx did another 7317, they're up to 22K now.
MCS did another 7689, they're up to just under 24K now.

And for this dude...

I wonder how many times American Idiot has gone platinum. I'd say at least 4.

It's just under 3.7 million.

[Nate_RAWKS]

yeah new green day sucks too.


Really ?! Do you have a reason or................not.......???

That's your opinion and i'm cool with that but i would just like you to explain to me/us why you think it sucks.

MxPx did another 7317, they're up to 22K now.
MCS did another 7689, they're up to just under 24K now.


Thanks

[American Idling]

Can I ask where you get your numbers from?

[eric5776]

Good on the Foo Fighters for a pretty solid debut. I'm curious as to what the new Finch record sold this week too.

Finch dropped about 66%-They did a little over 13,000 this week...lots of room to improve though...

[noles05]

the number machine

[aminorthreat55]

DIS own but you pimp that shirt fact out alot
This is only the 2nd time I said it. Vince brought it up at least twice, and my other time was in response to his original one.

[InaGreendase]

Can I ask where you get your numbers from?

Soundscan. You have to subscribe, and it costs a lot.

[number1alien]

Coldplay deserves every record sale they've gotten. X&Y is incredible.

[weworemasks]

oh wow. no. not in my opinion. Dookies way better

read the dudes post. he said 5 years. not the past 11 years.
dookie was released in 94. use your brain.

[thispostscript]

Good to see you have such a postive outlook on music .. why come here and comment about what you don't like? Say something postive.

Dude ok, i do understand someone can atleast say why they dislike a certain album instead of just saying "it sucks" but obviously you cant be completely positive on everything musically, people have their dislikes and interests, just is the same with the cd reviewing, why bs and say you think something is awesome if you dislike it?

[Northstar1245]

I finally got to buy the MCS cd this week even though I've had it as long as everyone else...I also bought TREOS which is worth all the hype it has gotten here....sucks Coldplay had just come out or else the Foo would have gotten number one...but the Coldplay cd is great so it deserves it too

Oh, and Dookie owns American Idiot

[BrandNizzle]

i wonder if 'a rush of blood...' had good sales this week like last week....holy shit that was crazy, selling 35,000 of that album last week, let alone the 737,000+ copies of x&y. I happened to be one of those people who bought both albums last week, even though I had rush of blood burned since it came out.

[WRV12]

What about No Use For A Name?

[EveryNewDay]

good to see that the Foo Fighters had their best week ever on the charts. In Your Honor is a stellar album. congrats again to Coldplay as well.

[SicTrnsitGloria]

As I Lay Dying sold more than FOB?....weird. I mean i guess FOB is relatively old, but they had the #3 TRL video. I would have expected more.

[youcomebeforeyo]

Wow, MXPX is selling fuck all.

[Lemieux66]

Soundscan. You have to subscribe, and it costs a lot.

Actually, pretty sure that he gets them from hitsdailydouble.com, as I've seen the numbers here and there match up perfectly, but both are usually slightly off from the numbers directly from soundscan. This also explains why the only albums listed are the ones from the building sales chart. Soundscan has access to every cd ever, so I'm sure bands like MCS, MxPx, etc would be mentioned if he had access to those numbers.

Also, 33,000+ for As I Lay Dying...that is fucking incredible.

[YCfan]

Coldplay is crazy huge..and they deserve it..but besides being all over tv and on soundtracks and stuff..i haven't really herd anybody talking about it..its prob just the people i hang out with..i did hear someone mention it once..i work as a server a this local pasta place..and this guy came in for a to go..and he said he daughter was out in the car cranking the new coldplay (not sure why he said that)..but it was cool..i was like oh yea i got that cd..its awesome..i thought it was cool this dad liked it and stuff.and he said he was gona try and go the concert down in orlando..i thought that was pretty cool..and i am suprised green day is selling so much..i love green day..they were my first fav..i remember seeing them back in like 94..and i was only 9..my dad didn't like it to much cus he didn't know what it was like..and billy was all telling one side of the crowd to yell Fuc* and the other to yell you..haha..my first experience..and it was great..dookie will always go down as my great first love..but this new cd i haven't really listened to much...it is good..but i liked the older stuff better..i think they should re-release the older ones..dookie and insomniac and nimrod again..i bet they could get some good sales of this new fan base..(maybe they still do sell dookie..i am not sure)..anywho..good on everyone for doing well..

_kevin

P.S. oh and the killers sold 46,725 last week..thats pretty crazy ..that cd has been out awhile as well

[masonic]

I'm surprised foo fighters didn't debut at #1.

There seemed to be a bit of a backlash over the fact that it had DRM technology on it. Looking at how close it was, it may very well have been the difference between a #1 debut and a #2 debut.

[Alex Djaferis]

Awesome for Coldplay. I love that record.

Is anyone else surprised that Green Day is still selling that many?

yes....altho im a huge fan./

[TurnOnTheLight]

Soundscan. You have to subscribe, and it costs a lot.

do you have access to soundscan for professional reasons or just cause you're really curious?

[LewistonSpecial]

I wanna know how starting line and alk3 are doing overall. Starting line didnt seem to be selling as well as they hoped. As I Lay Dying's new disc is pretty insane. They deserve it. NOw if only the red death would sell a shit load of cd's.

[Scott Weber]

As I Lay Dying - Shadows are Security: 34,882
holy fucking shit. that's so many.

[_all_star_me_]

does anyone know what sales were the faff record for this week and last? sorry if last weeks was posted, i guess i missed it.

i really want the mcs and coldplay record. and faff. but they the mcs is like $37 dollars here. which sucks.

oh hey, if you guys like coldplay, check out their labelmates Athlete. If you havent heard of them, you gotta check them out. Check out their lead single 'Wires' off their 2005 release 'Tourist'.

[Justin_stacy]

Looks like someone needs to heed their own words.........

i believe the green day, since its the best cd of the past 5 years easily and quite obviously kills all of their previous works to date.

[weworemasks]

Looks like someone needs to heed their own words.........

i admit defeat. you win :(

edit: dammit, i was excited about that post too. oh well. sorry to the other guy, haha.

[pleasedontpanic]

green day is getting boring. they have more of that mainstream punk sound now, i mean listen to "boulevard of broken dreams", it sounds like a song right out of a nickleback CD. And i'm not bagging on GD, i mean "Dookie" is legendary. but "American Idiot" doesnt do green day just. plus the whole political rock thing gets annoying after the millionth song about it, whether you love or hate the government.

[avitabully]

do you think gwenyth paltrow is wiping her baby's ass with dollar bills these days?

American Idiot does Green Day more justice then any other of there records.

[morte]

Dookie >> American Idiot
Also Nimrod is better in my opinion.

[payforglory]

Matthew B. Squire (the Squizzle Dizzle) is wearing a DIS shirt in it

lets not play that game.

[moonlights]

that's fucking insane that as i lay dying sold that many. wow. congrats to those dudes.

[ishotthepilot]

i think this coldplay record sounds pretty much the same as every other coldplay record.. *shrug*
and a big "meh" to american idiot. again, doesn't do much for me. same with Weezer, i guess im feeling let down by these 'legends.' obviously should be checking out As I Lay Dying though.

[Chemical Love]

Way to go Coldplay, they are cleaning shit up with record sales.

I cant believe Green Day is still selling so many records, congrats to those guys.

Congrats to the Foo Fighters too, thats a pretty good opening week.

[TheComeBackKid]

I wonder how many MxPx has sold...

[clevernapkins]

well, as i lay dying IS the pop punk of metalcore

i hope for the sake of 34,882 people that aild actually made a cohesive album, not just another version of frail words collapse's repetitious nightmare.


good live show though

[CarlRyan]

MXPX sold another 7,093 making that a grand total of 22,457.
No Use For A Name sold 2,814...pretty sad...

Here is a good one for ya...
The 2005 Warped compilation, which sucks as we all know, sold 23,091 copies this weeking with a grand total of 76,279 copies! I think that is because of its price...

[duffe]

nobody has the total sales numbers?

[ColourandShape]

i believe the green day, since its the best cd of the past 5 years easily and quite obviously kills all of their previous works to date.

No. Its not even their best album, let alone the best of the past 5 years.

[karma2burn]

yeah new green day sucks too.
Good to see you have such a postive outlook on music .. why come here and comment about what you don't like? Say something postive.

its called having an opinion and being able to express it freely, why should everyone conform to your desires?

that truly is sad....it sucks that there on a label like fat which really doesn't push any of their bands....this is the ablum that could really break NUFAN into the mainstream, something they deserve, if they had just a bit of financial help/air play.

[themookillman]

anyone know where finch ended up?

[Scott Weber]

well, as i lay dying IS the pop punk of metalcore

i hope for the sake of 34,882 people that aild actually made a cohesive album, not just another version of frail words collapse's repetitious nightmare.


good live show though
the hell? AILD isn't "pop-punk" of metalcore...they're harder than a ton of other metalcore bands...I'd say the pop-punk of metal-core is Atreyu.

[xallstarchrisx]

shoot an apple off my head

[clevernapkins]

the pop-punk of metal-core is Atreyu.

a) i'll give you that. atreyu is so god-awful though.
b) but dude, as i lay dying is in the same catchy metalcore genre

other formulaic "pop-punk" metalcore bands:

it dies today
still remains
unearth

i'm not saying i don't like these bands. all i'm saying is that they produce extremely catchy music that doesn't always add up to a great album as a whole. can you honestly take unearth seriously when the dude yells BREAKDOWN right before a (take a guess) breakdown? It's catchy shit, but if I want to listen to an album i'll listen to fordirelifesake, btbam or scarlet

postscript:

here's a fun little comparison. listen to the intros of still remains - the worst is yet to come and then listen to as i lay dying - undefined. hmmm sounds a little similar.

[TheComeBackKid]

Wow, MXPX is selling fuck all.

Why the shit haven't they released their video yet? I swear they never promote right.

[NoseOverTail]

FOB and Weezer have both stayed surprisingly consistent.

[LOVEISHELL]

Im surprised Weezer is still selling so many considering all the bad reviews. Also ho is green day still selling so many? i thought that everyone and their grandma had that album already. Finally the coldplay album is awesome.
