[StrikeAnywhere9]

theres lots of examples about this but for some reason i especially want to throw up when i think that more people own MCR's record then they dont death cab for cutie's Plans

[smelltheglove]

[elemenohpe]

Between the Buried and Me - Alaska: 7,653 (7,794)

Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This: 3,644 (84,079)

Hopefully it will take a huge boost with the Nintendo Fusion Tour

Pennywise - Fuse: 2,218 (27,774)

This seems very low considering how long they've been around. How does this compare to Full Circle sales?

Academy Is - Almost Here: 1,595 (49,606)

Still trucking along, good sales for their first full release.

Fall Out Boy - Evening Out With: 1,337 (22,113)

D. they just launced a 3rd huge budget video
E. their album has been out over a year, plans has been out a week
F. death cab dont' appeal to highschool kids, they arent good looking, they aren't young, their music does not have appeal to the hot topic angstly young crowd who spend all their money on records...theyapeal to the broke college and grad students who steal shit off the internet

10,864 (

[preppyak]

Yeah, but give the OC some time to hype it and that could change, hopefully

[DroppedUrPocket]

thats gross that kanye sold more then the foo fighters

I've said it once and I've said it again, you're a fucking moron.

[Katie Schmitz]

My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers: 28,390 (992,849)

[SLADE775]

A. MCS will take off more...its really been picking up already now that 'everything is alright' is getitn some fuse play

B. pennywise's last album 'the fuse' sold 90,000 in 2 years...full circle def. sold over 200K, maybe even 500K, but that was the peak of their popularity

I bought the new Kanye, it's so good.

[Jason Tate]

not on the list.

[albatrossxivy]

not on the list.

aww that sucks
thanks anywaysss

[archamedes]

it still amazes me that last week 46,000 people got up and said "im going to go buy the fallout boy cd". I dont mean that in ANY way degrading to them, i really like them, its a good thing. its amazing to me that so many people are supporting our "genre" its refreshing and a great thing to see. 46,000 people is a rediculously huge number of people to all be thinking of going to buy a cd in one week.

congrats to all the bands and their very amazing cd sales.

[smelltheglove]

oh and for the record kanye west's new album is much better than the foo fighters. i was bored about 3 tracks into the 'rock' foo disc.

[forgetevth]

are you kidding? All the 12 year old girls loooooooove swing life away.
there gonna be really disapointed once they hear the whole cd

[duffe]

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois: 3,190 (52,555) Youhou !!! Everyone must have this album.

[LMB]

Just recently I discovered Sufjan Stevens. Man, was I ever missing out.

[Scott Weber]

looks like next week they'll be platinum
they already went platinum, remember it's albums shipped, not sold.

(that's what platinum records are determined by)

[marbury1414]

oh and for the record kanye west's new album is much better than the foo fighters. i was bored about 3 tracks into the 'rock' foo disc.

ditto about the new Foo CD, the rock side was a tad redundant but I still love the acoustic disc

[DroppedUrPocket]

I keep looking at your avatar and thinking "World of Warcraft".

[Never Last]

It's insane how TSL haven't been on these lists. I thought they were way more popular than some of these other bands.

[FrancesdaMute]

gooooo kanye, even though the album wasn't as good as his first.

[LostSymphonies]

theres lots of examples about this but for some reason i especially want to throw up when i think that more people own MCR's record then they dont death cab for cutie's Plans
cuz death cabs album has been out just as long as MCR right? o wait..no. Stop thinking you're so above everyone

[sinbad]

Vendetta Red - Sisters of the Red: 1,409 (4,725)

Wow, I've never really listened to this band at all, but I always thought they were fairly popular, they used to be all over the place. Is the new stuff just not good, or did their time simply pass?

[DroppedUrPocket]

They were never that popular, I don't think. Their new CD is good stuff, though. I haven't seen any type of promotion from their label, either.

[PopPunkKid]

..thats gross that kanye sells records

[aminorthreat55]

:shake:
Seriously. I mean Dane Cook is funny and all, but nowhere near a comedian like Eddie Izzard.

[blankster07]

woah... did jack's mannequin just completely fall off the list? omg wow... so sad, so sad... some people don't know how to fucking advertise and market bands... this is perhaps the most marketable cd to come out this summer...

[moore182]

They were never that popular, I don't think. Their new CD is good stuff, though. I haven't seen any type of promotion from their label, either.
"Happy Birthday!" :spiderman

[DroppedUrPocket]

"Happy Birthday!" :spiderman

Hahaha. Thanks dude.

[chowski]

It's a real shame that Days Away hasn't sold enough to make this list. I fucking love their record.

[bradyreier]

c'mon people, we have to support weezer more!!! this may very well be their last recorded album and his not even reached platinum sales left.. everyone go out, buy it, pop it in (headphones), and zone out into =w= land, lol.. buy it so we know that its not just the lemmings who "love" beverly hills get it.. SUPPORT!!

[xdrummerxdudex]

hahaha i like how you add FOB "evening out..." i remember i bought that last year.


also i'm shocked at june and bno's sales.

[growingfungus]

ive heard all about relient k's mmhmm going gold (500,000)...then here it says theyve only sold 350,000...where did this number come from?

[anishkabob]

ive heard all about relient k's mmhmm going gold (500,000)...then here it says theyve only sold 350,000...where did this number come from?
its albums shipped, not sold.


against me! should have more records sold.

[salem1oliver]

Vendetta Red - Sisters of the Red: 1,409 (4,725)

Wow, I've never really listened to this band at all, but I always thought they were fairly popular, they used to be all over the place. Is the new stuff just not good, or did their time simply pass?
Their last album was fairly well promoted, the thing was that the album sucked!!! It had maybe one or two good songs. That being said, the new album is really good. I would advise just about everyone to pick it up. It is sure to be a sleeper pick for one of the top ten albums of the year.

its albums shipped, not sold.


against me! should have more records sold.
I could not agree more. I had never really gotten into Against Me! after hearing a few things from their earlier albums, but I picked up the new one and now I am hooked. I can't believe I was missing out for all these years.

[loveisaweapon]

i thought relient k's album went Gold (500,000), but here it hasn't reached that.



am i missing something?

[xbrokendownx]

i thought relient k's album went Gold (500,000), but here it hasn't reached that.



am i missing something?



read the rest of the post. its albumsSHIPPED, not SOLD. theyve only sold that many, but more than 500k have shipped.



also, any word on the sales for the stutterfly album?

[Dashy]

Numbers I'd like to see....

Copeland- In Motion
Mae- The Everglow
The Starting Line- BOATS

I've always wondered how those albums did.

[last light]

ya id like to know on all those also

[littlejohn]

what about emery?

[pinkerton]

predictions for coheed?

i say they sell 40,000

[HungJury]

Vendetta Red's new album is definitely album of the year material. Its unbelievable how well this album was done. It's one of the most melodic albums I've ever heard. I can't say enough amazing things about the album and the band. We (Greeley Estates) played with them in Montreal a few weeks ago and they can pull off all the high notes and the new members are amazing musicians. I sound like an advertisement for them! It's good stuff!

The one thing that is probably hurting album sales is the fact that it has about 3 or 4 "Parental Advisories" on it for language, violence and sexual content, which means it won't be carried in the Wal-Marts and, probably, Target. Thats a huge chunk of all bands albums sales. Anyway, Good luck to these guys and go get the album!

[last light]

predictions for coheed?

i say they sell 40,000
thats probably what id guess...i think a top 10 debut...if not top 10 top 15

[HungJury]

I think Coheed can sell at least 50,000 its first week. Definite top ten material!

[skaught]

i'm suprised at the new against me! cd sales.

[Gleebo]

Vendetta Red - Sisters of the Red: 1,409 (4,725)

Wow, I've never really listened to this band at all, but I always thought they were fairly popular, they used to be all over the place. Is the new stuff just not good, or did their time simply pass?
This is easily the most shocking set of numbers to me this week. I can't believe the sales are that weak. Id like to see what they did with the last album...I would have to think that it even debuted stronger than this with "Shatterday" getting a shit ton of airplay on FUSE before it came out. They played it alot on the radio station here, but not sure how much it got elsewhere besides Seattle and here in Nebraska, where they got big support.

Perhaps the subject matter of the disc is off putting to some people if they read interviews about it before hand. I was very skeptical but its far better than their last disc was. If I remember right Alternative Press gave it a 5 of 5 which reaches quite a few peoples eyes. Very surprised at the numbers this is putting up. Oh well as long as they keep food on their table and making music im fine with that.


Also I dont remember who said it I had to laugh my ass off when someone said that "the 12 year old girls were gonna be pretty disappointed with Rise Against's new album"....I would pay money to see the reaction of a couple of them when they pop it in for the first time in their mom's Windstar on a trip back from the mall.

WORD.... I dont know if Target carries it but I know they were huge supporters of their last album and had it on their up and coming artist rack and played the video on the televisions in their music section all the time.

[talaird]

WHAT ABOUT ALKALINE TRIO? DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MANY ALBUMS OF CRIMSON THEY'VE SOLD?

[thomasjohn]

8.

[OveriseFan]

How much did Socratic sell?

[Kif]

I'm surprised to see Weezer still trucking along with that album, I thought it would've worn off by now.

Haha, FOB are 1337 (Sorry, had to be done)

[Jason Tate]

If an album isn't here, it's because it doesn't appear on the list I got. When I'm lucky, I get the top 200 indie and top 200 regular charts, figure if it's not on the list, it sold less than the lowest number you see. That's a good rule of thumb unless I was just stupid and missed seeing it.

[startrans]

You think Vendetta red will get dropped b/c EPIC has done nothing for them?

[piaffeprncess98]

Did I miss Acceptance on there?

[Spooky]

i thought starting line would be doing better.... their new cd is pretty good.

[Adeniz19]

damn the bled's album hasnt sold well at all :-\

[Scenestorm]

Yay for Spoken!

[moonlights]

would anyone happen to know how socratic did?

[edit]

okay, i need to learn to read the entire thread before i post, sorry

any ideas who else might be posting numbers for albums you don't have numbers for?


Fall Out Boy - Evening Out With: 1,337 (22,113)
hahaha awesome.

[HoboAdam]

rise against numbers surpise me alot

[LMB]

Did I miss Acceptance on there?

It honestly pisses me off that these guys aren't pasted all over MTV. They deserve success of My Chemical Romance magnitude, if not more.

[thejukeboxhero]

where exactly do you get these numbers from? just curious.

[I.O]

Vendetta Red - Sisters of the Red: 1,409 (4,725)

god...

[AnonomusVsCA]

wait so btbam only sold like 150 records their first week?

[Scott Weber]

wait so btbam only sold like 150 records their first week?
This was their first week....those other numbers are for like preorders or somehthing. come on, think.

[yanks2np]

Its only going to get bigger in sales as time goes on :)

[permanent]

Geffen really hit the cash flow by setting the Rise Against single to Swing Life Away. I am curous to see how the new HIM album does as well as Panic at the Disco.

[jpgretzky15]

250,000 people are stuck with a HIM album? Dear God.

[JezisHChrist]

I'm shocked Coldplay's not up there.

[Killforgrace]

minus the bear deserves so much more then they are getting and yes i'd love to see days away's #s that ranks as one of the top 5 of this year along with circa and sigur ros.... all 4 amazing albums

[hangten]

holy shit!

so i definitely read "my chemical romance" and "The all american rejects" at the same time, and maybe im dislexic. but i saw "my american heart" and then 24,000 after their name and almost shit my pants!

haha

[The Revisionist]

God, I don't know which was more disappointing... the new Foo Fighters or the new Kanye, and I was incredibly looking forward to both, and both failed to deliver. :(

[radxbandit]

I'm shocked Coldplay's not up there.

Coldplay is ranked at 15 with 37,000 sold. There ya go.

[monkeyboy14]

B. pennywise's last album 'the fuse' sold 90,000 in 2 years...full circle def. sold over 200K, maybe even 500K, but that was the peak of their popularity
That and Full Circle is their best album. I am a PW fan but The Fuse just doesn't appeal to me. From The Ashes was the album before The Fuse

[Scott Weber]

That and Full Circle is their best album. I am a PW fan but The Fuse just doesn't appeal to me. From The Ashes was the album before The Fuse
my favorite is straight ahead.

[HungJury]

You think Vendetta red will get dropped b/c EPIC has done nothing for them?It's hard to say. Apparently, they got one of the biggest record deals for a first time artist. They might try to recoup in another album. But I definitely think their new album will slowly start posting bigger numbers as the word gets out about how epic (no pun intended) this album really is. I hope this band doesn't turn into a thing where they start to get noticed years later. I think this band might fall into this category like Sunny Day Real Estate. SDRE was a band way before its time. Vendetta Red might be, as well.

I also think Epic is marketing them wrong. They aren't punk or emo or post-hardcore. Their label and/or management really need to get them an opening spot on a theater or arena tour. That's the forum for this band. Their music is anthemic (is that a word? haha) and the live show is grand. Opening for Finch and going on tour with Bayside isn't hitting the right crowd. Taste Of Chaos is a perfect upcoming tour for them.

Man, I seemed to have analyzed this way too much....haha.

[Kif]

my favorite is straight ahead.
That album is only really good for the first half, and then "Alien"

"Full Circle" is their best. "Bro Hymn" is a sacred anthem in the punk world.

[CalamityRecords]

wonder how chiodos and my american heart did.

I'm not a fan of FFTL at all but can't believe they have only sold 70k and hawthorne heights have sold like 500k.

[NameTaken69]

where is jacks mannequin?

They may be ahead of their time. But lets just hope that they are still making music that they want to and not music that a record company wants them to make when people start to "get" them. They should be huge already....and the new album should only further that, but they are not. They may be one of those that you either love or hate...no in betweens. In my group of friends myself and one or two other guys love them and the majority of the rest of my friends cannot stand them for whatever reason.

I think people may be reading into the subject matter of the album to much and it could be scaring them away. The lyrics are no more disturbing than something you could find on the last Senses Fail album, except the songs with that kind of content on the Vendetta Red album don't have gigantic plot holes that make you think they are doing it just for shock value like SF.

[AnonomusVsCA]

This was their first week....those other numbers are for like preorders or somehthing. come on, think.
come on, cry

[Scott Weber]

come on, cry
eh, what.

[avitabully]

Mae = 12,468- all but slade regret it

[ArTkY_]

thats gross that kanye sold more then the foo fighters
Not really, Kanye is the shit, maybe not as good as Foo but he still kicks ass.

[NJ101]

How much did Socratic sell?
I'm wondering the same thing...? I know they said they had distribution problems, but I dont believe they didnt make it on this chart.

[moonlights]

I'm wondering the same thing...? I know they said they had distribution problems, but I dont believe they didnt make it on this chart.
yeah, same here. i really don't think they sold less than 1100.

[preppyak]

Mae = 12,468- all but slade regret it

nah, I loved the Everglow, you just have to listen to it the whole way through to get the whole feel. Plus, they fucking rock live.

[Gleebo]

Mae = 12,468- all but slade regret it
I don't, excellent album.
