I wanna know who the 45k people are that waited until NOW to by the Green Day album.
haha, I was wondering the same thing or the thousands of people who about a year and a half later after the release of three cheers for sweet revenge and theyre only chasing safety are just now buying the record.

Allister - Before the Blackout: 2,045 (2,068) That's terrible, I figured more people would buy it than that..I did. And i don't understand how the total's different..23 people bought it before?

punkster-182

10/20/05, 03:14 PM

allister only sold 2k? fuckYeah, somehow I thought that would do slightly better.

10/20/05, 03:32 PM

It really sucks to see Allisters numbers so low...They really deserve better then they get. As for PANIC! they are going to continue to sell more each week. Cartel will gain some steam once they get on a big tour, the starting line should help them. That really sucks about allister tho, they sold less then the amount of kids in my school

duffe

10/20/05, 03:33 PM

I'm glad for AFS.

Scott Weber

10/20/05, 03:39 PM

I'm stunned at those Allister numbers, I thought they had a bigger fan base than that.

That's terrible, I figured more people would buy it than that..I did. And i don't understand how the total's different..23 people bought it before?
We go over this every week, it's like pre-orders, or something.

yea for real. allister's numbers surprise me. im sad for them. i really like the new album. and their live show is really fun.

people suck

buy ALLISTER!

Umm... I only bought it a couple months ago. Now I know what I was missing. It's good stuff.

I'm stunned at those Allister numbers, I thought they had a bigger fan base than that.

We go over this every week, it's like pre-orders, or something.

Also is likely to include places that sell it early.

clintdaddy

10/20/05, 03:48 PM

you can tell who gets radio/mtv love on that list

Jason Tate

10/20/05, 03:48 PM

Also is likely to include places that sell it early.
Correct. From what I know, it's smaller stores that put it on the shelves before they're supposed to .. and people buy it.

van_morrison

10/20/05, 04:01 PM

garbage? hahah, wow...

yeah man, i picked up that record last summer and it did nothing for me. i found it so bland and boring. i guess i just don't see the appeal in that band.

Correct. From what I know, it's smaller stores that put it on the shelves before they're supposed to .. and people buy it.

yeah i've picked up some albums over a week before they've been released at stores. it all depends on when they're shipped from the distributor. for instance, vagrant used to ship their new releases ridiculously early.

SLADE775

10/20/05, 04:34 PM

Less than 1k I believe.

are you kidding?

thats crazy if not.

Yeah, somehow I thought that would do slightly better.

I think it's a very poor album. I'm not suprised at all.

CalamityRecords

10/20/05, 04:35 PM

so cartel must've sold about 5-6k now. this number will shoot up with tv/radio play, as well as magazine features and of course, good tours. they deserve it.

that's weird about allister, thinking that they are one of DTR oldest bands with a big fan base and they sold so little. I think it's because there have been so many good albums out lately that they've got lost in the pack and fallen behind. I haven't seen much promo from DTR for it mind.

I don't know if this has been posted seeing as i have no read everyones post but fall out boys album abbreviated spells FUCT.. hahahaLOLOMGZ1!11!!11ROTFLROFLRFOLH AHAHALOLO!!!1111!!!!1OMGZZZZZ111111 1!!

whoaaa coheed sold a fucking lot.

I think it's a very poor album. I'm not suprised at all.
I'd say that about Cartel, I really disliked Chroma..I don't like Allister at all for the record either..but Chroma was way over hyped in my opinion.

rockon

10/20/05, 05:04 PM

I can't believe Allister didn't sell waaaaay more than this! Before the Blackout is one of the best pop-punk albums I have heard in a long time.

etwiels

10/20/05, 05:09 PM

I second that The Killers' record is garbage. They've been garbage since conception.

haha i know!

this statistic amazes me man!!! i just don't get it!?

green day is still p'wning everyone.

10/20/05, 05:21 PM

theres 45 k of people that are just seing whatever video they have on MTV or Much music at the moment.

abandnamedjon

10/20/05, 05:28 PM

Cartel will do a hell of a lot better once the get some more publicity. The only reason I can say Panic! At the Disco is doing so well is because they're backed by Fall Out Boy and have connections with a little more notoriety than The Militia Group. So I suspect with a video perhaps and some T.V. coverage Cartel will be selling well.

CorporateFish

10/20/05, 05:28 PM

Hmm..that makes sense..I couldn't think of a logical explanation so I figured I'd ask.

beenbrokenx

10/20/05, 05:29 PM

i thought someone posted on here a week or two ago saying that fall out boy had gone platinum....but according to that number up there, they are about 150,000 units short of it.

Midnight Aria

10/20/05, 05:30 PM

Less than 1k I believe.
Thanks, if/when you do another one of these, throw them in if you think about it!

CorporateFish

10/20/05, 05:30 PM

Also is likely to include places that sell it early. Yeah, good call. I remember war on errorism being out early at a local store.

The RIAA doesn't certify platinum/gold based on these numbers .. it's a completely different system. It has to do with shipped, projections, and audits. Basically, the RIAA sucks balls :P

Thats really weird that they would certify something gold of platinum before it has actually sold that number? Is there anywhere you can read more into their system or anything like that?

ahhh alright. i though it was based on how many sold that are reported to soundscan. nevermind then.

fgevilmonkey

10/20/05, 06:00 PM

I'm guessing the answer is 'not much at all', but how much is the Nightmare of You album selling?

It'll be a real shame if this shit doesn't sell, but the word about the band hasn't really spread as much as I hoped it might.

walshknilb281

10/20/05, 06:40 PM

any idea on how many total albums TREOS has sold

kleswing

10/20/05, 06:42 PM

whoaaa coheed sold a fucking lot.

I'd say that about Cartel, I really disliked Chroma..I don't like Allister at all for the record either..but Chroma was way over hyped in my opinion.

Chroma was fun if a bit guilty the first listen
then kinda boring the second listen
then i really wanted to stop listening the third... it's just standard pop-punk with average lyrics. Two songs of note on that album: Minstrel's Prayer and Burn This City (which is most of of A)

Panic! is selling well because a lot of kids including me, who's pretty jaded pop-punk wise, found it a poppy if weird listen the first time, familiar and fun the second time, and finally saw the depth in the music the third time: it has all sorts of tones, from condescending to ironic to playful to jaded.

When a band comes out with an album as strong as Panic!'s, word of mouth spreads. I've personally promoted them a lot. When they go major label, they're going HUGE.

I profoundly disagree. I find Panic! at the Disco to be unenergetic, by the numbers, kid friendly pap.

I don't find them deep at all. Lyrically, they're bad, and that's putting it nicely.

LPMagic

10/20/05, 07:02 PM

I'm with everyone else... no matter what the Allister album sounds like, I figured it would do better than 2,000 just off of a fanbase alone. It's good to see the Death Cab album is already at 250,000 though.

10/20/05, 10:49 PM

i want paramore & jack's mannequin numbers.

i am sick of seing people whine about cartel's & panic's lyrics not being deep enough or whatever. it is pop punk!! it's supposed to be fun, not songs to drastically change your life or something. panic's lyrics tell good stories, espeically towards the end of the cd. i love it. i don't know. i think both cd's are really good & they are both going to be huge.

i completely agree.
and killers=boring music. i really cant stand all those bands that came out at that time. yknow, all the "The _______s" bands. absolutely no dynamics on that record.

Panic! is doing amazing though! that is some killer word of mouth i guess.

who the fuck is he, and whats on the album. I know he does comedy, but thats all I realy know. During cmj week at penn station he walked out, and people went nuts. All these dudes asking him to sign there chests and shit...it was weird.

go to his website, danecook.com i think, and just listen. then you'll see. :bigsmile:
