Chin for a Day Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 18 minutes ago, MysticManiac said: Well it says "74-79,000 pure US copies", by pure copies, does it mean excluding digital copies? Also, if it's on track to be a #1 album, that must mean it's doing better than Sum 41's new album which was released on the same day I don't know for sure, but the way the article reads, it sounds like it is physical copies. I guess we will knwo more when we see the actual numbers because the Billboard 200 includes physical copes, digital downloads and streams. If itunes is any indication of total sales (and I dont' know if it is or is not) then Sum 41 is not doing well. Revolution Radio has been #1 since right after the release. Sum 41 got as high as 10, but is now at 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause if around 50% of album sales are physical, that means that RR would probably get around 150-160k total album sales, if they account for less, than we can expect even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grinch Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 ALSO: This is on the front page of iTunes. Looks like Still Breathing is becoming the most popular song on the album: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A band like Green Day will sell a much higher physical copy percentage than like a younger pop star because most people in the younger demographic don't care for a physical copy. Lazaretto by Jack White was the best selling vinyl album since the early 90s, selling 60,000 records on release weekend for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since blink hit 180,000 copies in first week. I thought the singles for this album were doing better than blinks so I'm shocked it's expected to sell so low.

stories and songs Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 @James11693 We think that's just physical copies, though, so it should sell much more than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I went to my local janky ass Target (seriously, guys, it's so old, it still has neon and signs that make you feel like it's 1993) tonight, 30 minutes before the store closed so I could get the CD for the $9.99 sale price. They never even put out their stock of the CD; I thought they were sold out so when I went to ask for a rain check on the price (as I was too lazy to drive to the one on the other side of town open an hour later), and when he scanned the display barcode where the CDs should have been, and he's like, Oh, it says there's 14 on the floor and some in the back. So he went to the back ... yeah, there were all in the back. So, that's reassuring for sales, huh? I was either the first person to look for the CD, or at least the first person to ask if they had any/could get a rain check and didn't just assume they were sold out and walked away. Granted, my ZIP code isn't exactly one where Green Day is going to be popular, and I know how silly it is to look for a physical CD in a Target in 2016, but still.

1039Revolutions Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The album will debut at number 1, so it's obviously a success. If it sells 80,000 pure units, it'll likely do 160,000 total sales for the (1 sale/1500 stream) rule. After 12 albums, that's nothing to sneeze at.

SuperXCsabre495 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I've got 1 copy on CD and 3 copies on vinyl so that should help them get that number 1 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Ale. Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 how do they predict the week sales by one day? i mean, it's hard to get it right .May be a lot of record stores will have it by Monday. and it's number one in iTunes ,few people buy CDs nowadays. and about Blink debate, they are pop band and Green Day isn't. If anything ,Bang bang isn't pop . i expect this album to sell great and who cares if it doesn't? big albums catch attention at any time. and green day has more fans in England and europe anyway. Aren't those sells important? usa sells aren't everything. GD had their biggest shows in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDirntConfused Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Personally, I believe the critics like GD as well as their fans - but the general public has moved on. I mean nothing stays at the top forever, and GD had two peaks in their career - something unheard of. Blink 182 got hype from the reunion, but if they never broke up, then they'd be in a similar boat in terms of sales. I bought the album at Best Buy the evening of the day it came out, and the display was loaded with unsold copies. A lot of my friends, coworkers, and acquaintances had no idea an album was coming out. Most remember "Wake Me Up When September Ends", "Blvd of Broken Dreams", "American Idiot", and "Basket Case" only. A significant portion thought GD broke up, or they just lost interest.

DoodleBob Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I don't buy music that much anymore but I figured I'd go on the ole iTunes to buy RevRad and help their sales/chart placement. Turns out my account somehow got deactivated. I was on hold with Apple for 20 minutes before I hung up. Looks like I'll be making a trip to Target tomorrow.
