Yeah, I bet everytime he puts out something new, sales from his old albums go up also. Don't they usually sign some kind of upfront bonus as well. I think SP did this before SD.

Oh, I understand dog fighter. I am sure he banked quite a bit of it. I recall the interview where he said he was still sleeping in the parking garage even after SD made it big...
I guess where my thinking is leading me to is this: by the time a band records an album, pays producers (I am sure terry date, RTB, Flood, Butch do not produce an album for free), records it, promotes it, ...etc...a band must make very little profit it at all. So why even record new music? Why not go the Dave Matthews/Bon Jovi route which is make a new album every five years, and just tour and play the same meaningless songs all the time. |

I'm guessing Top Five or Top Ten next week for the US... and it'll probably hold most of the same positions in the international charts.
Are iTunes sales counted in the US charts? It's been falling slowly thanks to the MySpace whores taking up the Top Ten spots. |

It looks like Zeitgeist will not make a drastic fall down the charts afterall:
From Hits Daily Double: "Disney’s Hannah Montana 2 remains strong at #2, with between 120-125k, leapfrogging repeat winner T.I.’s Grand Hustle/Atlantic album, which drops to #3, followed by last week’s runner-up, Reprise’s Smashing Pumpkins, at #4." |

I recall reading in the late '90s about Paul McCartney earning around £4 per album sold from his new releases (which were hardly chart smashes at the time) in the UK. Now due to something or other he did in the 60s Paul McCartney can probably name his deal despite not being a multi-platinum artist in this era, but still, if faded superstars like the Pumpkins are on contracts even half as lucrative, they're sitting very pretty indeed. |

I was reading the SP news on their site and they list the album debuting at #8 in Australia. Warner don't know where those figures came from because they usually get those before the band...
Official figures are released on Monday 23rd July... I guess it will definitely be a top 10. |

Top 10 Albums The Smashing Pumpkins may have been gone, but they weren't forgotten, as their comeback album Zeitgeist went straight to the top of the Canadian charts, displacing Bon Jovi who had sat in the No. 1 position for three weeks. The home-grown illScarlett's first full length effort came in at No. 8 while controversy over Avril Lavigne’s album has only helped push The Best Damn Thing up the charts |

Just went to the ARIA site and Zeitgeist has officially debuted at #7 in Australia. Looks like a lot of crap like Pink, Fergie and Michael Buble got boosts from ad campaigns that have been running while I didn't see one ad about Zeitgeist all week. Nice job Warner.

I think to debut at #7 in a chart where the places are predominantly filled by mass produced/mass marketed cookie cutter acts is still pretty impressive in 2007. This is the first week. Warner are happy with the exposure that the album is getting in Australia right now - it's been elevated to medium rotation on Triple J which is the target demographic, rage and JTV have been playing the Tarantula clip at least 5 times throughout the weekend, and even a few commercial stations have played Tarantula a few times over the weeks. |

If I am not mistaken didn't he and jimmy pay for the recording costs, they didn't have a label when they first went into the studio? Someone correct me if I am wrong on this. |
