All bands don't suffer equally.

You're shocked that the band that has the top selling album of all time sold a lot of records?

Corganist, go fuck yourself.

If I had to take a guess maybe around 8-10k. Total around 325,000 maybe.

Agreed, but they all suffer and who's to say Zeitgeist suffered any more than other albums that have been released this year. Eventhough we can all agree that the album likely did suffer due to illegal downloading, it's not likely that it sufferend anymore than other alternative acts like Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails.

MCIS and Dookie are on that list. Makes me feel like a nobody.

Foo Fighters are suffering right now? as far as I know their new record is selling like all their other ones did

That's right, this band has a core fanbase that will reliably buy multiple copies of the same album

I'm sure they have suffered just as much as any other alternative rock band. I'm certain this new album didn't sell as many copies in it's first week as there last album did.

I think the point I was trying to get across is that all bands suffer to a degree from illegal downloading. Not saying that one band suffers more than any other, but you'd think Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails have a similar fan base, so you'd think they'd suffer just as much as the other bands with a similar fan base.

Year Zero didn't even go Gold, yet it was considered a success

Go figure.

Where have people been getting their album chart stats? Billboard makes you pay to see them. Any other sites? I know I'm a dork for asking this.

gwt · 12-21-2007, 12:00 PM

it's a secret.

I'm on the Nielsen mailing list

They haven not made the charts since early Novembers reissue

Let this thread die already. Its a failure in Bills eyes, and you know it.

Also, it will climb back into the top 200 when bill releases the dvd edition. Enough of you retards are going to go out and buy it.

I would love to meet you in real life and take a shit on you.

where does the 64000 unit discrepancy between total sales of zeitgeist and sales for the same album in 07 come from?

eyeboogers · 12-26-2007, 08:11 PM

all along i've had a hunch that the special booklet edition wasn't being factored in to the billboard numbers.(since Beck and other artist have had simular problems when they did something out of the ordinary format wise.)
