I have a feeling there will be a big drop off in the second week.
I can see by the Amazon sales alone its already dying down considerably.

Ah, T.I... I could have seen him for free, and I'm glad I didn't:
The funny thing about this concert is that the reaction of most Cornell students was "wtf? texas instruments?" |

wow.. record sales in general for everyone are doing terrible. I remember when selling 50,000 copies landed an artist at #20.. now it's a top ten number? holy shit.

I was merely pointing out that the album sales numbers can be a bit misleading as a statistic indicating popularity. Obviously you couldn't adjust the numbers even if you wanted to. |

This is probably a question, I am not sure anyone knows. What is the profit financially from record sales these days? I mean, almost 150,000 records has got to net you something, but if this album goes Gold, I would say that is a sucess. From a musicians standpoint, where is the money made? Touring?

the industry standard: Artists make $.84 cents per record sold.

$.84 x 145,000 = $121,800
Someone should've pointed these numbers out to the ass clowns who keep insisting that Billy Corgan is trying to make loads of money off of us multiple releases. If, in your best selling week, you make $121,800 total dollars, then you aren't making all that much. I mean, if you made that every week, you'd be a fucking bazillionaire, but still. |

Also, I don't know why you'd want this. Record companies are dying to make things so that there can be no piracy. They'd be so locked down, they probably wouldn't even play in every "new cd" player that you own. |

Those are pretty bad numbers considering the 4 version ploy and the fact that it only doubled TFE's sales...

You make your money now by touring and merchandise.
145k is a good number for this day and age. Those that thought this album was going to sell a million or more we're just kidding themselves. |

If Tool can sell 500k+ I would assume SP could sell at least 250k in the first week, but I'm sure the shittiness of the album coupled with horrid reviews had something to do with that

so of that 121,000 the record made, how much goes into Billy/Jimmy's pockets assuming the rest of the band doesn't get record sales?
I guess my point it is kind of a question. How much money do bands make for doing tours? 121,000 is not much more than my household income, but yet you get the perception that bands make tons of money. Are even name brand musicians not able to make money in today's industry? |
