Wow, that's weird...

But so fucking cool rock3

ChiDem #55

Now, Hannah Montana at #5... that makes me sad. The world is doomed.

Yeah, but if little girls start liking GnR we're in big trouble!

Why? I was a little girl when I started to like 'em.

Chinese probably moved around 425-450,000 copies by January 1st, 2009. In 2009, it probably moved an additional 250,000 copies. Record sales are now so low the going platinum is now considered a major hit, going gold for most rock bands is now the standard for a success. Remember, it's 2009, not not 1991.

It'd be interesting if there was a way to track how many albums were pirated from the internet, then combine that with the sales. Perhaps it would have done better? Its hard to tell, are there any projections of how many people actually steal music?

But that's cool, great news for the band

Metallica's Death Magnetic at #61? how is it possible that Chinese Democracy sold more than them this year, does anyone have any figure numbers?

Because its albums SHIPPED not sold.

The best buy total counts as a part of gnr sales even though they are all sitting on a shelf.

CD sold 500k in the US but get credit for 1.5m since that is about how many best buy bought.

Every copy was shipped in 2008 so, no, you are wrong

No I am not wrong because if that were true guns n roses would have gotten 1.5m sales for the month of sales which they did not.

They debuted at #3 on billboard.

Cd was not cerfified plantium until Feb of 2009

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/Blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=114073

"GUNS N' ROSES' new album, "Chinese Democracy", was officially certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 3, 2009 for shipments in the United States in excess of one million copies. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the CD has shifted 537,000 units since it was released on November 23, 2008 as a Best Buy exclusive after a wait of more than 15 years."

Please get your facts straight.

Before Feb they shipped just over half a million.

Then in Feb of 2009 they got up to one million shipped.

That means the rest were shipped during the rest of 2009

dude get ur facts straight these billboard are real sales, back on its debut week it sold 260k or so thats because those were the real soundscan reported sales. So its first week sales would not be reported as 1.5 mil because they are only reported when some one buys it actaully buys a copy same here. And if you knew anything youl would know that the RIAA reports are very very late that February figure is wrong in actuallity. Do u remember early last year when they certified AFD as 18 mil in the USA ? why did they certify it 3 million later after the last 15 mil certify which was YEARS AGO? RIAA stuff is late and wrong

DM came out much earlier in 2008 than CD did, and sold a good majority of its albums then.

CD had only 5 weeks worth of album sales in 2008, so it was essentially an 09 album.

"Much" earlier? What? Death Magnetic came out on September 12th. Chinese Democracy came out on November 23rd. Roughly two months difference. It's not like comparing March and November releases.

Ali

dude regardless the big difference with CD and DM sales in the USA are more than the dates released there are much bigger factors that i wont repeat cuz im sure your more than aware of or at least id hope. Most important thought is that CD has and will always sell more worldwide than DM where people actually like good music so it doesnt matter what the crazy USAers do

I love how MUSE, the supposedly BIGGEST BAND EVERER, sold less from september to today than Chinese did from november 2008 to january 2009 and is quietly sitting at 124 for 2009 and 70 for January and how a certain someone fails to mention it... :rofl-lol:

Well, there's two obvious reasons for that: For one, the US never liked non-US artists much, and the other thing is that Muse's latest album kinda sucked.

*off checking out some of those great Hysteria live performances on youtube*

I didn't this is simply a guesstimate

all you have to do is look for albums close to Chinese Democracy on that list that have been released in 2009, in this case Defying Gravity by Keith Urban, which sold 792000 copies and is in 47th place whilst Chinese is 55th so it will be a bit less than that, so one would've thought anything above 500000

That's a logical guesstimate.

At the very least, I think, the album sold 300-350K during 2009, so all told it has moved 750-800K overall. That's not superstar level by any means, but in the age of piracy, it's not nearly as horrendous as many people, some on this board, have made it out to be.
