You ever look at these album sales chart and be like...

[jadillac]

You see an album that's been out for 8 months and still sold like 15,000 copies the previous week and be like, WHO is still buying that many copies of an album that old? I know some ppl find albums late, but that MANY ppl waited that long to buy an album? And the next week it'll be like 13,500.

Breh, Luke Bryan has the #1 album out in the country right now....his newest release. It's his SECOND album to drop this year in 2013.....but his 2011 album "Tailgates and Tanlines" is STILL on charts selling like 9-10,000 copies a week. WHO in the hell is still buying that many copies of that one when he's had 2 news ones since then?



It's GOTTA be fishy.

between stores, tours, and your label...who knows?

I don't see anything fishy about that.

USA's population is 300+ million.

15k a week is nothing


I mean, TDSOTM has been on the charts for far so long and the album released in 1973.

The magazine also points out that ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ has sold around 40 million copies worldwide and still sells approximately 8,500 copies on a slow week

Artists get new fans all the time, nothing sus about it really.

 

[Mr. Negative]

looking at it through the eyes of someone who's used to things being classic the second it drops and is forgotten the next week when new shyt drops.

2Pacs greatest hits probably moves 2k a week

remember seeing chronic 2001 pop up on the charts at 2k just a month ago or so (total 7,664,00), absolutely crazy seeing compared to the weak sales nowadays
