FaiNt Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Trey Songz is a singer not a rapper Just because they don't make HT4 doesn't mean they don't care about sales. They are a mainstream band after all.. they are MTV's band pretty much. A successful band like that has pride. And if it does wrong, it would hit Mike harder than anyone since he took the lead big time.

Sucre06 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 It debuted on #1 in Germany. + who cares about sales, I believe the guys aspected that this record wont even sell more than 100k in its first week. There is a reliable source of this information ? I want to make sure Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/5650-weak-debut-of-ats/page/2/#findComment-102932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
praya Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 LP has two songs charted in the top 50 rock right now. Waiting for the End and Catalyst. WFTE is 40, catalyst is 2. WFTE is brand new and has had almost no promotion. LP has had almost no promotion either. Small plugs from MTV, with an offstage concert at the VMAS. a medal of honor trailer(clearly not a big demographic) Really anything that was promotion was delivered to the fans of LP directly, via myspace. sounds pretty weak to me. M2M has transformers, commercials, twilight. All things considered they crushed weezer and maroon 5. both who have a pretty standard radio friendly sound. Albums sales are a thing of a past. They are a good indicator for certain things but what really matters is concert turn outs and single sales.

minusxero Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 And then of course there's the fact that this isn't official as Billboard hasn't released their charts yet.

LPcatito Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Actually they are at #1, they keep updating the page http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgi Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/5650-weak-debut-of-ats/page/2/#findComment-102957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_master Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Now it says "FINAL". Congratulations, #1 in the world! 250 000 sales is more than great nowadays.

andydlp Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) I think once WFTE hits and gets some decent airplay/video plays, ATS will shift yet more copies. I think WFTE is that sort of song that has been going around the last while that people seem to like i.e. Rap/singing but catchy. I know people say Mike isn't rapping on WFTE but you get my point! EDIT: Also, when Iridescent is released the album will sell more copies IMO Edited September 21, 2010 by andydlp Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/5650-weak-debut-of-ats/page/2/#findComment-102967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I don't really care if an album sells or not. If I like it, that means its good. Besides LP gets the majority of their money from playing shows, not album sales...I think...

holdlife Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Somebody should just make fake numbers for Chester to keep him happy. lol I lol'd. I was surprised to hear him say "go find something you like" about ATS considering how bummed he was about DBS sales.

RiderSSPU Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'd love to have an album of mine do "weakly" enough to sell 6 figures and debut at #2 someday...so true Hybrid Theory's peak position was #2. Just sayin. i aactually didn't know that. but HT sold a lot more the first week Trey Songz is a singer not a rapper Just because they don't make HT4 doesn't mean they don't care about sales. They are a mainstream band after all.. they are MTV's band pretty much. A successful band like that has pride.
