dark_master Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Linkin Park's fourth studio album A Thousand Suns is the second best selling rock/metal album of 2010, according to the Billboard year-end charts. It comes right after Nickelback's Dark Horse, released in November 2008. Thoughts? Source: Billboard.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're saying is, ATS lost best selling rock album of 2010 to an album released in 2008? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_master Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Exactly... Don't ask me how that happened, but that Nickelback's album is the best selling one of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Pretty good sales, even though its not even Gold in the US yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[High_Voltage] Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 A contributing factor to this is that Dark Horse had 8 singles..... and like 6 music videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narc85 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 A contributing factor to this is that Dark Horse had 8 singles..... and like 6 music videos. this is very true! kept saying to my mate 'dude, how many singles do these guys wanna release from one album... they may as well release all songs on it as singles at this rate!' plus have they toured america recently? im not sure, but i know they only toured australia a fair while after the release of dark horse.

HybridThe0ry97 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Topic is mis-leading. How many high selling rock albums have come out this year? EDIT: What I think is HILLARIOUS, is that an album from 2008 outsold this one. Edited December 13, 2010 by HybridThe0ry97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORTsunrise Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Wow, Nickelback hasn't been killed yet?As long as they remain consistent with album sales, hit singles, and sold out tours, they won't go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 LOL everyone that I know says that Dark Horse is the worst album by Nickelback by far... Anyways, pretty good! LP always does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraDoN Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 warner is probably pissed, looking at previous lp album sales they all went gold in a matter of days to weeks. Who cares about sales though. BUT that said, i don't like losing to nickelback. They have horrible music, just horrible. LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH LOOK AT IT!!@!@!

Lotsa_spaghetti Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Empty Spaces would make a great single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearOfTheDuck Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It's only like 13 seconds, it won't take up much airtime. Great melody too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftshoe18 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I don't think ATS is going to need 8 singles to go platinum. It's only been out a few months and is already half-way there. Given LP's habit of taking three or more years to release a new album, ATS has plenty of time to go platinum. And before everyone jumps on me, I know the 7-8 singles thing was a joke.
