HOLY SHIT! SOME ROCK RECORDS ACTUALLY SOLD THIS WEEK!
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 at 7:56pm by Vince NeilsteinMaybe the CD isn’t a dying format after all. Actually, fuck that, the CD is definitely in its death throes. But at least for one week the inevitable has been delayed, and some rock records actually moved serious tonnage. Motley Crue and Shinedown both debuted in the Top 10, Disturbed continued their inevitable march towards gold (and then platinum) at #9, and Kid Rock continued his rampage back up the charts to reach #12. Some abbreviated Soundscan numbers and positions after the jump:
#4 MOTLEY CRUE – SAINTS OF LOS ANGELES
This week: 98,816 (debut)
#8 SHINEDOWN – SOUND OF MADNESS
This week: 50,349 (debut)
#9 DISTURBED – INDESTRUCTIBLE
This Week: 49,615
Cume: 464,314
#12 KID ROCK – ROCK N ROLL JESUS
This Week: 35,815
Cume: 1,057,426
#40 JUDAS PRIEST – NOSTRADAMUS
This Week: 12,973
Cume: 55,201
SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNDAAAAAAAAAAAOOOWWWNNN
That cd rocks
I work two Top 10 albums (Disturbed and Shinedown)…I need a raise!!!
We should all just kill ourselves. Disgusting.
I bought the new Aborted…does that count?
I can’t say it any better than banter.
[...] HOLY SHIT! SOME ROCK RECORDS ACTUALLY SOLD THIS WEEK! Worst Week [...]
The new Shinedown is bad ass!
So…. all mainstream crap save for the Priest record, which isn’t even that good.
Glad to see the Crue back near the top.
Not surprised to see Disturbed hanging in there. The new CD is their best one to date, IMO.
Didn’t realize that Shinedown had this big of a following. Good for them.
May be “mainstream crap” but at least there are a few rock records in there. Beats yet another pop princess or former Disney TV star.
Too bad they’re all unlistenable garbage.
shinedown sucks, disturbed is worse…mainstram is garbage
the crue is badass, and priest is even better
