Chinese Democracy will beat them all :beer: It would take a miracle for CD to outsell AFD, in an age where cd sales are dropping I'd be surprised if any music album released now outsells AFD.

Some incorrect info here then - read the last line of the AFD section. The Alanis Morisette article contradicts it. Title: Re: How many album does GNR sell a week?

Post by: gnrkid03 on May 18, 2006, 09:49:33 PM In that Wikipedia article... the 20 million records sold.... thats in the US only, not including worldwide. I'd bet its close to 30 million worldwide.
Title: Re: How many album does GNR sell a week? Post by: nateinthehon on May 18, 2006, 10:07:12 PM I read that AFD is a top selling back catalog record, and that it does 5,000 copies a week, which is like 250k a year, not to bad, so theoretically they have sold nearly 1 million copies between The Garden and Hammerstein shows
Title: Re: How many album does GNR sell a week? Post by: daubs on May 18, 2006, 10:40:47 PM i read that it sells 9,000 a week. then i heard a number lower, but it was higher than 5,000. Either way its alot of albums. with downloading these days, expecting chinese democracy to exceed it is unrealistic. although, i think there are people who will buy it just for the hell of it, just because its CD...my roomate is a gnr fan, but not diehard. he said he will buy the cd, but just because of the stuff around the record, if it was a regular record he would have just downloaded it.
