Here Today... Gone To Hell!

How long was it on the charts (billboard) and how many has it sold?

Don't know but it was only released in Australia this year.

I believe it has sold about 4 million at this point..and has been on the charts since it came out in march of 2004....

3.5 million I believe was the number that was listed in a recent UK article and selling.

GUNS N' ROSES' "Greatest Hits" collection, which was originally issued in March of 2004, was certified triple-platinum on April 11, 2006 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of three million copies. The CD sold 7,000 copies in the United States last week alone (week ending May 27), bringing the total number of copies sold since its release to 3.59 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan

Blabbermouth ;D

i think its still on the charts noto sure though :-\.........
:peace:

i think it fell of the charts for like 2 weeks then got back on the top200 like 2 weeks later.. dunno if its up there still..


No. it was released there as anywhere else in 2004, if that's how u mean?

It was released here the same time it was released in the US and EUR. Give or take a few days. Where did u here it cam out this year?


 :peace:

I bought mine at the airport this year where it was under a sign saying New Releases!

Nah, sorry dude. Some goose must have put it in the wrong section. It came out 2 years ago, or whenever it was.


 :peace:

It was right next to the Duran Duran Greatest Hits CD - man I had a hard choice deciding which CD to buy.......

I woulda gone with Duran Duran. The GN'R GH is trash.


 :peace:

Nah man! How can you say that!!!!!! I like the order of songs on the CD - it's a good Greatest hits setlist.

It shouldn't have even been released. Axl, Slash and Duff all tried to stop it from coming out coz it was garbage. And they cut "Cunt" from Aint it fun.


 :peace:

If it wasn't Axl who put it out, then who did? I thought Axl would have a say in things like that. Slash doesn't have the rights to GnR songs anymore.

Him N' Duff still have some say with the old stuff I think. Geffen released it coz Guns were due for another album and still hadn't got Chinese Democracy.
Its all on this board somewhere. Have a geez. You'll find it  : ok:


 :peace:

Nah mate, you are wrong here, sorry! This time it might pay to listen to you elders....

Then what is the real story?


 :peace:

Something to do with Generation X........you had to be there........

Are u just being a goose?


 :peace:

I see, so you weren't there.......nevermind.

plus, the thing is, the cd did nothing for the real gnr fans....we already have had these tunes for years...purely a record company money grab for the non-gnr fan who like the hits, but wont buy the original cd's....

maybe just maybe.. it got more people in to GNR who knows.. maybe there were some guys and gals who have heard of a band called GNR and had heard that they kicked ass.. so they decided to buy a greatest hits and check them out and holy hot damn they even liked what they heard and became new fans..

I took my friend who wasn't a GNR-fan to a concert last year. He bought GH to learn their most famous songs. It's great to have them collected in one place.

Alice Cooper brought out several Greatest Hits compliations at various stages of his career. I've got every one of those along with every record that he made. A collector would have 'Greates Hits' as part of his/her collection......

My opinion is that anyone who bought GH is not a real fan.
