I suppose these increases are a result of FTP... let's hope the trend continues.

On The Move

Velvet Revolver's recent newsmaking escapades ? a rescheduled free show in Hollywood on Thursday that was supposed to take place last Tuesday (October 12), but city officials wouldn't allow them to play atop the Hustler Store ? helped their debut, Contraband, jump up eight spots to #31. Sales should continue to bode well for the rockers throughout their five-week fall tour, which kicked off Saturday.

I hope U2 doesn't have enough time to grab that "Best selling rock album of the year" title from the guys in Velvet Revolver.  Good to see that it's still selling strong, it's been a great year for them.

Lets hope REM doesn't become big again.. Just playing their albukm tanked..  I like U-2, but I can't deal with bono anymore, he's everywhere and his involvment in political affairs are annoying..

28 29 VELVET REVOLVER RCA/RMG 32,246 +1%

and they got a mention on the weekly sales article:

A pair of country albums also showed upward movement, with Warner Bros. Nashville?s Big & Rich (#33-21, +28%) and Epic/Sony Nashville?s Gretchen Wilson (#26-22) both showing double-digit gains.

Columbia/CRG?s Switchfoot (#39, +4%) and RCA/RMG?s Velvet Revolver (#29, +1%) also register upticks, with hit singles now crossing to Top 40.


I guess that means Velvet Revolver will be on the Billboard list next week.

Contraband dropped to #42 this week.... but there was no change in their sales, so that's not a bad drop considering there were 16 new albums ahead of them this week.

28 42 VELVET REVOLVER RCA/RMG 32,128 0%

I believe that puts them over 1,200k

Contraband fell off the Top 50 last week... not a big suprise with all the fourth quarter "Greatest Hits" releases and stuff... but the repackaged Contraband jumped back up to #44... not that high, but it's sales are higher than they've been for at least the past five months:

-- 44 VELVET REVOLVER RCA/RMG 49,492 --

Pretty decent for the amount of time it's been out, here's the chart for the last week, there's some pretty big jumps all across the board:

The B-Sides and Christmas I guess, cuz they had another increase this week, over 50,000:

44 42 VELVET REVOLVER RCA/RMG 51,216 +3%

With the Grammy nominations out now, they might be able to keep up the high sales... and If they win a few it should boost them even more... the new single should help too (DLT I guess?), especially if they make a video.

I guess this album has some legs.  Clearly the biggest rock band of the year.
