The Greatest Hits chart positions thread

[Scottyl333]

i was surprised to.  Lets see if it keeps selling or if it just drops off the charts

[bill213]

Hmm it may have even sold more if all you bastards didn't decide to boycott it.

You would think that the phenomenal sales of an album with no new material would be a cluse to Axl, Slash, and the rest that they're on the wrong path...the world wants this band. Put your fucking egos aside and reclaim your throne!

[D]

usher has a brand new album with the number 1 song and a second song already in the top 20

gnr had zero new material, it was barely promoted and still sold over 172,000 copies

if that isnt a sign that c.d. will move over 500,000 first week nothing is

imagine a kick ass single, a new cd promotion etc, it will sell thru the roof

surely this has to make axl smile

gnr arent a joke fuckers they are still relevant!


i picked up aerosmiths new cd today as well as a country cd tracy lawrence, i saw gnr's greatest hits sittin there on the shelf smilin at me, and even though ive burnt way better greatest hits i was paralyzed by my loyalty to GNR and i bought the fuckin thing anyway

If it doesnt show Axl a reunion would be the best thing, I agree with D, it at least shows the name has marketing power. But with every misstep, how much of that marketing power is lost?
Also like D, I too went to pick up the new Aersomtih (which is AWESOME), and was blinded into buying GH. When you actually listen to it, the playlist flows pretty good.

[jazjme]

I have to agree on that I wound up buying the GH the day it came out.... and as many GNR hits I burned I have to say that it does flow really nicely, and its been in my CD 3 disk player since I got it, and I change the other cds daily.......

[grog mug]

I knew it would be top 3, awesome news.  This should be proof that Axl can still sell material very well.

u said it all dude!!!

just reunite or at least put CD out and rule the world like gnr used to do

[SLCPUNK]

they bought a GH album with a shiny cover for $7.99

Yea at that price point it's easy to lure in a casual listener who always liked GnR. Easy sell.

[audjon]

172000? Thats alot.

Damn, released one week earlier and they would've taken the #1 spot  

[5thofwhiskey]

it is obvious that the world loves the original band:

Axl Rose
Slash
Duff
Dizzy
Izzy
Steven


The world has spoken. It really is amazing. I remember back in the 93-97 ERA the public was bashing the band as a whole. But now it is they love the ex-members and bash Axl. Which sadness me greatly. I know it is not Axl's fault. I really wish they could get someone to intervine because Duff and Slash are to blame. Izzy and Steven are also. This band if they were to regroup would be the biggest touring band in the world. They would not be able to reach the sound of this new band, but they would be every bit as cool as the Rolling Stones.

It is obvious that they work best as a unit. Slash and Duff have not been able to achieve success outside Guns. I do not think Izzy has tried.

I love the new members. Whether are not they are Guns is to be seen with an album release. That is most everyones policy. Until then the LiveERA group still sits in their kings chairs.

That is fair.


But wow. How can even Axl ignore the outpour of the chart topping GH's. The fans call for a new album, while they call for the LiveERA band to regroup. If both were done Guns would be huge again.

Greatest Hits = origianl band - origianl music - "the name"

it has nothing to do with the new band.

and no Jarmo this is not spam it is not bashing Axkl. I  LOVE AXL. it's the truth.

I'm sure the exmembers have a lot of water under the bridge. It would be extremely hard for them to mend the wounds. I say do not dwel on the negatives, but look at the positives they had. Even if the negatives outweigh the positives.

Sometimes the hard is what makes it great.

Guns n' Roses

Today on Channel 4's Teletext service, it says The GH is head to head with Anastasia's new album for the number 1 UK spot - both outselling Ushers album.  

So much for the boycott eh? lol

[audjon]

For the second week in a row, GH is the #1 album in Iceland.

[NickNasty]

And as every hard rock fan on every continent calls for their kings to return, do they listen? do they care? rock is only as dead as the egos of the geniuses who refuse to get off their high horses and do something.
GNR: the name lives on, but can it ever be more than just a name again?

[bolton]

[matt88]

Hmm it may have even sold more if all you bastards didn't decide to boycott it.
