Libertad sales worldwide

[nesto111]

We know the sales in the US but what are the world wide sales of Libertad?
Does anyone know???

[Robman?]

I found some statistics

Week	Postion	Sold
1	5	173,000
2	17	91,000
3	22	68,000
4	28	57,000
5	31	47,000
6	35	38,000

This is according to the Global Album Chart here: http://www.mediatraffic.de/previous2.htm
After 6 weeks it out of the top 40.
How they figure out sales is here: http://www.mediatraffic.de/about-us.htm

Thats approximately 474,000 copies worldwide in the first 6 weeks of release. So since then it could easily have sold over 500,000. Not a million copies by any means. I think some parts of the world have yet to see it released.

I think it is still hovering around 300k in the US.  A real shame because it is a great record. The curiosity level was high when Contrband was released and it didnt hurt that Slither was a great lead off track. I think if they would have lead off with Get Out the Door it would have been alot better and also the fact that the single wasnt released to radio until 2 weeks before the record hit the shelves. RCA dropped the ball imo. I think Mary, Mary would do well as a single also.

Get Out The Door would have been a perfect lead single.

The SBQM song killed the album.

I for once completely agree

The music business is changing so much-CD sales in the last few years with a lot of artists are really dropping-I see the new Foo Fighters has dropped from #3 to # 16 despite a lot of airplay for the new single

[RTK]

Get Out The Door would have been a perfect lead single.

The SBQM song killed the album.

Thats irrelevant speculation, given the fact that there would have been slow sales no matter what the single was.

Any more worldwide sales numbers for the excellent and sorely underrated Libertad?

That's just as much speculation.  Some CD's do sell well today.  Libertad had just as much chance, had it caught the publics imagination, and sadly that could equally be down to how undermarketed it was.

Fortunately for me, VRs CD sales has no impact on my life whatsoever so I can enjoy their music and not worry if their going to be able to feed their families......

Id much rather see them in small venues live so the smaller their sales the smaller the venues they have to fill and you get a much better show

[Jizzo]

what are the us numbers at now?
