"Chinese Democracy" chart placing/predictions

[CheapJon]

fucking NO ! for fucking sure for fucks sake 

sorry for the words . I am just too exited because i didn't think that this here would actually happen .....

why the "no" and not yeah? 

[Axl the Red]

considering SCOM is gn'r's only no. 1 song, I'd say this will be in the top 20.

i saw on jeopardy the other day zepplin only had one top ten hit, care to guess which track?

Zep didn;t release any singles did they? STH got into the top 10 being done by other artists

well the jeopardy answer, er... question was 'whole lotta love'

[BatVin]

only one way we can ensure it's a hit... by REQUESTING IT!!!!

I've left 13 msgs already at my local radio station in the last hour requesting it... come on guys!!!! 

I've sent no less than 100 txt requests to my station. I got one reply and it said "I'm more of a free tibet person actually." Haha.

I have done also something like that...wish there will be more fans c'mon we are fans, lets promote our band, GNR.

AC/DC's "Black Ice" is flying off the shelves at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club, the exclusive U.S. retailers for the album that arrived yesterday (Oct. 21). Sources estimate the set sold 193,000 copies in its first day of sale, and could move upward of 800,000 in its first week.



U gotta figure CD will at least do that good.

[Eazy E]

Wow, I would have never thought they could move numbers like that... Hits Daily Double even hinted that AC/DC might approach Lil Wayne's first week sales (biggest of the year).

How great would it be if Chinese Democracy could have the biggest first week of the whole year?

[jazjme]

Probably better!

[D]

It certainly has a great shot.

U factor everything in ON TOP of it being the week of Black Friday and it could do a million.

I'm astonished the AC/DC record is doing that well.  Maybe there really is something to this 'exclusive retailer' thing.  Damn, if AC/DC hits 800,000, I hope that GN'R would at least hit that much in the first week.

Also, Walmart have a lot more stores than Best Buy and a lot more "middle america" rock type fan shoppers than Best buy also

plus a shit load more people randomly browse walmarts


Hell, wal Mart probably would've been better than Best Buy truth be told.

In terms of pure units sold, probably

In terms of what works best for the the band and label, definitely not otherwise they would have gone that route.  Wal-Mart's censors probably requested they remove masturbation from CD, fuck from Rhiad, etc.

didn' the Illusion do a million combined on the 1st day and a million each in the 1st week?
if they do a quarter of the first day and half of the first week, they'll still be ahead of ac/dc

DO you have any clue about how HUGE AC/DC's fan base is? If you did , you shouldn't be surprised with how well their cd is doing....

Uh, yes, I do.  I own 12 AC/DC albums.

But, if you knew how well the last album, Stiff Upper Lip, sold, you might be surprised at how well this one is selling.  The last album sold 193, 000 copies in the first week and nearly a million overall.

Just for a little perspective there.

No. Each UYI sold about 750,000 the first week. If Chinese does that, it will be a damn good showing.

wal mart suck s... truth be told.

Yes Walmart does suck. It's a huge pig. I'm very happy that Axl did what wasn't expected and went with Best Buy

They are much more respectable. I also think that it's safe to say that the album will sell .5 mil in the first week. Maybe more?

Who knows?

Yeah, I saw that too.  The thing is that the song didn't start to get airplay until Wednesday the 22nd, so that's not even for a full week.

"whole lotta love" was Zeppelins only No. 1 single but then again they only ever released one single!  They did not like singles they believed in the album.  They probably would have had 10 No. 1 singles if they would have released singles.  GNR will be have the number 1 album the week of Thanksgiving and it will sell 1.2 million records
