most likely trying to get rid of some copies. 

There is simply too many of the things lying around the shelves. 

Im surprised its not selling more at that price.

Because it's not a new release?


Just for comparison, The Killers' "Day & Age" is sold at the same price. Both were released the same week....

Yes, and if you hold that level of commercial success, or even the level of the UYI records, then virtually any album released in this era of downloading (both legally and illegally) can be deemed a failure.

5 million copies in 2008-2009 is not a modest number.   All things considered, I think its sold pretty well.. but we can all do things like VoodooChild so when you see it being sold somewhere, move it to the front  Smiley   or at that price, why not buy one for a friend?

After fifteen long years of speculation, rumours, and disappointment, the one-time "most dangerous band in the world" finally reward their fans' patience with the release of Chinese Democracy. Guns N' Roses' fifth full-length studio album of original material is an uncompromising, fully-focused, hard rock monster that brings the rockers' early sound alive with modern day stylistics.

 rofl hihi rofl

... Chinese Democracy has become an audacious, unhinged, and uncompromising hard rock record that marks a triumphant return to form for one of history's greatest rock bands.

 ok

The funny part (or sad) depending on your perspective in 20-30 years from now CD may be considered a massive album everyone missed out on because of crap that does not concern them.  If you take away all of the bullshit around the album what you end up with is an album that no other hard rock/metal bands have the balls to put out or even try.  (I an only referring to NA bands on major labels as I am well aware of many amazing bands from around the world that just do their own thing and are amazing)  On top of that very few albums if any sell in the numbers that AFD sold in.  In the end though most bands are making more money from touring then they ever have before.  Bands are now not only allowed to sell their music to tv shows and movies but to video games, commercials etc.

Is there some kind of official link?   
Not even Death Magnetic has sold that many.
Maybe it means shipped??

I must of missed something - I always thought 5.4 million copies sold was pretty good/positive considering there was no real promotion and little advertising.

Does anyone know how much albums they have actually sold Huh

I don't believe it is anywhere near 5.3 million.   Back in April it was around the 3 million mark.

The album is not in the billboard 200, so i doubt it is selling that much each week.
