That's amazing Bodhi, I'm very jealous of your new collection. 

Especially seeing all of those, I remember a guy doing something similar around the release date. I just remember piles and piles of CD, all over his couch and with also a few Vinyls to boot.

The CD is currently the 4th highest selling CD on the website, vinyl still #1.   I guess if the music industry wants to know how to increase CD sales, this is a nice blue print.  The artist and/or record company might make not make any money, but sales would be higher.

Seems to me like alot of people who were curious about this album, due to the name alone. Have finally decided to give it a chance, since the price is so good. Yes, you are right juicySwoos, this is a very good example for fatcat record companys.   

Or then again, the high sales could be down to hardcore GN'R fans like Bodhi, buying up to 8+ copies and scooping up all of the damn stock. 

But on a serious note, I'm glad that thousands of more fans have been exposed to Chinese Democracy due to Best Buys cheap price idea.

This is about the time I hate not having a Best Buy in my city

Nice!  Now if only Best Buy would actually put some signs up in the stores or put the $1.99 SALE sticker on the copies in the stores maybe they'd clear out even more.  Why alert people to the best deal in town though, right?

Call me a pessimist, but this fire sale from Best Buy essentially will prevent the current lineup of Guns N' Roses from ever recording another album.

There are two sides to every story....most of us here are satisfied with the record, and accept the current lineup in the band. However, judging by the sales of the album, especially here in the U.S., and it has become clear that either people don't want a GN'R without certain former members, and/or they hold a grudge against Axl for believing he destroyed the old band. Another factor is that Chinese Democracy didn't yield a strong single, and there was very little airplay after the title track was released to radio. In addition, nothing on the record bears much resemblance to the "classic GN'R" sound a lot of people came to love the band for.

While the band still can tour and get decent draws outside the U.S., it would appear to me that there will not be another significant tour in America...hard to justify a tour promoting an album that's being cleared out for $1.99.

I don't see how this would prevent them from recording another album.  I think Axl is in a position to record as many albums as he want's for the rest of his life.  It is hard to imagine that there would be no major labels ever interested in Guns N Roses.  CD sold over 600,000 copies, thats more than most rock albums that come out today.  They also would have no problem selling out a lot of shows at venues that most rock bands play.  The band  just got asked to headline Rock in Rio!  I'm pretty sure they'll have enough juice to put out another album if they feel like it.

#1: Album sales aren't a measurement of a band's popularity the way it used to be. Why do you think some artists are giving away their new albums these days?
#2: The album didn't sell because people were told it sucks because it's not the old band. I don't know how often I have heard stories of people say it sucks and they didn't even listen to it.
#3: There's still interest in GN'R. Look at how many news stories are written about Axl and the band.
