They're only about 400,000 units short of double platinum!

I would have to assume it is just around double Platinum by now... I am sure we will hear about it when it does...

They have feel of the map, their publicity totally stopped.. I think they did it themselves by being so busy... Contraband is a little over 1.7 million in the usa,. Sucks dlt never took of twas a good tune to help promote the album..

I think they shouldve followed FTP up with YGNR and then finished with a rocker.

I am surprised they didnt use YGNR as a single. Will they be releasing any more single from CB or is it done?

it's safe to say they aren't going to get anything ,more out of CB even if they use ygnr as a hold over single to keep teh name around.. They really didn't keep much in the public when dlt went out they didn't even support it like the prior two singles.. CB's chart placing is done..

I would think they are all done but who knows... Alot of people will disagree with me but I think releasing Fall To pIeces was a mistake or they should have waited... I know it was a success but I think it put a sour taste in alot of Hard Rock fans mouths.. I know alot of people that like VR and Contraband but hate that song... Others that don't like VR because of it.... Anyway, I doubt there will be anymore singles.. Its time to get ready for the next album. I really think thi sband has come together and I think the new song kicks ass. I can't wait to see whats next...

This is from today's - July 18, 2005 - NY Post newspaper ... It says Contraband was certified double platinum last week.

Page Six
Richard Johnson With Paula Froelich and Chris Wilson

Keep it clean
SCOTT Weiland is a free man.? The skeletal Velvet Revolver singer - who's been arrested numerous times for cocaine and heroin possession - was finally acquitted last week of all felony charges stemming from a 2003 drug bust after successfully completing a rehab program.? The acquittal means Weiland no longer has to report to his probation officer, which we hope doesn't tempt him to resume his drug-devouring ways.? Also last week, Velvet Revolver's debut album, "Contraband" was certified double platinum.

That doesn't seem right... the album isn't selling anymore and I think it's total is around 1.6, 1.7 million.  Would they really ship 2 million considering the album has already been out for over a year?

It didn't sound right to me neither but that is what the paper says.
Is it possible that maybe they got the Contraband numbers confused with the GNR Greatest Hits numbers?? Huh
