Forty Licks is out of the Billboard 200 again but is expected to re-chart next week.
Check this in Billboard. In the ask part they said how many copies has sold in U.S. (the last question)

Only 2 million-what a joke....it's astonishing how few copies sold.... |

If I'm not mistaken, I think Cher's greatest hits album has sold just about as much and has been in the charts for a long while.
I may be wrong, but I've seen her album in the charts for a long time now. |

2 million is pretty lame. I'm tempted to chalk it up to the fact that everyone already has "Hot Rocks," so why bother with the recent output.
But the more likely explanation is that the record-buying public simply does not care about the Rolling Stones anymore, outside of a core of diehards (like me) who will buy anything they put out, even though buying "Forty Licks" is an exercise in redundancy. |

don't forget that recors sales have dropped a lot the last few years .
a new cd just doesn't sell as many copies anymore as it used to.
that's why record companies turn to dvds, they sell a lot more of those!

Good point, Egon. I remember, after the Led Zeppelin freshet was released, record execs were saying DVDs could help rescue the industry ... |

This is a huge disappointment by anyone's standards...this was promoted heavily on T.V and the tour, and while others will say it's quadruple platinum, we all know that's bullshit as it simply doubles the only 2 million people who purchased 40 Licks...only 2 million!!!!!!!!! |

Also, keep in mind that that it was a double cd - if billboard is stating 2 million in america, than it really only means 1 million units sold since double cds are considered 2 units each. quote] |

The album has sold 2.010.000 copies in the States.
The album was certified 4x Platinum because RIAA takes the album as double by excess of 100 minutes. |
