Live Licks was certified SILVER in UK for shipments of 60,000 copies, but the real number is 30,000 copies because it's a double album. That's good news because No Security never reached certifications worldwide.
The worldwide chart run for Live Licks is this:
Argentina: *1*-3-5 (5,000 copies)
Germany: *9*-35-46-71
Greece: *9*-9-14-25
Austria: *13*-23-24-39-47
Sweden: *16*-31-52
Holand: *19*-19-31-48-49
Eurochart Top 100: *19*-31-42-91
Japan: *19*-45-74-117 (20,000)
Swiss: *21*-27-39-60-87
Worldwide chart: *24*-40 (+300,000)
Portugal: *27*
Italy: 36-*34*-49
England: *38*-68-89-132-195 (SILVER AWARD - 60,000 copies)
France: *38*-47-64-83-93
Norway: *38*
Denmark: *42*-68
Belgium (Flanders): *47*-48
Belgium (Wallony): *49*
USA: *50*-144 (45,000)

At least is something, No Security never reached any award and had a 6 months tour behind.
Don't you worry Corgi, the new album will sell VERY good becausue is the first in 8 years and maybe the last one... |

Disgraceful.
On behalf of my fellow citizens, I apologise to Stones fans worldwide because so many of our fellow countrymen bought enough copies of this to actually give it some credibility.
I shall don a sackcloth and ashes for the next 7 days |

Uh...youre comparing a UK figure for the Stones with what is either a US or worldwide figure for U2. They certainly wouldnt have sold anywhere near a million in the UK in a week
anyway, aside from the fact the album sold badly (as expected) to expect the zillionth Stones live album to sell anything like U2's first studio album in four years is optimism bordering on insanity |

Meanwhile, down here in the "lower continent", were made a total of 15.0000 copies, for the whole Brazil.
I've checked last monday every record store here in my city and only ONE had Live Licks. In the others I heard things like these from shopkeepers:
- I won't buy. Everybody is saying is a crap
- New Stones record? Where? how?
- The Virgin vendor did not offer this disc here
- I'll wait for when the price decrease
- Stones do not sale well here. I won't buy (to sale).
- I'm not interested in buy this shit.

>Argentina: *1*-3-5 (5,000 copies)
Soldatti, is this a typo or does hardly anyone in Argentina buy albums?
Seems hard to believe that in a country as big as Argentina anyone could enter the album charts at number 1 yet after 3 weeks have only sold 5,000 copies...

The piracy here is the 90% of the market, Forty Licks only sold 20,000 official copies but counting ilegal copies the number is 3 times that, the same goes for Live Licks: 5,000 official copies and ilegal copies 2-3 times that. |

How come it is habit of all many Stones fans and some others to compare U2 to The Stones?
Before it was the Beatles, which is somewhat, just somewhat understandable. Then the Beatles stopped.
Then it was The Who. Again only somewhat understandable. Then The Who became irrelevant.
Now it is U2 all the time.
They are totally different groups with totaly different musical agenda's and push different issues.
Reguardless of even that fact, U2 can not compete nearly with what The Stones have done for music. Kind of like comparing Lennox Lewis with Mahammad Ali or something. He will always come up plenty short.

That's because U2 is the most popular group at this time, and they lasted more than 25 years now. No one is talking of music level. |

Well, bugger me! LL IS released here. JB hi-fi have it. And, guess what?
It discounted!
But, not as discounted as i can get it for. I downloaded disc 2, despite my rantings.
I woke up 1/2 way through "Worried 'bout you".
Bring on the new stuff, and lets just pretend this never happened.
