If you go to the Billboard website you can't see below the Top 50 Album/CD sales unless you buy a subscription. Frustrating. Thanks for the info, soldatti.

egon

are these figures just for the US, or worldwide?
cos if it's worldwide, it seems a bit poor to me.

- what do you mean i sound like jb? -

Just USA.

So 4 Flicks has only sold 137k compared to over 400k for LZ...and does the 2.3 million for 40 Licks reflect the X2 multiplier for being a double-disc?

That 137K is from only one store. Perhaps the decision to do that was a mistake.

12-19-03 09:39 AM

Very poor marketing startegy as it should have easily sold 250k units by now...

The sole benefit was that it kept prices down which was good for us. Did you buy several copies yet?

12-19-03 09:47 AM

I bought 3 copies...1 for me and 2 for gifts..

12-19-03 09:48 AM

glencar

I too bought 3. One for me, one as a gift & then a third which was for a Euro friend but then it turned out that they can't play it over there so now I have a spare.
