From what I've been able to track down, as of last week, total US sales for ODR was 291,500 and as of right now, ODR is at #200 on the Billboard Top 200 *ouch* What concerns me is that if the label/riaa has them certified Gold based on albums shipped, then the expectation was that they would hit that 500,000 sales mark...sooner, rather than later. A pessimist at heart, I can't help but wonder...underneath it all, was there too high of an expectation out of the gate? |

I think the biggest selling album ever is like Eagles Greatest Hits at like 30,000,000 sold worldwide. :eek: I'm :confused: . Way back when ODR came out, some of you said it had already been certified gold because that's how many were shipped and the president of Wind-Up gave the plaques to the guys and Myles cried and so forth. So, certification was based on shipments. Now, it's been certified for that many sales as well? Yes, I do believe we had too high expectations, but 500,000 in 3 mos. equals, hopefully 1,000,000 in half a year and 2,000,000 in a year. Of course, sales will speed up for Christmas, slow down afterwards and such, but, hey, there not doin' too bad for a debut album. |
If Wind Up had advertised a little for the band and the album in USA and the rest of the world, then they would be getting a platinum record now! Screw you, Wind Up!! :mad:
|
they need to promote more internationally......
|
It seems labels are really dropping the ball on marketing and promotion of late. They all seem to be crying poor-mouth, so I guess they are cutting back in that department, which really seems foolish, given that I would think a little advertising and promotion would help their sales. Why go through all of the work and then not do much to get it the hands of fans and attract new fans?
|
Sony said they're not promoting Alter Bridge overseas coz they will make plenty of money in US, therefore they'd rather promote the smaller bands from US overseas, such Good Charlotte.

wow.....this is my 1st sticky thread!!
