Re: New Album

Quote: (Originally Posted by titan9) I think the key to AB's new album selling well is radio airplay. I honestly feel that had ODR's singles gotten more airplay, ODR would have went platinum. If one of AB's new singles gains some momentum on rock radio, I could see this new album selling platinum. Otherwise, I think the sales will probably be similiar to ODR's.

I agree.

It was a difficult decision which song to release first. They took the safest option - Open Your Eyes. This is a very radio friendly song, but I think a lot of people listened to it and thought ODR would be 'Creed album 4'. Could they have sold more if Metalingus was released first??

I'll make a bold prediction that their next album will sell around 150,000 in the first week - if they get the airplay.
