The new album will sell probably 2 million tops. It will probably take about a year or a little more for it to go platinum. The music industry and sales figures are so much different than what they were when Creed entered the scene. When Creed made it big, they were the cat's meow. Their sound was new, fresh, and appealing to a large audience. Now that kids like Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift have literally taken over the industry recently, Creed and bands like them obviously aren't in "fashion" any longer. Let's just forget about the sales and focus on the music, because at this point in the game, nothing else really matters anymore. No matter who you are as a musician nowadays, you're going to have to face the simple fact that you're not going to be able to top the new pop princesses and princes because the bulk of music sales will continue to go to them.
