actually it'll go Planitum. Steve Lermer (or whatever, Wind-Up's CEO) said they'll ship 1,500,000 copies. That's platinum.

well, after Stapp's HUGE drop from #19 to currently #28 (and may be lower as the day goes on), he may rethink that...

I'm thinkin' maybe it isn't a good idea to ship that many quite yet. Obviously, the first single is receiving disappointing airplay. Maybe they should wait to ship a million until after one of the singles catches on?

Where'd you hear that he's dropping to number 28? I just checked hitsdailydouble.com and it says he's currently projected to be at 25. Not a huge drop, but the album still isn't doing as well as a lot of people(including myself) expected. I think hitsdaily has it selling around 30-40K in the second week.

EDIT: I stand corrected. It seems hitsdaily has roughly 50% of the sales in, and TGD has thus far sold roughly 27,000. It appears that the real number will be roughly(I guess that's my favorite word today!

) double that(54,000). We'll see for sure on Thursday.

Now, on VH1, he went from #19 to #12???? So go figure.

agreed, but the way I understood, I thought he had already shipped them all.

if they had already been shipped, they would have awarded Stapp the platinum records right then and there...they are awarded the records when they ship, then, should they actually SELL that many, it is then Certified Platinum (or Gold)...

I see. Cool!

oh well... let's see what happens. But I think all this stuff is good to AB anyway.

After selling 30 million albums in however many years (as everyone LOVES beating me over the head with) selling 90,000 means you lost a LOT of fans. AB lost them through a combination of OYE and "Who are they?". Stapp lost them because... He's Stapp.

yeah, it's all good...I have to admit, though, I DO kinda hope that Stapp pulls it together...if for no other reason, for his fans...and, too, despite all of the lies and behavior, every time I hear an interview with him, I want to like the guy...

and considering the amount of promotion stapp received and how much WU has invested on him, Im sure AB has been more profitable in their first week therefor more successfull atleast till now.
