The Great Divide Album Sales
Hi Everyone,
I was having a Creed/Scott Stapp/Alter Bridge conversation with a few people at another message board and I was wondering how The Great Divide was doing as far as album sales. Does anyone have any numbers? Thanks in advance. |

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
It's definitely shipped platinum, but I'm not sure how much it has sold. I'd say at least Gold.

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
Creed sold more than that! I think they just stopped counting because you know Creed outsells every single band (including U2) Creed have sold well over 34 Million (in the us alone ok) worldwide my estimate would be atleast 50million in the us I would say albums sales were My Own Prison 8 Million Human Clay 13.5 Million Weathered 12 Million and Greatest Hits 1.5 Million |

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
oh good news all major shops in the UK seem to stock a copy of the Great Divide. and at a reasonable price too aroud £11. and they don't say "import" so I don't know if the great divide has now got a uk distributor or the shops can't be arsed to put the sticker on the album
but it's still great news. Before the shops said they can order it and it will take upto 3 weeks so its good news. I go around music shops if I don't see The Great Divide and ask them to order it and then cancel my purchase. lol That's because I have got a copy allready. It's just too make the shop get it in stock |

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
Proof? My statement is based on what the RIAA reports, which is what the basis for all these awards are made. In fact, according to this page: http://www.riaa.com/gp/bestsellers/topartists.asp Creed has "sold" (actually units shipped), in their existance, a combined total of 24 million records, as of July 31, 2006

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
Is that 24 million worldwide or just US? I thought I heard they sold 30 million worldwide, 20-something million US. Not sure, of course.
And, I highly doubt Creed has outsold U2. U2 is the biggest band in the world and has been for 18 years now. I'm pretty sure they've far outsold Creed. Maybe if Creed had stayed together for another 10 years, they might have challenged U2.

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
Yeah, even the soon-to-be-closing Tower Records has a few left.

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
I think Steve is correct. Most articles I've read say they've sold about 25 million (they probably round it off from 24 - a number I've come across from many different sources.)
I think the wordwide total is about 33 million.

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
Thankyou. This is exactly in line with what I was saying. and www.creed.com stated a while back Creed had sold over 34 Million records. And on the performance of Justify by scott stapp the interviewer said creed have sold over 34 million records and when scott played the great divide on a day time TV show in america they said the same thing |

Re: The Great Divide Album Sales
Here we go from Creed.com
"June 4, 2004: After nearly a decade together, Creed has decided to disband. During their 8 years and 3 albums together Creed achieved countless Rock & Roll milestones and sold over 30 million albums worldwide. With their unprecedented success at radio and their captivating live shows, Creed became one of the most successful acts to rule the charts over the past ten years. Click here for the full announcement." This was even before the Greatest Hits CD |
