fedeu2 said:Hmmmm, maybe I´m missing something here but I really can´t see how the fact that HTDAAB is now selling "only" as much as ATYCLB is a good thing. I mean, if we accept that the grammies push is not going to happen, at this pace, the Bomb will be selling much less than 50,000 copies a week when the tour finally begins. Such figures won´t be enough for the album to hit the 4 million copies mark (sales to consumers) by the end of 2005.
Sure the album will have a slight increase in sales when the Rock and Roll Fame induction happens, but that´s just about it. It all comes down to the singles and tour from now on.
Hope I´m wrong but it seems PM has screwed it again with the choice and timing of the second single. In my opinion, this was not the right moment to release All because of you (too much similar to Vertigo) and in any case, the video should have premiered on MTV at least two weeks ago.
Sometimes is a much better song, maybe the best of the album together with Miracle drug; they should have released it worldwide to keep the album´s momentum.
Maybe I´m being pessimistic here but I´m a bit disappointed at the moment.
I want this awesome record to sell as much as JT or AB!!
It really deserves it.
