That's your opinion. I'm talking about facts here. And btw, I agree that The Eagles are the shits. But so is U2 nowadays and IMO they couldn't be less relevant if they tried.

The Eagles and U2 are not the biggest bands in the world. Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones are. The Eagles and U2 would be third and fourth however. Anyways, The Eagles have sold more albums in the US (85 Million+) than U2 (50 Million+), but not worldwide: U2 - 135 Million The Eagles - 120...

There'll be a second show added for the next night. But not because there's demand for one at current prices. But because there's no return engagements in San Diego and Phoenix.

You didn't read what I said. And The Division Bell's 16 country total was 7 Million copies sold...and that was years ago. And we all know how many countries there are in the world, don't we? It's not too far fetched to believe that it's sold 10 Million copies worldwide to date. Yes it is true...

Ok, let's get a few things straight here. First of all, Squire: Thank you for your wisdom. You provide objectivity on this forum. And that's more than I can say for many of the people here. Btw, did you know that Floyd sold 140,000 tickets for two nights at Estadio Jose Alvalade in Lisbon on...

Your point? In order to do that, they'd have to average at least 42,000 per week. LOL Maybe you should check your facts? I'm talking about worldwide.

That's only because HTDAAB was only priced at between $7.99-$10.99 in it's debut week in many retail outlets. If it had been priced at a higher regular price, it wouldn't have sold anywhere near that amount in week 1 and at this time. In fact, it would be lower than AYCLB's sales when comparing...

Re: Re: Re: What are you talking about? The RIAA only certifies album in the US. And HTDAAB hasn't sold anywhere near 8 Million copies to consumers yet - it's at less than 7.5 Million right now. It will have by the end of the Spring though.

Re: What are you talking about? You can cloud the issue all you want. And most of what you've said above I already know. But it's a fact that AYCLB sold 10.8 Million copies worldwide, as of January 2005. Trying to tell me something about the music industry is like showing me what 1+1 equals...

That's just not true. And you know it.

I'll take Billboard's figure over your conjectured, fudging the facts data. The rest of the 5-10% is extrapolated - you know that.

Maybe to retailers but not to consumers.

According to Billboard, as of January 2005, AYCLB has sold 10.8 Million copies (to customers) worldwide.

I don't know where you're getting the 138 shows for the Licks tour. Because Soldatti is right, there were 115 shows. And the above North American shows you've listed are included in the total amount of tickets sold for this tour (minus the SARS Benefit show), which was 2.970 Million.

But I found on another message board, your stats read that this particular tour including the SARS benefit show totaled 3.460 Million tickets sold. So subtracting that from the SARS benefit show is roughly 2.970 Million. Yeah, that's true. It's quite confusing. I think it's because they had to...
