good for Green Day. It's just the kind of album I wanted from them. I'm not disappointed.

Kid Rock's the only one at around 3 million in total sales.

With lots of buzz and no promotion I think it faired pretty good run for a while anyways.

paisleypark4 said:

indeed. some of his other albums from the previous 15 years sank way
faster. the rainbow children hardly dented the charts, for instance.

it did well enough. besides, his income is not from selling records,
it's from touring and doing these high paying one off gigs these days.

so i think that he's happy as long as he can release something new
every year and break even or make a million or 2 from it. it's not
as if his album has to sell 3 million copies to keep him eating and
renting his rediculously expensive hacienda.

Its past sales of Planet Earth and approaching 3121

There should be a new chart of relevance in terms of who is getting paid and who isnt, if that chart existed you would see about 5 of those 200 albums listed as actual profit for the artists.

Pet Shop Boys had that nice debut but are already out of the 200....sad.

I didn't even know he had a new album out? I did see/hear the video for "Arab Money"....offensive enough title?

novabrkr said:

The only one around 3 million but these two recent releases have passed it.

Not that I like them but proof there are still some possibilities of big releases. Just need the demand.

VinnyM27 said:

Very offensive title, but then again, he is pretty ignorant from past comments. As for the PSB album, they should be glad to even chart or be issued in this country at all.

Oh okay. Beyonce's not that far off either.
