The Greatest Hits chart positions thread

[Crowebar]

ya the release date in north america is still the 23rd,ill be pickin up 2 copies also

Why you be buying 2 copies there malcolm???


Buying one for me dude???

[grog mug]

I think it will sell more in the United States.

[kujo722]

Dude I dont have a problem with any motherfucker who is gay.

Shit fool Im a lesbian, so sit down.

GNR was at the top of the music game. It is a little wrong to have these numbers when some queer pop act has numbers that are more then double, GH album or not. As a reference, find yourself the numbers of how much Nirvana's GH sold.

No nothing stupid there.

Anyway if you are trying to make a point about Nirvana GH compared to GnR GH, just make it.

[axl_rose_700]

Good detective work Kujo. I hope you didnt take too much time out of you busy day looking that up.

Wow really, that is what a lesbian is? Well, cover me in shit and call me a sunday. Pffff...

Anyway, alright great GNR sold 25,000 in the UK. I have to find out how much Nirvana sold there in the same time period.

Maybe Kujo, you can put all your many resources to good use and find that out.

That's alot, 25,000 copies in half a week in the UK alone.  Should sell a couple of million worldwide, and don't forget albums don't sell as many as singles.

This is good for business...Axl dude, you're riding another wave of HUGE publicity! Do it now, for the children's sake!  

[Captain P?l]

I think it will sell more in the United States.

i dont think so, considering that USA is 10times bigger.... (sarcasm)  

great. why would one want a GNR product to fail? and if its in 2. place and youi say it sell's bad, then you are a jerk, it still was the secund most sold album that day!

[Bahad]

This is good for business...Axl dude, you're riding another wave of HUGE publicity! Do it now, for the children's sake!  

This what I am thinkin' to. This lawsuit is like the promotion of GH. Any publicity is good Hope Axl and the co. uses that in right direction.

i think axl is exerienced with bad PR is good PR.... he is mr. bad PR himself!

[BucketRose]

So, in other words, the .057 percent of the GnR fans who still actually care about the band went out to purchase GH in support of their hero, Axl Rose.

Cmon, people.  We're bragging about an album selling 25,000 on its first day.  Did you hear that?  25,000.  Thats nothing.  I can't believe how some of you still carry on about GnR "taking over" the rock world again.  This band is a novelty act and a nostalgia act...and thats all Axl will ever be from here on out.  If you don't believe me, then get a copy of the '88 Ritz show....THAT was Axl Rose....THAT was GnR.  Axl is a middle-aged man and he knows his glory days are behind him...thats why he's so afraid to release anything and be dismissed as a vital artist.  He knows that if that happens, he'll become the new David Lee Roth...a joke...a former great, fallen from glory.

At this point, I don't think we'll ever see CD.  Then why keep following GnR?  Because its interesting, I guess.  I don't really have any more expectations left....I just follow GnR because its more interesting than most anything else going on in the music world today.

why shouldnt we be glad? if they hit nr. 2!?

[DazRose85]

George Michael has sold just over 60,000 copies of his album on the first day of sales.

[Doc Emmett Brown]

ya the release date in north america is still the 23rd,ill be pickin up 2 copies also

No matter how many extra copies you buy for coffee coasters and such, it'll take some really good PR to generate good sales.

I cant believe that Norah Jones' latest album sold 1 million copies in its first week - I'm still baffled by that...

[Captain P?l]

just one q... are there 25000 records in the record shops thoughout england, or are there 250000 cd's scattered around englad in people homes... if you know what i mean?

[metallex78]

Hmmm... people here have been saying Axl should release CD now with how well GH is selling, but all the GH album does is remind everyone how good the OLD band was, it doesn't give any credit to Axl's new band which he's been working to build up over the last few years.

With Axl suing Geffen over GH's release, I hardly think he's gonna use it as a springboard to launch CD.

I could be wrong though...

[Izzy]

I suppose 25,000 is pretty good for first day sales, bearing in mind the advertising for it hasn't been great.

[neko]

well i was surpised today when i found here in Mexico the GH cd , with a huge poster and a lot of cds in an special place , it was cool to see Guns being promoted like that in the store , i was expecting the cd to a arrive at the same time that in U.S , i dont know why we have it sooner , but thats cool.

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

Well, that sucks on the one hand. On the other it shows that damn many people still care a lot for GN'R.

/lastroots

Yeah it does suck that it is selling because none of the members wanted it. Yeah it does show how people still want Guns N' Roses around. I wonder if it will break into the charts in the US and how many will sell? If this sold 25,000 I think CD will do pretty good once it ever comes out this year.  

[sami]

Let me put this in perspective for some of you.

You know that queer hush puppy George Michael? He is making a big comeback whateverwhogivesafuck. His album cam out the same week as the GNR GH album.

Yes the GH album sold 25,000 copies. You want to take a venture on how much the number 1 position album sold (and yea it was from the queer guy's)?


$60,000.

Chew on that for awhile.

Correct me if Im wrong but hasn?t UK been the promisedland of that kind of gueerpop for ever. I know GNR has been in the charts in UK and very high too but
pop will always be the number 1

[SlashFan]

gueerpop

Is that a word?

[sami]

gueerpop

Is that a word?

Do u meen the g instead of q or the whole word
