First Ever Rock n Roll Self Help Book Debuts at #4 on New York Times Bestseller List Sixx:A.M. Single Nabs Top 5 Chart Position

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Apr 21, 2011) - The already two-time New York Times bestselling author Nikki Sixx's latest offering, "This Is Gonna Hurt: Photography And Life Through The Distorted Lens Of Nikki Sixx" (William Morrow) has just bowed in the #4 spot on The New York TimesBest-Sellers list. Written as a tribute to Sixx's institutionalized sister, the book (and companion album) explores what true beauty is and embraces our own power around that. Written entirely by Sixx with no ghostwriter, the book is part journal, part memoir, and part social commentary and features his original photography. Sixx is currently on a national book-signing tour, please see below for upcoming cities/dates. He continues to host his syndicated radio program Sixx Sense and The Side Show Countdown With Nikki Sixx (www.sixxsense.com).

"In a world of YouTube overnight sensations, Nikki Sixx has shown that he is quite the contrary. A two-time bestselling author, rock icon, and overall creative force, Nikki comes into his syndicated radio show, Sixx Sense, every day with the intent of raising the quality bar higher than even the day before. He is an inspiration to us and his fans and a testament to hard work, creativity and originality and it shows in his #1 ratings in his time slots in markets like LA, Denver and Portland. With his second Top 5 single and second bestselling book, it's a pleasure to be working with one of the most talented and creative minds in entertainment today," said SVP Programming for Premiere Radio Networks Jennifer Leimgruber.

Sixx's "other band," Sixx:A.M. is currently enjoying success with the track "Lies Of The Beautiful People." Also entitled THIS IS GONNA HURT, the album is due out May 3rd via Eleven Music. Sixx:A.M. is James Michael (vocals), Dj Ashba (guitar) and Nikki Sixx (bass).

http://Sixxammusic.com will launch in conjunction with the record, offering fans an up close and personal online relationship with the band for the first time.

"I am grateful and inspired that I have the opportunity to touch people in a unique way with my book THIS IS GONNA HURT and with the music I create with James and D.J. in Sixx:A.M. Traveling around the country, meeting fans and hearing their stories in person and on my radio show has reenergized my commitment to creating honest and inspirational content that not only serves my own creative purposes but can help and touch others as well," said Nikki Sixx.

Looks like a top 20 debut with less than 10,000 units sold in the US?

Jennifer Lopez Outsells Beastie Boys In USA
By Paul Cashmere
2 hours ago (Tue, 10 May 2011 12:15:02 +1000)

A new Jennifer Lopez album has excited American music fans more than a well overdue Beastie Boys record it would seem. JLo?s ?Love? is expected to be the highest debuting artist album on the American chart this week.

?Love? has only done average figures though, around 26,000 according to hitsdailydouble.com. Beastie Boys ?Hot Sauce Committee Part 2? only did around 20,000.

In fact, despite a high number of debuts this week, sales are poor. The biggest debut is the compilation ?Now That's What I Call Music 38? with sales of around 70,000. That is extremely poor for a hits compilation.

Adele will once again reign supreme with the biggest selling album of the year ?21? moving another 133,000 this week.

Other debuts include Steve Nicks first album in 10 years ?In Your Dreams?. Hitsdailydouble predicts sales of around 17,000.

Sade?s ?Ultimate Collection? is aimed for a Top 10 debut with 15,000 sales. Colt Ford ?Every Chance I Get? should do around 10,000. Musiq Soulchild ?Musiqinthemagiq? is also hovering around 10,000 sales, Sixx A.M. (Nikki Sixx) ?This Is Gonna Hurt? has sold just under 10,000 and Fleet Foxes ?Helplessness Blues? will struggle to debut top 20 on around 7000 sales.

It looks like the number he reported wasn't final.  It now says final at Hits Daily Double and they sold:
