FINAL sales: almost 32.5k

[Heat Myser]

I believe so...

...jesus, wonder how much that costs.

2 years ago it was a $45,000 minimum advertising purchase for a featured profile. There was also a $3k or $4k minimum for any advo purchase.

 

[Nebulizah]

yeah Atmosphere was all over myspace when the new album dropped

 

[funky_muzic]

What's up with the video from Killer? Is it going to be Like Yeah? I need to be able to request something when I go onto MTV.com or MTV2.com.

 

[mrkmaidog]

what was everready's first week sales???

 

[KirbyDaAlmighty]

To tell the honest truth, the only CD this year, for me, that has been all killer, no filler was

"When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold"


I can still listen to it front and back

 

[Phinfan15]

what was everready's first week sales???

27,000

 

[xxfatsxx]

I thought ICP's cd did 23,000 its first week.

 

[TeamZissou]

Does anyone know if the 33,000 for The Tempest was rounded up? We should probably know for sure before anyone goes jizzing on their cat.

FINAL number: 32,625
- 14 on the charts
- will be #1 on the indie charts
- 4th highest debut behind G-Unit, John Mayer and Alkaline Trio.
- outsold some big names. Sold well over half of what the new Jim Jones & Byrdgang album did...and Jim Jones was on 106 & Park last week hyping that up. Imagine if Tech had that exposure. Jim Jones last album was #1 on the indie charts when it debuted and Everready was #2



ps. fucking christ @ Lil Wayne

That's not bad news at all, glad tech finally hit #1 on indie charts, and #14 on charts aint bad, hopefully the sales will continue to rise, other wise he'll just fall off the charts as in previous releases. don't mean to be negative, but i just wanna see this shit be a success.

second that, that album is the shit.

according to biillboards.com

killer sold 36,000

debuts at #12 on top 200.

 

[Kain]

Correction, 36,000.

Billboard - News - Lil Wayne Back On Top Of The Billboard 200

Rapper Tech N9ne scores his highest charting album and best sales week ever as "Killer" (Strange Music/Fontana) debuts at No. 12 with 36,000. The Kansas City native has been charting since 2001; his previous high came with the No. 49 debut and peak of 2007's "Misery Loves Kompany."

 

[BCnuggets]

So is that final and accurate?

 

[Kain]

This article certainly has more weight behind it then the HitsDailyDouble numbers. It's possible though that the number is rounded up as 36,000 is a better number to write then 35,729 (random number) but it should be a solid number since Billboard gets their data from Soundscan or whatever.

 

[BCnuggets]

So is that 36000 before or after the double cd, was it the 18 to 36 or will it be 36 to 72,000. just curious that shit is confusing.

 

[Kain]

36,000 period. Sales are sales.

The multiple disc 'rule' only applies to RIAA certification.

 

[identity-x]

36 before the double CD...

sorry Disco.

 

[HomoErectus]

wow im happy for Tech and Strange. 36k is nice.
lets all do our best to keep the push goin and keep the music spreadin.
i made my own sampler cds wit 5 songs each on em and i give em out to fkn EVERYBODY
yall should do the same and keep this shit MOVIN.

KILLER IN and REMORSE IS OUT

 

[BigRawb]

Yea I was planning on doing that myself... hand out my own samplers. Fuck prozac...

 

[smittycal]

So does this mean there will be a lot of sticky cats in homes accross america lol

This is pretty cool considering that there was not a lot of conventional media hype. It looks like it dosent always work either....look @ Jim Jones w/ 17,000 . The diff is and always will be the quality of music you come out with...this just helps make that a little more true..

And as far as touring goes...like Rawb said theres a new fan in every city...I think that it will be a lot clearer when the Strange only tour starts and we see Tech being able to get into bigger/better venus due to his tour w/ KMK


But as always time will tell
