Rushman14 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 In it's 3rd week, S&A dropped to #35 on the top 200 with 17,294 units sold. Total sales to date are 137,512 units. Hopefully sales will pick up once the tour starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLDFIRE74 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 We will definitely see another boost when the cd/dvd comes out in June. Maybe enough to get to gold status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the state of the US economy is a factor. Gas is $3.20 a gallon, also food prices have risen drastically and people are spending money on fuel burners not laser burners. I luckily get discounts on CDs and get from a distributor and will take QUALITY over quantity. MP3s are for the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wonder how S&A and VT would have sold if they hadn't been leaked onto the internet before their releases?
