Why does it matter? Their albums dont sell more than 500k copies anyway so it shouldnt matter to us how much it sells. I doubt the band even really cares all that much. It's been a long time since they sold a lot of albums.

Why does it matter to you what matters to people posting in this thread?

The fanpack is Number 3 on the pre-orders chart on play.com, amazing!

I didn't think CA would chart well in the UK due to the staggered release, but it seems the fanpack may have sold enough for it to get a respectable position on the official chart.

Album sales are very poor in the UK at the moment, only approx 13,000 needed for Number 1... just sayin'  2.gif

# 2 laugh.gif

The album (UK = July 9th) is #9

Considering the roughly 100k copies sold, and the average price at Best Buy / Amazon, that means the album netted.....

I calculate authoring rights at 8% of the cover price... so it's clean in the guys hands (before tax...)

Proves that Rush fans buy Rush albums.

 

I'll bet the next album sells about 90,000 copies. Mark it down now. wink.gif

 

Rush fans tend to be older and still like a physical media. Usher fans are far younger and far more likely to just do downloads. Probably aren't a lot of people PINING for a vinyl copy of Usher's album either. We're old and, largely, set in our ways. Nothing much will change that.
