pony2112 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks BigBob! Can't believe some of those earlier albums haven't gone Platinum yet. I was hoping to get a more exact number per album....There was someone that had that info at one time, that posted on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briremo Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) here's Billboard's site. Amazing what Googling Rsuh album sales can pull up on the first page' http://www.billboard.com/#/artist/rush/dis...phy/albums/5579 Edited July 10, 2012 by briremo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason exact album sales numbers are hard to come by. Which is surprising considering how much info there is on the internet today. You can also go to the RIAA web site where they have a searchable database that will tell you on what dates each album was certified gold or platinum. But if an album isn't certified anything, you can't find exact numbers. You must have to be part of the music buisness in some way to find that out.

Presto-digitation Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I believe the band has to pay for the certification process as well, if I'm not mistaken. Many bands don't even do it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 No U.S. gold albums after T4E? Guess that's an indicator of the music business in the internet age... net boy, net girl / illegal downloading 'round the world... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that's an indicator of the music business in the internet age... net boy, net girl / illegal downloading 'round the world... The time they've taken between albums since then doesn't help either. Still, every studio and live release from their first album all the way up to T4E went gold or platinum. Not too many bands can say they had that good of a sales run for over 20 years straight like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were around in the eighties trying to find RUSH and FLY and Steel was a freaking nightmare,When I went to Nashville ,Memphis I found them on cassette in a $3 bin in a Gas Station When I had the first three I was a true RUSH fan in Grade 10.....CD was another story of a pain in the ass to find them.......

I was very lucky, starting with the 1st album, got each one as they were released. I used to listen to the San Antonio station KMAC/KISS everyday. Rush thanks that station on the liner notes in ATWAS. Thanks to everyone for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have a hard time finding the older albums in the '80s, I remember finding the 3 record set of Archives in a record store new for $15. Really wish I wouldn't have traded that in for CDs...
