Re: Chinese Democracy UNDER 300,000 copies sold first week?
At least we can all agree on fucking Brittney Spears.
No arguing that point! 
I honestly believe that this album won't follow the "normal" path many records follow. I think the lack of promo, lack of Axl, lack of a video, etc hurt the initial sales. HOWEVER, I do believe the better songs (Better, If The World, T.W.A.T., The Blues) will help this album. It won't be another Dark Side of the Moon (which stayed on the charts an eternity) but I think it will fall off in sales but then have relatively high sales corresponding with the releases of singles like Better, The Blues, etc. Of course IF these singles happen. If there is more promo that will help and videos would do wonders. Alot of fucking IFS there but I do think my theory will hold true. We'll see soon.

I wouldn't fuck Britney Spears if given the chance.
Well I will wait a little and see if you flip flop on that like you do with Guns N' Roses:haha::haha:
Not even once? I'd be all over that in a second.. Make her dress up in the baby one more time outfit.. And I will stop before I ruin some virgin eyes.:haha:

Still doesn't mean much to me. My interest is the number of units sold within the first couple of months, in particular the first month.
How many would it have sold had it not been a Best Buy exclusive? Best Buy isn't exactly on the same level as say a Wal-Mart.
I still say it will do better (by a million or so) than Contraband did when the smoke clears. To me that's successful enough. I never thought it would be the 10 million units sold like some people dreamed of. I guesstimate it will sale 3-3.5 million copies.
Keep in mind that the target crowd will NOT be the downloaders like most of us, it will be the guys who still buy cds at Wally-World or wherever. I was in Wal-Mart today buying some stuff (for fuck's sake STAY AWAY from Wal-Mart until after Xmas...it's HELL!!!) and a Forty-ish looking "good 'ol boy" was looking for the album. This isn't over.
Totally Agreed!! I think that it only being available at Best Buy could have totally hurt the sales it's first week if people don't know that it's only available there. When they find that out, now they are going to get the album.

Yeah, not do Britney Spears..that's kind of a nutty opinion. I'd do her with the shaven head even.
Like that guy Jason Alexander, he'll never pay for a beer again for the rest of his life. "Dude! I gotta buy you one! You the man!". The movies, parking tickets..you can just forget about it. You'd get more pull than a well shaped blonde.

I love how the word 'flip flop' is being thrown around, which I never did. 
I love the new band, but we all know what the real future for this brand is.
As for Britney, maybe it's because when I was in middle school, all the boys were crazy about her, and I had to hear about it everyday with Baby One More Time, etc....
Nah, i'd pass on Britney. I've been steadfast in that opinion for 10 years. I was always more of a Mandy Moore guy...

I think in hind-sight, Wal-Mart was the better deal.
Swap out Riad & Sorry with two other songs, and get a bigger payday, and more record sales. Wal-Mart gave AC/DC a great push, and probably would've done the same for GN'R.
I agree with this point of view. Best Buy just isn't large enough in comparison.
