Re: Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread
I just checked the hard rock charts on billboard, and CD is #5 on there. Not bad, although it dropped from #2 last week. The rest of the top 5 is respectable 4) ACDC, 3) Metallica, 2) Kid Rock, but Nickelback has to be removed from that top spot. That's ridiculous. One thing I did notice and was surprised at, and is basically why I'm posting this. At #10 was Bon Jovi's Cross Road. Wonder why the sudden re-emergence there?

I will start adding this chart as well....GH at #4 Top Pop Catalog.

Once again, Bon Jovi's Cross Road went from #50 to #3. What's up with that? Was there a massive worldwide price cut for that album last week?

WOW
In defense of GNR, quite a few albums become bargain bin items at Best Buy. That's how they operate. They use cheap cds to help get traffic in their stores. Back when I bought Arular, it was $7.99. That wasn't its original price.
This is true. Even though Black Ice wasn't exactly bargain bin it has had a lowered price with Wal Mart since its release, 11.88 I think. That discounted price hasn't hurt sales.
As far as CD being "ready for the bargain bin" this is premature. Better isn't doing bad and I've said from the beginning I expect this album to "hover" rather than crash and that's what it has done. I'm a realist but I don't only look at the negative side (trust me we all know there's plenty of that side and it is very real) and I'm not sold on it being "dead" yet. When May comes around I think it could still push respectable sales at other stores. Best Buy is deader than fuck...you guys been to one lately? I have.
I've dropped by Wally-world too and it isn't. These other stores will help CD out especially with a re-release if it happens.
Re: Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread
An interesting aspect to this is the apathy the hardcores are starting to have(myself included) to the whole saga.
I don't love them or hate them, I'm just disinterested in any excuses for the showing of CD, Axl's disappearance, etc.
"This" version of GnR will never return anywhere near to the top again, and that is okay, as artistic merit isn't measure by sales or Macarena would be the greatest song ever recorded.
This is Axl vision, except I think he thought it would turn out better.
This CD is headed for the bargain bin, and others he makes will end up there as well.

Seems like faster pace than last week, but we'll see.
Re: Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread
Sales now Final:
CD barely clinging to top 50 at #48 with 9,215 sales.I'm sure it will be out of the top 50 next week & completely off the charts soon if something drastic doesn't happen.
Can we call you by your middle name "is"?
