Re: AFD on this week's Billboard Top 200...
For the week ending May 24th:
96 GUNS N'ROSES APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION 2.477 -0,3% 2.484 4.781.196
EDIT: This is for the Billboard CATALOG 200 - sorry for any confusion.
Re: AFD on this week's Billboard Top 200...
Wow. 
An old album hitting the top 200 is very unusual.
I'm sure management is watching that development very carefully.
Looks like all the reunion talk and lack of anything CD related has boosted AFD back on the charts.
The album hitting the top 100 is insane. If anything newsworthy happened this week(it wont), AFD could literally hit the number one spot.
An album number one in 1988 regaining the top spot 20 years later??
Under the right conditions, it could happen.

No shit. That's fucked. cracking the top 200 is one thing but to make the top 100 is even crazier. Imagine if they rereleased a song like It's So Easy or Nightrain as a single and all the little young kids got to hear one of those songs instead of the standard three. I bet it could boost album sales in a big way. I often wonder what young kids think when a "rareity" like YCBM or Yesterays or Dead Horse or Brownstone come on the radio.

YCBM isn't much of a rarity as it gets some airplay on music TV channels. But the other ones you mentioned basically hardly anyone in my age group knows of them.

Don't give them any ideas.
We'll be wallowing in AFD rehash with the album back in the top 10.
I know Axl loves the past, but thats taking things a bit too far.:haha:

Then this chart position doesn't mean shit. In fact, I would consider AFD at that position on the catalog chart to be pretty weak.
Oh well. This thread was interesting for about 5 minutes.:laugh:

YCBM is a rareity here for sure. The video NEVER gets on Much Music it's once in a blue moon you hear it on radio. Yesterdays in fact gets a decent amount of air on the radio here but it's always at like 3:00am when I hear it. I don't think I've ever heard it durring peak hours. All those Illusion songs had lots of play back in the day but once their time was up mainstream radio fell back to the big three from AFD. At least here that's how it went.

Yeah, UYI dropped off the worlds radar very quickly.
On most best 90's albums lists, it never even makes it.
AFD will always be GNR's bread and butter.

UYIs are vastly underrated.
