Re: Chinese Democracy UNDER 300,000 copies sold first week?
I think Sorry is an awesome song, I just think that if you really want total for lack of a better word, bubble gummish songs for mainstream release to get the attention of all types of ages, I think these songs are the ones. Not that they are bubble gum or sell out by any means, I just think they are the least complicated songs lets say.
I'm not trying to say I think Sorry is bad, just, from a Marketing point of view, me personally would not put that out there on the radio. Nor, as a radio programmer would I prefer to play that song over a few others. Just mho.
Hey, the ship has now sailed for me. I got the album and now have no expectations for anything in the future. Whatever happens, happens...
Me too. The albums good imho. I gave it an 8/10. Good enough. I do find the sales #'s pretty bad, and don't think they'll drastically improve. It's going to be a fairly low selling album, especially all things considered. Sales wise, it's just another album that came out in 2008, nothing extraordinary.
Alot of reasons, as have been posted. I don't care though, I have my copy. 1 copy of Chinese Democracy is the only stat tracking number I wanted. Finally got it!!

I totally agree with you. Which is why I think CIR or Prostitute would be more radio friendly.

here's a quote form some person commenting on Prostitute on youtube.
"Take the vocal track away and you have background music for a car commercial. That's a very tight and commercially viable sound. Excellent new corporate rock album. I can't wait to see what lousy commercials this album ends up in. Dig that party beat."
Not sure if thats' good or bad. I personally like Prostitute by the way. Top 3 on the album.
