Everyone knows album sales have been growing weaker and weaker every year, while single sales have grown higher and higher. But you may not have realized how quickly it has happened, and that there's no end in sight. Today, 25,000 album sales will get you a spot in the top 10. This week, "The Devil Wears Prada" released a new EP, entitled "Zombie" which did just that. It hit #10 with first week sales of 25,000.
On the comparable frame last year, the #10 spot was held by "Now That's What I call Music 31", which sold 33,000 albums.
In 2008, Shwayze's debut album "Shwayze" (real creative there) entered at #10 with sales of 47,000. 0_o.
But why stop there? Let's look at the chart week ending March 7, 2010.
Lifehouse's Smoke & Mirrors hit #6 with sales of 54,000. In March 2007, Relient K's Five Score and Seven years ago opened to #6 with sales of 62,000. Not a good comparison? Whatever I just wanted to bring it up.
anyway...randomness....
