promise to try Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 ptotry- Duran Duran hasn't had a notable U.S. hit since the early 90s, though. So, the timbas could only do so much. And, DD was never as big as M. OK, I see the point in the first part of the sentence.But DD were huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciccone's Cheeks Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 between the concert and upcoming holiday sales, this album may very well surpass 750k-800k when all is said and done! at least itll be better than AL!WAY better by 2days sales standards. Im just so happy this will not be lowest selling album everr in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fak Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Dance music is not about being gay or straight. Its just music. Im pretty much sure that most gay men would probably love non-dance artists such as Beyonce and Mariah. There have been some hugely successful dance singles released by pop and urban artists over the last 3 years. Dance music has been appreciated by many people other than gay. The fact that the US is ageist is well known, but both cyndi and Donna are pretty much unheard of outside the gay scene everywhere, not only in the US. Most people in the world arestraight too, we are a minority, so why should radio stations play gay dance music more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fak Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 800k? i doubt it - might sell 6k most each week upto xmas. between the concert and upcoming holiday sales, this album may very well surpass 750k-800k when all is said and done! at least itll be better than AL!WAY better by 2days sales standards.

fak Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Madonna is a lot older than MC -we will see where MC will be at in 5 years. well, AL might've shot her in the foot, but look at Mariah. Glitter was commercial suicide as well but yet radio was ready to embrace her again come Emancipation Of Mimi, yet radio still refuses to forgive her for AL even tho AL did slightly sell more than Glitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nothingfails0603 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 regarding the old, long-standing "radio is ageist" argument. Explain why AC/DC's album sold more albums in one week than Katy Perry has all together with two smash hit singles? AC/DC is another example about why radio needs to stop counting old people out as "oldies touring artists" when they're selling more than artists radio is shoving down our throat... especially the "rock" groups like Panic At The Disco and the sort that is all over rock radio now.

I think the success of AD/DC has to do with the age of their fans. My father is 57 and a fan, so he buys the CD. He has not downloaded a thing in his life. Also, AC/DC fans waited for years for new stuff, they were hungry for it. I think it is totally normal that they are that successful right know.

HolidayGuy Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 ^I think fak meant *recently*- of course it chared there upon initial release. Joey, you said "re-cgarted"- YCT hasn't been anywhere near the BB 200 in recent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
