is the 39k first weeks sales for the u.s. or worldwide? cuz if it's the u.s. that's actually not bad at all in today's non-cd-buying world.

A lot of bands aren't getting that high CD sales anymore. SBM sales are probably pretty low, but I would not say they're bad sales.

Also Sum 41 has one more record with IR. SBM isn't the last one guys.

And for who said "no one wants to admit that they're not the same band anymore", everyone knows it: in 2006 someone left the band so how could they be the same? Now they've a new lineup and you can like it or not; i like it.

I agree

Well, even if they do have one more album in the contract with IR.. it might as well be a live album or something, and I bet that for the SBM tour they'll have new live CD/DVD cuz every tour for now except the UH tour had some kind of either live CD or DVD following it (AKNF - ItD/Live @Astoria, DTLI - Sake Bombs, Chuck - GCY/HLS, UH - nothing!).

If I remember right Wiki said sth like IR took an option to renew their contract because UH sold quite well, about/over 1 Mil.
So I guess SBM is quite a flop, if you don't bother about the pathectic promoting.

Yes i rember that too; SBM is a great flop but without any promotion i think it's normal : if half of the people that saw them live in this last year bought the album it would have been a success, but people nowadays prefer to dowload music illegally.

As a little contrast Wasting Light sold 250 000 copies its first week in the us alone and the new Rise Against record sold 85 000 its first week in the US.

and The Beatles sold 500 millions worldwide, the record sales also depend on the way the band promotes their album, where Sum 41 kinda fucked up the shows, no video is to be seen, so fuck it, they obviously don't give a fuck, label doesn't give a fuck as well, this record looks like it was never supposed to sell ...

IR don't need Sum 41's sales, they have a lot of shitty stuff in their notebook, and the shitty stuff sells the best these days, and they even do listen to what the label says, which means that they don't destroy half the things they come in contact with ...

I don't see a reason why IR should protest when Sum 41 decides to leave

fuck,Tom Delonge's modlife would promote them better XD but they wouldn't be able to release any physical CD's ...

you guys are all retards for villainizing island records. pretty sure none of us would have ever heard of the sums if they weren't signed by them in the first place. plus, if i was i.r. i'd be pretty pissed too. when a band puts out 3 albums in the first 4 years you have them signed and then waits that amount of time to put out ONE, i wouldn't exactly be thrilled. plus, the sums are kinda douches when it comes to dealing w/ the ir people, so i can see their frustration.

They're not frustrated as long as they have Justin.
