Kk so Underclass hero, as ausome as it is hasnt exactly sold like hot cakes. 45,000 in US, 9000 in Canada, and 10,000 online, all together thats still less than Chuck sold in the US in its 1st week (65,000)

But as a whole the music industry isn't selling as well as it used to. I bet it was one of the most downloaded albums the past week or so.

yup ^^
things have changed since chuck was released.
most people are downloading music now instead of buying cd's.
ill pick the cd any day though

no bands sell records like bands did 10 or 15 years ago.
I think those sales are pretty good, and the sales for Europe hasnt been announced yet (at least what i know)

Well Jesus it was the number one cd sold in both Canada and Japan the first week so why complain?! 65,000 in Japan is impressive in my opinion.

Yeah, it sold 65 000 in Japan. I don't think it's them, I think it's how the music industry is going right now.

Everyone .. well not EVERYONE but downloading music has seriously effected CD sales globally not just Sum 41,
I have downloaded the album also but i also purchased it online but its been almost 2 weeks and still is not here :(

That is bad but I mean who really cares if critics and stuff dont like it the still have alot of fans and stuff.

MissWhibley · Post by **MissWhibley** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 10:49 pm

yeah i agree and im happy they dont, becuz bands who r too popular grow on kids bands, like my chemical romance, or billy talent, take a look in the newest bravo and u will find them. i dont want that for sum 41!

CD sales have dropped 15% in the past year. Thats insane!

Digital sales have obviously risen, but its hard to make alot of profit off of it because its sooo cheap.
