Nikki_Nimrod Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 How can Maxwell have 750,000 copies, and be up with the 'best selling' and yet, Green Day have sold the same, and are being told they bombed?Anyway, they still debuted at number 1, and have like... the best album of the year, so... whoever wrote that can suck it. This! That list is screwed up, and it's unfair to compare something that's only been out a few months to albums that have been out much longer. Still, the album itself is beyond amazing. All this shows is that the mainstream doesn't appreciate good music! But at least the fans like everyone here does, which is what matters most
Chad is Rad Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 lol when they say 21CB 'bombed' clearly they are talking about mainstream music, and when you see artists like Miley Cyrus selling millions and managing to appeal to the mainstream... Well it's not an insult to Green Day's work, rather a reflection of how fucking stupid the mainstream can be. It's definitely going downhill anyway along with people's intellectual willingness to engage with music rather than swallow up the shit thrown at them. That's my own personal rant anyway. As long as the fans appreciate good music then nothing else matters.I agree with the above statement, word for word.
*Green_girl* Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 actually green day and u2 are kind of the only rock bands selling big numbers of reccord if you take a look at that list,, the problem is that people dont listen to rock music as much as they did before , of course they are going to get outsold but, they still are one of the dominant rock bands of our time, no need to panick here
dolce Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I'm proud of them regardless of how many copies they sold. 750,000 isn't a bad number at all, though. LOL, how many records has Perez Hilton sold this year???

Well I have no idea who Maxwell is/are so maybe they're a new (or newly signed) band/artist and that's why he thinks it's great that they sold that many, whereas Green Day have been around for ages and yada yada so that amount isn't good for them, in his eyes...compared to AI maybe...That¡s USA only.Oh! That's pretty damn good then.
Soroush Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I'm sure after vma and european tour and next singles their sales will be 3 times more than that. they will end in top 5. I'm sure about that
DarrenDookie Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Well if its sold 750,000 in the US, i'd imagine its sold well over 1 million worldwide. So as far as im concerned thats great for 5 months. And with at least 2 more singles and the european tour, theyre gonna sell even more
Lauren Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 GD didn't even hit 1 mil yet? wow. i thought for sure this album wouldn't flop. (well, not flop but it's not doing that great...)
Brandon R. Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I'm not too worried about it. The state of the music industry here in the U.S. sucks ass.Think about it. Artists (?) like T-Pain and Lil' Wayne are at the top of the charts constantly.People don't listen to good shit anymore.
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 No one that i know at school even fuckin KNOWS green day released a new album.
Brandon R. Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 No one that i know at school even fuckin KNOWS green day released a new album.That's lame. :down:
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 That's lame. :down:L.A's brainwashed by rappers.
Brandon R. Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 L.A's brainwashed by rappers.I know.Doesn't it suck here?
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I know.Doesn't it suck here?Lol you're from here? Oh yeah. dunno why people wanna move here.
Lauren Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 No one that i know at school even fuckin KNOWS green day released a new album.exactly!well a few have heard KYE and told me it sucks. lol. but that's like 3 people. no one has mentioned 21 guns.
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 exactly!well a few have heard KYE and told me it sucks. lol. but that's like 3 people. no one has mentioned 21 guns.Oh people know KYE,and even the people that hate Green day told me thats about the coolest song they've had. But that thats the only song they like. I only know one girl besides my best buds who knows 21 guns. because she has it in her myspace playlist.
JHyena86 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Ya know, that list is sorta unfair. GDs album came out after a few of those. It didn't have enough time to sell that many...Like how Eminem beat them on the charts when his album came out...his was out for a week, theirs was out for 3 days...and they judged them the same.

I love GD and I love Eminem. So to have two awesome albums drop almost at once was great.But you're right. I remember looking at the charts after that and it was definitely skewed.

Tubbie Head Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I think this is all good.. Means that teenies aren't still too much obsessed with them this year Less teenies, more happiness for me lolI don't pay attention to charts or anything like that.. I don't really care.. If they are on the top, it's good.. But If they aren't, I couldn't care less =)
