tomdsjames Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Just to back up what I said previously about RevRad holding better than Uno, official UK charts for this week have it at Number 6, so it's actually climbed since midweek. 😉 Uno dropped to number 9 in it's second week. Link Edit: second week sales in the UK of 7,950 copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if copies sold in the UK are 8k, then the sales in the US should be much more than predicted on http://hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming which is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of Sales + Streams (http://hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming), they're at No. 11 with 19,810. I hope they at least get in the top 10 of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedundantIdiot Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 With regard to the streaming services, there will always be people who will want to listen to albums for nothing on Spotify, YouTube, etc, but I think with a band like Green Day who have been around for a long time (before Spotify, etc existed), fans are more inclined to buy GD albums as CD's so that they can add it to their large Green Day CD collection. If hardcore fans have all previous Green Day albums on CD... of course they will go out and get Rev Rad as a CD as they wouldn't want it missing from their collection. Buying an album on CD is like having a ''piece of the band'' and its exciting to go out and buy the album from the record store- it wouldn't be anywhere near as fun listening to it for nothing on Spotify. How much airplay are the songs from Rev Rad getting on the radio in the UK? Has anyone seen the Bang Bang video on a music channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere Man Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not bad and I think if they release Still Breathing as an official single with the music video it should climb back to TOP7 or maybe even TOP5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went down almost 80% It is still doing really well. The music industry has dramatically changed, so much that there is talk of changing the requirements for gold and platinum. The number 1 album this week looks like it will be significantly lower than Rev rad was and the number 2 looks like around 25k. So not much more than Rev rad. The industry is pretty flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeldachick14 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Fucking MTV and Billboard said that green day would never get an album in the top 20 again. But damn were they wrong. Because revolution radio is freaking #1! Green day is capable of anything and everything, I'll never understand why people underestimate them.

MikeDirntConfused Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 GD is an old band, and the younger generation probably don't think they can relate to people in their mid 40s; I can predict the same trend for a new Metallica and AC/DC album. Foo Fighter seems to be the exception, though. Dave Grohl changes things up, is friends with celebrities, appears on TV in between albums, and I guess their genre is more "universal" to rock fans.

Chin for a Day Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I agree about your assessment that for the most part the younger generation does not relate to bands in their 40's, but disagree with your assessment of the Foo Fighters. They are in the exact same category as every other band in their 40's. As a matter of fact, they have never had an album sell over 2M copies and Sonic Highways only sold around 600K and that was 2 years ago. I have teens and they could care less about the Foos, GD and every other rock style band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariana Briceño Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi! Delurking to give my 2 cents: Yes, industry changed a lot. Streaming and YouTube views help increase billboard positions and first week sales are always hardcore fans. And 100.000 on pure albums sales show that. What is really gonna help RevRad sales is a hit single. Well, any album needs a Big hit or even minors hits but constant radioplay, o streams for It to keep the álbum on the public eye and for casual buyers. You cant compare Adele's 25 álbum, that sold 8 millions in the US alone and have a billion views single on YouTube to RevRad. If you wanna compare to any album, maybe Red Hot Chili Peppers "the Getaway" would be a better choice. Rock band and 100.000 albums sales on first week. I personally believe RedRad is great album and if sales dont reflect that It doesnt matter, as long as they tour cuz thats where they make the Big bucks. That makes them happy, makes labels happy and makes us fans really happy that our Heros are alive and still doing what they love. Thanks for your attention.

Fuzz Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Damn, I'm sad it dropped so much. Still hopeful that once the new music video comes out it'll help pick it back up a bit. I'd like to see it stay in the top 10 for a while. We know that promotions can have a big impact on sales and right now they're touring, not on TV and radio across the country.
