jameschen Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 From billboard,we can have a general idea that x&y now is two plantium.It means that x&y exceeds two milion,but I still don't know the exact figures. Anyone can tell me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jameschen Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 But I cannot see the clear stimulation to the sales :cry: :cry: I doubt whether this album can exceed 3 million in the end of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK8 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 doubt whether this album can exceed 3 million in the end of this year. Apparently it's already 6 million!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentleparachute Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Well, since it's only been out about 5 months and already sold 6 million (worldwide - sorry for hijacking your topic jameschen)... I think you can safely bet that it'll eventually surpass 10 million, especially with the correct marketing. Based on the fact that Parachutes and AROBTTH are still in the 100's charts, I predict X&Y will steadily sell for years to come since it is a pretty solid album and will probably attract new audience segments. I'm saying all of this based on pass experience with the BSB :o who sold >80 million albums despite their (some say mediocre) music :rolleyes: And don't worry about X&Y being classified a rock record... They've clearly crossed-over to take up the 'pop music' segment ala U2 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentleparachute Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!! Why did everybody ignore my reply?I mean the sales in US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the worldwide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know, but is there anyway to find out the sales numbers? I read somewhere that in the US, sales is reckoned according to how many copies have been shifted rather than the actual numbers sold. And the body that does that is the US Billboard 100. So as you said yourself, it's certified double platinum by the Billboard i.e. 2 million copies shipped so far...

jameschen Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Sometimes soundscan sales is different to the certification of RIAA,because RIAA makes the certification when the copies ship to the stores not the copies which have been sold. In fact,the album always takes very long time to achieve the certification of RIAA giving. Such as Celine Dion<Fallin' into you>have achieved 11 plantium,but it is still a lont way to match this certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
