omrimayo Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 This is not a single, It's only available if you buy the whole album and still - 41-10 this week! It's unbeliveable... if this song was the first single insted of VH I think it were break all the records... AMAizing, with not radio airplay or something. I have a question... this sold 239.000 copies in 2 weeks in the us... that meens the album sold 239.000 too? cuz it can only be download if you buy the album... 250.000 only from pre-oreder in ITUNES? OMG if that's true... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42rock89 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Not many people know about VLV here but VH has been a big success and getting lots of radio play + top 10 in the charts for 3 weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyfu123 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 You can buy VLV without pre-ordering the whole album, btw. I don't understand why they made VH this lead single and didn't release it properly around the world. And, VLV is getting hotter, so PLZ shoot a video for it and release as a single!!!

ricardo Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I know!! that's why I am so astonished to see it in the top 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebrat Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 great news, but it's only jumped due to the AI promotion - people who didn't hear about it on iTunes found out about it via the ad - and I'm betting it'll drop even further next week with no extra promotion (unless they do a full video/physical release) as for the album, pre-orders will count for the opening week chart positions, so expect it to go #1 everywhere in the world with MASSIVE first-week sales - they're using a very dirty technique for this, but it's within the iTunes regulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva La Violet Hill Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 well because ppl are worried about the economy over here, album sales have dropped significantly over the past few months. even an album as highly anticipated as coldplay's won't sell as much as it would. that's why last year the two highest selling albums in the US were hannah montana and high school musical 2. in fact, this week the highly-anticipated album from 3 doors down only sold 154,000 copies. the next closest was some rapper i've never head of with 98,000. i would say 500,000+ at most and it would be by far the best-selling album over here in the states.
