Seeing how the Tour starts soon, will be interesting to see how/if it affects sales.

4.5 Million is good enough (in fact more than enough) for an album that had received a lot of negative feedback from the critics. (and I'm not one of them for sure... I definitely love the album^^). In the meantime, I'm looking forward to their MXtour to further boost the sales as you said. yeah baby, " I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song" I know... "good things will come in our way." And for those who lost their patience because of the lack of promotion for Charlie Brown or the rest of the album for the past two months or because of the lack of news or the hunger for an MX EP, "pour some water on":lol:

If you're talking about professional critics, I'd say the album (in the words of metacritic) has recieved mixed to positive reviews. It certainly wasn't slagged as much as X and Y was when it came out.

Interested to see how much (or if it all) MX will jump on the Canadian Charts after their first 4 tour dates.

 

(Currently, MX is #35 on the Canadian Charts)

yeah. I agree,

Missed the updates for the past two weeks, but updated now.

 

It was #65 in the US this past week, will be interesting to see how much American Idol bumps it up.

 

On the Canadian Charts it jumped from #37-#22 after their 4 shows in Canada. Nice jump. It's back down to where it previously was now.

Out of interest where do you get the figures from? And what does Semana mean?

 

Might be a bit geeky but sales figures are fascinating!

The poster before me who quoted the sales used 'semana', basically meaning 'week'. When I started to post the sales updates, I used the same format.

 

The site I use is http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm

 

Mind you, that these are estimates as there are no 'official' worldwide album charts. It's the best site out there. There is one more, called musiccharts, but they tend to overestimate sales.

 

Nothing geeky about it, I like following sales as well!

According to HDD, the US sales this week are: 9,037 (Up 45% from last week)

 

That puts them at #48. Last week they were #65. So that boost basically came from American Idol.

The real story there is how much music sales have fallen to put a number that low at #48.:\

Chart Moves: Coldplay's 'American Idol' Gain

 

Coldplay: The band's first visit to "American Idol" (May 3) helps generate a 34% increase in sales for its album "Mylo Xyloto." The set, which was released last year, jumps 65-49 on the chart, selling 9,000 copies. The group was in Los Angeles (where "Idol" is filmed) for a three-show stand at the Hollywood Bowl (May 1, 2 and 4).

Now lets wait for the Boxscores concerts numbers!!

 

if the rumours are correct, 50.000 plp in Porto and 50.000 plp in Madrid (or 53.000 if they count with duplicated tickets).

"Semana" means Week in Portuguese. Lol

 

 

I started to post the sales numbers and The Red Army continued using my posts (thanks dude!!). And as a brazilian guy, I started it in my language. Sorry :laugh3:

If you're talking about the numbers from Billboard, they're notoriously inaccurate. They often publish numbers which don't take into account venue configuration or comp tickets.

After the show in Madrid,

- close to 5 mill now

- in Canada, just 2 days ago, got certified as 3X Platinum

- currently, due to the MX Tour in England, MX is #5 on iTunes (PoC is #6)

Why were the sales small in the first week but then huge in the second week?

Why were the sales small in the first week but then huge in the second week?

 

I think it's because the album was released mid-week ??

 

If i remember correctly.... lol

Why were the sales small in the first week but then huge in the second week?

 

The album was released a few days earlier in Japan. The first week numbers are representative of Japanese sales.
