coldpatrix Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The first week will be bad, 'cause it will count only the sales in Japan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 First REAL week: 650k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Revok Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 we are living in an age where somebody like lil wayne can sell almost a million copies with an album with songs like this [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Gf4-eT3w0&ob=av2e]Lil Wayne - How To Love (Shazam Version) - YouTube[/ame] so, an album with songs like Etiaw, Paradise and Poc will sell billions, unfortunately.

Nature Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 They will sell much via iTunes. But i think when all the people heard this album,it will shock them because the overproducing of the songs. And they will sell less with LP6 for sure.

Connor!42! Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 One thing is that this album will appeal to many more people than their other four albums did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nature Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Surprisingly I like it: http://coldplaying.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5034445&postcount=169 Okay that was an intresting read. i agree with ya that it's better then most of the other mainstream music. Maybe the album really has to take time to grow on me,but for now it doesnt strike me much. Songs like:HLH,UIF,ETIAW, are great tunes. But why is UWTB the only real Coldplay song on this album? that's what i think Do ya really like this more then VLV? intresting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Coldplay tweeted that the album pre-sales surged yesterday (for some reason or other, hmmm :thinking: :P) so I think this will be their biggest opening week. Especially if some Rihanna die hards buy the whole thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldpatrix Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The very first week will be bad guy, because the charts are updated on Friday and they consider and the sells from Friday to Friday. So it means that about this week only the Japanese sales will be counted for the first week of Mylo Xyloto chart presence. I think more or less 120k copies...

But if they want experimental, concept album, why not? I don't like when people give marks to albums, it can't be measured that way. I like VLV, but I listen it less than other albums. Maybe in a month the same would be with MX. I don't know. I also prefer Prospect March and instrumental unreleased songs to Viva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liu273420683 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 i think it will be their biggest opening week. for last album, they sold 350k in uk and japan in the 1st week. and the second week was about 1600k. i think the first week will be 1800k something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42rock89 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I can say that this is going to be their biggest selling week ever, will sell at least 400,000 in the UK, perhaps beating the X&Y record and will sell more than 700k in the US which was for Viva I think. It will be received to massive sales and will sell more than Viva (mainly because of the post album promotion, Lost! didn't do well at all but with PoC then Charlie Brown possibly after the album will sell tons in the long run too, remember Clocks became big around 9 months after release of AROBTTH.

Samuel_94 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 It will be interesting to see and compare with the previous four albums as I dont have any experience of first week album sales! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading a lot of your posts, I think it's your own mindset that is the problem. Comments like saying "real coldplay" proves it. This is as "real" as Coldplay ever have been and ever will. Using synths and hip hop bass/drum beats doesn't make this not "real". It's the artistic direction the boys want to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the artistic direction the boys want to take. i completely disagree with ya (ya you exspected it) but Coldplay had there own unique call it 'Melodramatic' sound in there music a sound no other band has,hard to explain but 'Melodramatic' is the right term i think for it. Now they lost that completely,it's more hollow/math It's become a sound a total diffrent part of society will love,but i do less. I dont listen to MX now,it's already becoming somekind of boring.

TwistedPolitik Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 600k-700k I expect it to have sold around 3million by the end of the year, it could reach 10million but not as fast as earlier Coldplay albums imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackplay Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 For the US chart, the first week (from Oct 24 to Oct 30), the sales will be huge. Anything under 700K will be a disappointment. Expectations are high and the album rollout is enormous. They can easily get 1 million. We'll get the first estimates on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
