Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

When do the US sales numbers come out for the first week? I saw UK was yesterday...

Tomorrow, I believe.

after 46% reporting, it has moved nearly 107K. Could get 200k + the first week!

I wouldn't read too much into that. Sales aren't even across the board...for example, if most of the 54% of unreported vendors were Walmart stores, that wouldn't help Pearl Jam's figures much at all.

Put another way, when it was 31% reporting their numbers were something like 20k. So it's non-interpretable.

This is RM. There is no such thing as non-interpretable.

I get it, so it may not include the 10C presales, so it may hit 300k.

So 169,687 copies, according to HDD. It sometimes fluxuates in very minor ways, from their initial call, but there you have it.

It's a decent enough showing, for this day and age, but it'll take something notable for this album to go gold.

That's cool. You know that host had been bugging his producers to do this bit. Good on him.

Seriously, one of them mentions how they fight and are "getting better at communicating" in every interview for the past 15 years. How bad was it to begin with? Jeez.

[Norah]

Well Jeff was ready to quit during the No Code sessions.

[bodysnatcher]

I know, but come on, just smoke some weed together

[stupidmop]

Maybe they got better at communicating verbally and are now trying to get better at communicating telepathically.

Or maybe they all hate each other still.

I'm glad they're better at internal communication but they're still pretty bad at communicating publicly via the media.

They have a new spokesperson though. All they have to do between tours is write a few bits of music.
