Jane's chart competition on October 18th

[JOEinPHX]

I think the labels are paying to keep bands on the charts.

oh, what an original presumption! I think many labels have not even though about it yet! Let me just activate my morse apparatus and broadcast such novel conspiracy theory!!

i wasn't trying to break any ground, the "i think" was more sarcasm. It's a fact that shit songs by big bands will get support until they bring in enough money to support their existence.

IF is #11 on the Edge 102.1 top 30

Wow, look at Matthew Good hanging tough at #21. Good for him; American audiences should be priviledged to hear such well-meaning musicians.

That Bush album isn't bad either...if you're into that sort of thing

It's a Canadian station. American audiences aren't hearing shit from that guy.

[NYRexall]

Hmm, my mistake. For some reason I read it as a California station.

That's pretty sad then that the RHCP is so high up on that list.

They ARE the people that spawned crap like Rush and Nickelback.

[NYRexall]

Okay, but the U.S. doesn't have a leg to stand on there because those two bands (for lack of a better word in Nickelback's case) routinely sell out arenas when they tour the Americas. Plus, for every shit band Canada spawns, they're usually good for about 10 decent ones at the same time.

Turn on the radio in the U.S., and 95% of it comes from our homeland and about 90% is fucking garbage.

I need some clarification on your post. Are you saying that RHCP spawned Rush?

Rush has been around since the 70s.

I thought that too. He meant Canada.

ok thanks. that makes more sense. i reread the previous posts.

[Larry B.]

The Canadian Government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions.

[JOEinPHX]

There is nothing wrong with Bryan Adams.

going on amazon presale ranks so far...it's not even close. jane's is way ahead.

jane's: Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #185 in Music
shelby lynne: Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #1,031 in Music
m83: Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #1,069 in Music
noel gallagher: Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #3,382 in Music

jane's is up to #93 on amazon. that is pretty impressive for an album that isn't out for two weeks. maybe this will have decent sales??

[fuff]

Actually, # 94 specifically in the rock category of Amazon's music section. #180 in overall music

oh...guess i read that wrong.

[Pandemonium]

I think the album will do respectable sales the first week. I'm predicting about 15 thousand cds first week sales.

That's not respectable.

Didn't Dave's solo CD sell almost 11 thousand?

If Jane's does 15 thousand they should break up.

That was 2001 15000 now is like 75000 in 2001

No it's not. Album sales are like 50% of they were in 2001, not 15%

So Jane's should do 50-60,000.

[Hokahey]

I'll be shocked if they come in under 50K.

I stand by my prediction of #1 rock album released. #3 At worst overall. We sell this band short because they've let us down.

I think they are totally capable of #1

I think they are capable of 150,000 albums sold the first week.

I just don't think Irresistible Force is the single that is going to do it in today's mediocre buttrock climate.

Maybe if they had another straight rocker like Just Because tearing up the charts, but the space banging song seems a little over the heads of the typical Godsmack/Nickelback listening public who only buy records if they "rawk"

[Larry B.]

rock is dead, btw.

[JOEinPHX]

rock is dead, btw.

i largely agree.

It will be back though. Someone good will come along eventually and change things. It's always been a cycle.
