That's the point. It was in the top 20 during that same time frame. I remember people running around with that same link from forum to forum saying it was one of the top sellers of 2008. It dropped more than fifteen spots on the same list.
I guess I didn't understand your point. I thought you were saying CD's total sales up to now was only 1.6 million when that chart only counted 2 months worth of sales.
It looked like CD was selling over 200,000 copies a week around the world pretty consistently in 2009 after that tally. They won't have the full 2009 tally until 2010.

I'm sorry, that must've been that other Axlin08.

The album was hyped as the most anticipated rock album ever made...
Most anticipated album for who? The guy who wrote that? The average person? I doubt it. I really don't know how much you were "realistically" expecting this album to sell from the get go. I just don't buy the theory that the world was waiting for the next Guns N' Roses album, so that equates it to being a failure.
I'm not getting into another "was it successful debate." No one wins. My thoughts are clear. I see it as a success. Especially in this musical climate and how it was rolled out and handled (including by Axl) since its conception.

We're closer to a tour happening than not happening. Sorry that irks you.
At least now when anyone says the band is still together your not calling them "delusional" or an "Axlite." And that was way better when you were so certain a reunion was happening and anyone who disagreed with you was WRONG

He'd just have to stretch that Asia tour out a little bit.
#10899 Re: Guns N' Roses » Prob no Brain on tour » 893 weeks ago
You guys said the same thing about there being another tour...

At this point, who would care if BB sold off all their copies of CD for $3? I don't see that having any real effect other than clearing storage space. Maybe that's a good move, buy 2 for the price of one 
I just don't see uni giving a shit about BB.
And I think that 2nd album will happen sooner than people think.
