With shows and a target audience like The Hills, Laguna Beach etc MTV has little desire for GnR.  There isn't much demand from a audience of big sunglassed, flip-flop youth.  MTV alone plays very little video's & their sister channels mostly leaves for rap. VH1 classic was mentioned, and Fuse. That isn't going to sell 2 million records.

To be fair, I think the OP was asking will GnR's first album have alot of sales out of curiousity, then the second one slip due to lessened interest. I think we all know it's useless right now to talk about GnR's 2nd album, when CD isn't in sight.  If CD ever comes out, I think it'd sell similar to Linkin Parks last release sales-wise. I don't know exactly what it sold but I'd guess CD about 500,000-800,000. Maybe 1 mil.

I don't think changing the statistics for Gold, Platinum etc will be done. Instead tracking of (legal) downloads will be kept (1 million downloads etc)

Yeah, I have to admit I thought the Giants would tank it this year. A lame duck coach, young QB, veterans who are outspoken. It really could have gone either way. But they all stepped it up this year & fight. Also credit goes out to the coach for loosening it up a little this year & joking around with the players a little more. Not many people adapt like that, I always pictured Coughlin as pretty stubborn & a "My way or the Highway" type of guy.

I would see The Beatles being more like Zeppelin and Page & Plant than The Rolling Stones. I don't think the Beatles would tour every 3 years charging $200/ticket. I think they might have toured once in the late 80's, and possibly again recently. Maybe a new album, like The Eagles, nothing earthshattering.

I think Lennon's solo work might have sounded a little bit like Phil Collins & Peter Gabriels 80's stuff (Sledgehammer, Air of the Night). Not exactly like that, but along those lines. Lennon probably would have done a solo acoustic album as well, a la Johnny Cash & Neil Diamond.

All speculation though, who knows.

Yeah reality TV has drama that is written or at least suggested by writers, they are credited as "Assistant Producers" or something. I know you watched it a bit but DTJ didn't The Two Coreys seem really scripted?! I saw 1 or 2 episodes & loked kinda fake.

Anyway, this would definitely impact February ratings. I wonder if Lost & 24 is affected? They don't start until January so I guess nothing is even written yet, yet alone filmed.

Me too, so far I think I got 31 points wrong. Cinci & Seattle losing killed me! 20+ points on those 2 games alone.
