Sales figures for an album need to be observed not simply as an overall total number, but instead need to be viewed as sales in relationship to 2 things: 1. what the record company was expecting, and 2. sales as a percentage of the total number of copies that were released for sale. I am told by those in-the-know that sales of "Room Noises" is in line with record company expectations. This is good! and that the total number sold so far is already approaching the total that were originally released for sale....somewhere around 80% of the copies have been sold already, which is also very good! This is exciting to all the parties involved, and will direct the promotional strategies in the near future as WB begins to "push" Room Noises stronger into the market. However, when viewed simply as a total number, the sales figures are rather small. Compared to other albums on the Billboard album chart, sales are very small. This is why nobody wants to quote the actual numbers, because it gives the false impression that the powers-that-be are unhappy or that the album is selling poorly. To date, the "Laughing City EP" and "Marvelous Things EP" have both outsold "Room Noises". Granted, those EP's have been in stores for 2 years, and 1.5 years respectively, and Room Noises has only been in stores 7 weeks! But the sales numbers are pretty small at this point. Everything is good...hopefully WB will do their job and get some airplay for this wonderful album! |

500,000 = Gold 1,000,000 = Platinum triple platinum? uhh...i don't think were quite there yet! so tell every single person you know to go out and buy it! or just go buy it yourself and give it out, like Kim said! RECOMMENDATION: Do NOT go find a Billboard magazine and see the albums in the Top200 album chart that are outselling "Room Noises".... you'll just get really sad and bummed out.....and question whether the people in your home country have any sanity left..... |

Room Noises has outsold both EPs individually, but not combined. I believe combined, Laughing City and Marvelous Things have sold around 30,000 copies. Last I heard, Room Noises is up in the low 20,000s. Which is awesome. _________________ |
