Thanks, guys!!!

The crazy thing is seeing the number of units it's sold; it's really not all that much. A real sign of the times, y'know?

Like...half that.

Crazy, right?

Oh, FYI - the record's been out about two and a half weeks.

What's the deal with online sales? How do those sales scan? I imagine individual tunes aren't counted; are full-record downloads?

Great News. Its great news to see good things happen for a fellow slut, but also very cool when a creative band like that gets on the charts.

Congrats!!!!

Back in the day (1989) a band I mixed and was the 5th Beatle with had a Billboard Hit With a Bullet.
I think it topped out around #12 for a week or so.
It hung rather high for a month and we got A LOT of traction off of that months airplay.

The record sold 125K units in the initial "frenzy" and everyone was disappointed.

HALF of 15,00 units is..... 7000 units....
Times HAVE changed!!!!
