albums sales

worldwide, I'd say it's probably closer to 12 million records. The Belladonna stuff was 8 million worldwide, but they did well around the glode with the John Bush era as well. Just not great in the U.S.
 
Awhile back I remember Wu stated in an interview that "Europe leads the way" For metal, and hardcore bands. I now agree with this statement. So many of us Americans (not anyone here mind you, were all to cool) buy whatever crap is on the radio and MTv. The europeans and the japs seam to seek out different types of music while we are content with the same corporate drivell. Thats why in my opinion an album as good as WCFYA didnt sell great here in the states.
