Damnation has actually shipped more copies than Deliverance...

[Maideneer]

By about 4,300 copies here in the US. And BWP has shipped about 4,000 more than Damnation. You do the math.

BWP 2CD has shipped about 4,300 total!

Just a bit of info I thought was interesting.

I can't get SoundScans, but I'll try. Cool beans!

that's why opeth tour USA before europe.

i "hate" you for this...

Nice avatar Maiden dude, but I don't understand your post. Whats so funny about BWP selling 4,300 copies?

 

[Alex78]

[Smitty]

Holy fucking shit.... i didn't think Opeth were "that" underground....


motherfucking Nile sold about 60,000 copies of their newest release......

And BWP has shipped about 4,000 more than Damnation.

 

[The Evil Toucan]

I thought BWP has sold over 100,000 copies

 

[ggggggu]

DAMNATION HAS SHIPPED 4300 COPIES MORE THAN DELIVERANCE AND BWP HAS SHIPPED ABOUT 4000 COPIES MORE THAN DAMNATION.

Wow, could BWP2 be some sort of a rarity? I'm glad I own it... Still Day Beneath The Sun and Patterns In The Ivy II are GREAT songs. The Harvest video is pretty cool.

I left the BWP2 artwork beneath a pile of books, and now it's a bit scruffy. Probably lost a lot of its potential value.

I see it in stores a lot for something so limited. Or maybe it's the same 3 copies I saw and no one ever bought them

 

[MasterOLightning]

Anyone have any idea what TOTAL US sales are?

 

[fadingessence]

the big letters were for the unobservant fellow up there that for some reason though opeth only sold 4000 copies of something...

Damnation was their first album to make the billboard charts here at #192, so i'd say it's selling quite well.

 

[Light]

4000 copies isn't very many...

 

[Black Dragon]

Opeth have sold well over 100,000 altogether....and that was after BWP was released so I imagine that they have sold more then some people might think.

Heh, ouch. The very day I bought Damnation, I left it in my truck, and I came back and SAT ON IT. I was like "Damnit!", and my friend there was like "Oh no, you broke a piece of plastic." "No, you don't understand."

Anyway, I keep my BWP2 in the cool black sleeve it comes with - I'm so anal about my CDs.

We need totals, not just how much MORE they sold.
