Is WCFYA selling slowly but surely up to the same sort of figure as V8 or has it stalled?

 

[SLAYER85]

sown has sold half a million goddamn copies? crazy

 

[max]

why are there 2 figures for SOWN and stomp? is that USA and europe?

SOWN has already sold 1 million- that is the re-issue figure.

 

[timmyc]

the 500 000 figure is the original release and the 8 000 is the reissue figure

i think

 

[max]

no no no SOWN did sell 1 million, i remember charlie said that in an interview.

 

[LOAroberto]

I think for Christmas I going to buy my brother and a couple friends W.C.F.Y.A.

Worldwide.

Those numbers are U.S. sales only.
Yes the smaller number signifies the recent reissue sales, and the larger number is the original issue.

 

[mrthrax]

i dont know when soundscan come in but it is possible that 1 million were shipped,soundscan figures are for actual copies sold.

it would have sold a million worldwide.

 

[Sgt-D]

Why does it cause pain when I read that WCFYA sold less than 50K?

Message to USA: WAKE THE FUCK UP! WCFYA RULES THE SHIT!!!

Also, per the RIAA website:

I'm The Man: Platinum (01/07/93)
Attack Of The Killer B's: Gold (11/07/91)

If SOWN went gold in July of 1993, it had to have sold a hell of a lot more by now than what the sludgescan says. RIGHT?

No shit. 10 years of idle is impossible.

.

Soundscan started in 1991.

As was posted, SOWN went Gold ~according to the RIAA~ in 7/93.
The RIAA measures by albums shipped, NOT sold.
The sludgescan numbers are for soundscan numbers which measure units sold.

That makes some sense a little I guess but it's still hard to believe that that many copies were sitting around collecting dust until they were purchased.

 

[max]

i swear there is an anti anthrax conspiracy in the world! less than 50k for WCFYA is just plain WRONG!! the guys must feel so depressed about this.

 

[Lordlindsey]

Fuck.
People need to purchase WCFYA.
They don't what they are missing.

 

[timmyc]

Any ways of finding out what numbers it has done in Europe???? I reakon it will be much brighter over there.

 

[dutchy]
