26k units…jeez things really have changed….1000 points of light
back in 1987, 26,000 would be #106 on the charts. 🙂
No kidding. As recently as 1995, you could sell 200K in week one and barely crack the top 10. These days, you sell 200K and it’s a blockbuster.
Fleetwood Mac in ’77 was selling that every single day for months. Sad stuff in ’14.
In ’77 a bad disco record with 2 days of recording did 50,000 and was considered a label dropping number.
Saw BLS last night. Man, did they rock that place. Never ending groove! \MMM/
