SFBM dropped to #79 on the US Billboard charts this week. The album sold 13,600+ copies, which was only a 24 percent drop from last week's 18,006. Overall 31,000 + copies sold over the counter, and digital downloads 8-10,000 more. Album is holding pretty steady and the upcoming tour can only help.

I really hope management allows the band to sell the album at upcoming shows. It could be a real boost to sales.

With almost no current US promotion, hit single, TV spot or US concert I can see why the sales are what they are. I did think the AI performance would have a bigger impact though. I could care less about the sales as long as it doesn't discourage them from continuing to make music but I do miss the TV spots like SNL and actually seeing their videos on TV.

The sales are probably much higher in Europe. These are just US figures.
