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.

Word of mouth is the biggest promotion for an album. A heck of a lot of people read professional reviews and customer reviews before buying something, or hear about it straight from one of their friends. If SFBM was universally praised, it definitely would be selling at a faster pace.

good point. my friends know i'm a big live fan and when they ask me about SFBM, all i can really say is that it has grown on me. it is not an album that i can tell them they just HAVE to hear, unless of course they are as big of a live fan. i have found most casual rock fans don't like SFBM at all. hell, i can't even get my friends that like pop that into this album. WTF

I don't even let my friends listen to SFBM. They might slap me or kick me in the groin. Lol, who knows? I do know that SFBM isn't a good album. My friend is really into TDTH since I gave it her for her birthday. so... rockin.gif
