How does Evanescence keep up their sales (a +15% boost at that) when CMWYS is completely done, and Lithium is tanking?

That's never been a problem.
Seriously, when Going Under flopped I thought Fallen was done but that didn't happen, they kept on selling like crazy.
I never could understand that.

^it´s easy, first: it´s a great album, second: it´s a metal album, metalfans buy albums not singles...metalbands doesn´t rely so much on singles...but "bring me to life" helped them break....that´s the only thing that was needed to make people recognise them.

I'm not saying that I expect their sales to plummet
But to increase +15% for no reason, it's just an odd chart run.

And "Fallen" kept selling because while Going Under went top 5 on Alternative, BMTL was still doing wonders on Pop and AC.

well it´s a bit odd, but it happens...and after all, these sales are just estimates...for example if you look at mediatraffic (which don´t are perfect either , i know) they did like 3-4 % better this week to previous week...

Everyone's sales seem to be slow now...
Xtina and some other sales will boost next week because of Grammy...

^certainly hope so...should boost a little this week too hopefully

I think Lithium has just started being played on Europe and Latin America, it might be a reason.

^lithium is old in europe, of course , it differs how fast it gains and being played in different countries....but in sweden it´s totally old, and i think that it is in most countries here

I didn't know that... how was Lithium on Swedish Charts? Have it done well?

it was played alot on tv, but it failed totally at the charts ....btw, BMTL is the 6th most sucessful single ever in sweden, and #1 when it comes to foreign singles!!...that is quite

here in italy "lithium" has just debuted on the single chart at number #3!"the open door" is out of the top 50!

good Evenescence Rocks,

what most ppl don't ever understand is that NOT everyone buys albums because of the single performances. It's retarded. It's like a crazy Xtina fan saying I'm not buying B2B because ANOM only went to #6 when it should've gone #1. Makes no sense whatsoever. People need to know that yes the single choices do influence the album performance, but there are some people who buy the album because they are true fans.

YAY NELLY ALMOST 4 MILLION!!!

See. Your point was very valid until that last part.

It's very well established that album sales work in 2 ways.
1) The "fanbase" rush which gives the first weeks high debuts
2) Any sales after that are sustained by single (success) and relentless touring

If you don't think thats true - how do you explain bands with openings of over 100-150k, who barely make it over 500k total?

Multipliers for album sales are based on singles success.

"True fans" buy the album in the first few weeks. Not 20 weeks later.

wow fs/ls is doin so well!

it´s interesting to see the differences in demographics here, like that beyonce selling half of xtinas sales in europe (ok, i know xtina is bigger in europe, but 600k isn´t that much for bee), but is so much bigger in africa,asia and oceania!..wonder why?

and you are jumping at me why.......jesus it's just what i think. i didn't want a research paper. you are right true fans go and buy the album the first week, and i also said that single choice does affect the album performance, BUT true fans continue to buy the album. Example I love Gwen Stefani and I didn't buy her album until after Christmas.

I'm not JUMPING at you.
But I'm responding to your comment about how "people dont understand its not all about singles", which I could say is a "jump" at me if you want to get literal.

People who buy an album weeks or months after it's release may have liked the artist before, but probably became fans since they liked the singles they heard on radio (and they heard them because the songs were successfull).
