Chart Listings: Hits Daily Predicts 125-150k for No Doubt & Green Day albums

BETWEEN ROCK & A HARD PLACE: Green Day (Reprise) and No Doubt (Interscope) are expected to bow with 125-150k each, with their lead singles are doing just OK thus far in terms of sales and Top 40 airplay—195k for No Doubt's "Settle Down" and just 50k for Green Day's "Oh Love." Although the sales ceiling tends to be lower for albums from acts like these two and Linkin Park (whose latest album Living Things has sold 415k, while single "Burn It Down" is at 680k), the bigger bands make up for their limitations at retail via massive tour revenues. So notes HITS industry insider I.B. Bad in his latest, singles-focused column, posting tomorrow morning. (8/23a)

That would be nice. Plus I expect great longevity from No Doubt.

Gabriel_Spears

Nice numbers actually

STMG23

Sounds accurate.

Not if No Doubt releases "One More Summer" before the album drops.

And that's really good given their long hiatus and 'ok' single.

fortheloveofmusic

Wait when does the album come out

honey827

That sounds reasonable and a good starting point for both bands. We will see if they have longevity and can build momentum with other singles.

You know it. They should drop OMS now.

Nice sales.

it would be cool to see which band drops harder .. and which band will have more longevity

supaspaz

No Doubt's album is out already? I thought it was debuting in September.

I say under 100k for ND.

RihMark

I think No Doubt will do less.

ClashAndBurn

No Doubt's release will be overshadowed by Mumford & Sons, so they'll probably do just under the expected margin.

Cap10Planet

Mumford & Sons will probably top 300k. I wouldn't be surprised at a 500k bow.
