Ummm most of y'all probably are too focused on pop music but Rock has the most loyal fanbases ever. They do not reach the hot 100 songs but their albums sells like pancakes.
Let's say for example, Foo Fighters' Wasting Light sold 3 Million Copies worldwide
without a hit single.
Rope was their highest charting single in that album reaching number 68. Wasting Light outsold Femme Fatale, 4 and Talk That Talk in sales in which, Femme Fatale had 3 top 10 singles, Talk That Talk had a number 1 hit for 11 weeks. Amazing isn't it?
Alternative Band, Coldplay sold over 4 Million copies of Mylo Xyloto in 5 months. Rock/Alternative has a solid fanbase and if both were to be merged, the gap would even be bigger.
Rock always sells. And it has been like that for years.
