I know.. Actually i was saying it as an acomplishment. People don't see anymore artists as a whole , they just download the current single or whatever ..

But beeing one of the few people who can actually sell albums in this digitalized-singles era its quite amazing.

I hope they do that too

. Though as long as they have a hit (a la viva la vida , speed of sound type of way ) they will be slayin the competition

It's mainly because the majority of people who buy albums are fans of rock music. People 20+, I'd say.
If you look at album charts, there are a lot of rock albums, but only a few pop albums. Pop music fans buy singles. (which is why VLV sold 5 million...)

Yup , basically that . I think its mainly because people see rock artists as a whole artists , and they usually go to buy their "whole" piece of work (instead of buying just one single ) . So for this artists who only sell singles , it takes them a while to start selling albums . Example , again rihanna .. after 4 albums ( who had lots of succsessful singles ) she just started selling album with her leatest ( just because she builded a fan base after all of these ) . But again , almost all of pop acts fade away after a couple of albums

Its also releated to the audience the band/artist is targeting. Older people buy albums , teenagers buy singles.

VLV sold 9 million so far didn't it? I rarely buy singles and only really buy albums. When Violet Hill came out I didn't even download the free version and waited the near month and a half before the new album came out.

Juanma · 29-01-2011, 01:07 AM

I mean , of course its impressive to sell 50 million of both , or albums or singles or both . Its quite an impressibe achivement that is way to hard to surpass ( thought there are quite a few artists that have done that ) but what i was saying is that , now a days its easier to sell singles than albums .

For example Rihanna. Rihanna has sold like 70 million records . 50 million of those are coming from single sales , and 20 million from albums . (rihanna has released 5 albums + re releases etc in her career )

i find it hilarious that coldplay are the ones who actually continue to amass album sales instead of single ones

oh i also kinda read that as 50 million albums.

also we gotta remember it costs $1 to buy a single these days. before u had to buy the physical single CD with b-sides on it, usually costing 4 or 5 bucks.

Ya , that's what i say that i find it hilarious that coldplay continue to sell albums instead of singles .

Its kinda sad that singles are so low tbh . People buy only singles , and you see artsits like rihanna who sold over 70million records , and those are 50 singles and 20 albums

Plus the fact that the singles only cost 1 dollar makes it more afordable , makes that lots of records , previously held by the beatles for example , Elvis , and other artists are beeing broken because of that.

So now , you see that Glee has more entries on the United World Chart and Billboard Hot 100 than The beatles , because of digital downloads. Or Ke$ha debuting at number one on charts , breaking records by michael jackson ( which back in the day to debut at number one was ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE , now its more common ) and things of that order

Black Rose · 29-01-2011, 10:15 PM

Albums are better than singles

Violet · 29-01-2011, 10:53 PM

^ Agreed.

Black Rose · 29-01-2011, 11:19 PM

Death is better than Lady GaGa

Italian Plastic · 29-01-2011, 11:24 PM

um, not agreed ^

Violet · 29-01-2011, 11:35 PM

-agrees with Eddie's disagreement-
