Who would have thought? The Beach Boys out-sold Lana Del Rey and Lil Wayne this week! All three hundred of us who purchased this really made a difference

Very cool. If a Wal-Mart exclusive was good enough to crack #86, that's encouraging for how the album will fare.

You're the guy who didn't know who Alan Jackson was, right? Well, now we're even, because I have no idea who Lana Del Ray is

Boys, I am confused; this album has only one new song, the new version of DIA, but it charts? Last night TWGMTR sold 15 k copies, and it's #10 on Amazon before it can comes out? So it will certainly chart.
I remain confused as well about the single; one has to hunt on Billboard to find the chart info; you have to search for the BB and then the song , which tells you that it's on the Japan charts only. Is this the most current info.?
I am anxious, as many of you are, for the 37th top 40 hit; is it going to happen?
Crossing fora, let me say: the itunes samples are beyond all hope for beauty; the show of QVC was a success beyond understanding.. . . .
I simply do not believe any of this is happening. Maybe I have had small dreams or humble ambitions, but I have to say that this event, of which I have no real part beyond fandom, is the most satisfying aesthetic and cultural event I have ever experienced.

Yep. Newly assembled compilations can chart. And apparently everyone on this board buying it was enough.

Looks like no, I'm afraid. There's usually a two week delay between release of an album/single and a placement on the Billboard chart. More than two weeks have passed, and the single ain't there. But really, with charts dependent on airplay and downloads, I can't imagine a BB tune would place these days ... we heard about a couple of stations picking it up, but I don't think it went into serious rotation anywhere.

thank you, whirestone, for your kind and quick reply. I suppose the album itself, once well charted, will bring the BB the type of acceptance and popular sanction that they hoped would occur here. The critical reception so far has been solid, with a few snarky aberrations here and there, which I, and others, has squashed with trenchant, merciless aplomb in the attendant commentaries to those publications.

Definitely. I'd even say top 5, unless some other high profile stuff is coming out the same week or week before. The number sold on QVC alone is enough to put it in the top 100, probably as high or higher than the zinepack.

We were talking about this on the other thread, the number sold on QVC alone puts them in the top 20. Looks like they can make it into the top 5 with about 50,000 sales.

Wow, I didn't see this coming at all! I would have never expected it to chart...there wasn't much publicity about it, and it was available only at Walmart, and only had one new song. I think we can expect a very big showing for the album June 5th!!

That's interesting. How many of these packs were sold ? Sounds promising for the new album. Now what about the single ?

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Has anyone here bought the zinepak? Is it a neat thing, package-wise? Nice to have/hold/all that?

AC/DC made a killing selling their Black Ice album exclusively at Walmart.

Journey, of all people, did very well with Wal-Mart. I don't think Boyz II Men did as well with their last album.
I am stunned this ZinePak made it to the top 100. The Wal-Mart near me didn't even have any copies so I bought it online. I guess it sold out

Not necessarily. Did you read the article about AC/DC and their Wal-Mart exclusive? At first, yes, selling an item in more stores seems like a no-brainer. But look at what Wal-Mart did for AC/DC as part of their deal? They went all out in their advertising campaign, going as far as setting up stores-within-a-store outside men's clothing sections to really push the album. Without that exclusive deal, would they have done that? No. So it was a calculated risk on AC/DC's part, and it appears to have paid off.

i'd be a little bummed if the beach boys did that, but if they want the money then who could blame them. i'd have to step into a walmart though. I wouldn't mind walmart if they took better care of their stores, they always seem dirty.

True, I wouldn't step foot in a Wal-Mart unless it was an absolute necessity, which the Beach Boys are not. I'd feel dirty even buying from their website. But yeah, if their management decided it'd be financially stupid not to, who could blame them?
