Soundscan Album Sales - Week ending May 27th, 2012

[Ron]

They probably have an algorythm to adjust for that, so for instance whatever the raw number is they subtract .3% from to make up for returns, or whatever.

What if you buy and subsequently return an album?

That's fine with me, as long as it helps the album chart higher.

I think if you return it next week, it would subtract from next week's sales but add to this weeks.

Considering there's no chance that this album could ever rise in position any week after the initial one, that's still worth it.

Oh I agree, just a roundabout way of saying it will count this week

I love Neil, but I'm way more excited for TWGMTR than Americana. Isn't that album just going to be him covering a lot of traditional American standards?

Yap. It ain't bad, though. A few tracks are really cool. It's a keeper. Better than Iggy Pop's recent covers album, anyway. Or Macca's.

Was just reading some comments on FB about a recent post made by Neil Young's official page. Seems like you're in the minority, Lowbacca. Listen to some of the choice words these fans--fans enough to waste their time "liking" him and actually reading and commenting on his status updates--think about "Americana":

"Worst project since Greendale; what a waste of Crazy Horse"

"Only love can break your heart, and Americana. It's terrible." <-- personal favorite

"Neil WAS good but has pretty much sucked since the 70's!"

"All I'm getting from this commercialised nonsense of a FB page is Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...

Nice to see "Neil" engage with his fans. It's all about the Franklins."

My French isn't very good, but this one seems lukewarm at best:

"Difficile de faire avec après son magnifique opus Le Noise. Je passe mon tour cette fois. Dommage!
Difficult to do with after his magnificent opus the Noise. I turn my turn this time. Damage!"

Broken English review:

"I have all the Neil's albums. I've just listened Americana and is the worse album of his log carrier. A completly
sh*t"

Had to share. Perhaps the other NY fans will get a kick out of it like I did.
