Some Things Never Change....

How many cd's would you need to sell to get into the top three? How many were sold on QVC again? Twenty thousand?

They sold somewhere around 14,000 - 17,000 on QVC.
It would vary by week, but they need to break around 60,000 again to get back into the top three.

It really isn't hard for them to do well around these days, music doesn't sell that much.. so it doesn't take as much as it did back in the days to be in the top 10.

Not saying the album is bad, at all, but you know..

Anyway great news! as i said, the more we get albums, the more we get away from Still Cruisin' and Summer In Paradise, the better it is!
didn't know they had a 3 albums deal with Capitol, but with Joe Thomas only? shame, i guess we won't get any better production on the next records, but more music is always well welcome! as long it's as good (or hopefully even better?) than TWGMTR.

The three record deal is not for three new studio albums, it's for the new studio album, a new compilation, and a new boxset.

I'm wondering if the Walmart "Anniversary Collection 'ZinePak" is the compilation?

Maybe AGD knows?

The album did as well as it did for a several reasons:

1. 50th Anniversary
2. First studio album in decades

But without good promotion and positive word of mouth that's all worthless. Summer in Paradise was their 30th anniversary album and their first full new album in seven years, and nobody bought that.

Let's hope not!  And remember, there have been two 'compilations' so far, the 'ZinePak' with 11 songs, and the QVC Bonus CD "50 Years of Hits" with 11 different songs from 62 - 68.

It was just an special offer for QVC, it's probably the channel who did that themselves (look at the artwork and all), i highly doubt that's any part of the contract with Capitol.
