Also i'm pretty sure Amazon is more likely to sell a lot more full albums.

That's interesting too.  I'm not hip on the new technology, though... would people who usually use Itunes

1. buy an album, instead of just seperate mp3's, and

2. Know that you could also buy mp3's on amazon?

It has probably already been mentioned earlier in this or other threads, but stuff can chart really high on Amazon and not nearly as high on the Billboard chart. I've seen some relatively niche stuff make it pretty high on Amazon's charts. But these sources that predict chart placements are, for better or worse, usually pretty accurate. Considering that this BB album is getting a lot of press but still not nearly as much as a number of other hit artists currently, I think anything in the Top 5 or 10 is pretty impressive.

I hope if nothing else that a high chart placement will lead to more recording and touring as a unit. That's the only real reason I would care about the charts.

I'm pretty sure they would, but I think your more likely on itunes to have more casual fans pick the single and maybe some of the other tracks over an album whereas with Amazon there's a lot of older people who might not know about buying individual songs or just want a physical copy of the album.

Frankly, until I came here, I never considered buying mp3's from Amazon.  Though I prefer entire albums, when purchasing mp3's I still almost always purchase them from iTunes.  I have an account, a gift card, it's easy, and I would imagine most young people purchase their music through iTunes.

It's still sitting pretty at #3 on Amazon's chart almost two weeks after it's release. Guess the TV exposure is paying off.

Even Sounds Of Summer is at #40 now. In the UK however TWGMTR has dropped to #24 but I can see it selling for quite a while though what with the September Wembley concert and i'm pretty sure they'll promote the album when there over here.

In exactly which chart, may I ask ?  It's #136 in the Billboard Top 200, #15 in the catalog chart.

Clarification appreciated, thanks.
