22 would be fantastic, although I'm still really pulling for at least top 20!

Just awesome.  I was in shock as soon as I saw the link at the bottom of the page.  Think Capitol will pick him up for another album?

And hey, Andrew...you haven't really done a review of TLOS yet! Did it meet your expectations?

Hell, it exceeded mine by a large margin.

I do hate to be a downer though (bullshit, actually I enjoy it) but I wonder how the multiple versions of the album affected sales. At this point, gotta say, it was a pretty nifty marketing gimmick.

So that's two US top 25 studio albums for Brian in the last four years... Against just one for the Beach Boys in the last fourty years... Way to go Brian!

I could be wrong, but it seems that I recall online sales not kicking in until the second week on Billboard. If so, it could definitely improve. That Daily Double was pretty much dead-on.

That's pretty impressive, the marketing of the album in the US has worked.

While I try to be realistic...I hope TLOS is still in the US and UK top 40's next week...

Maybe release a single in the UK, get a little airplay. For example, if it's in the top 40 then the pop radio stations will play it at least once in their chart rundowns.

I just looked up TLOS on amazon.com and amazon.co.uk

Regular CD edition #146 in amazon UK music, #11 in amazon.com rock music (#16 in pop).

I think that says a lot. TLOS is selling better in the states than in the UK...what's the situation elsewhere around the world?

Come on Capitol, you've done Brian proud in his homeland but don't forget the rest of us!

TLOS only went on sale in Australia last Saturday, the ARIA chart to be released on Sunday evening (13th Sept) will be the first opportunity for TLOS to chart. It has been getting airtime and positive media so its a possibility (plus the name Brian Wilson has a spin off effect from the Sydney Festival this year).

Hate to be a damper again, but 21,000 copies isn't that great of an amount. Then again, if Beach Bum is correct about the delay for internet sales to be counted, then expect the sales figures/chart position to rise.

Regardless of what happens, I think it's safe to say TLOS is a success.

God Billy 21,000 is a lot for Brian, Elton john's last record sold as much in it's first week, and he sells out stadiums all over the world

Just let us have some fun  Angry

Oh, don't get me wrong...I'm enjoying it, and I'm real happy, for Brian in addition to us as fans. I'm just expecting that number to rise if the internet sales aren't counted, as I'm thinking that number is a bit low.

I think that what is more important than #21 on its' initial week on the charts is...where will it be in week #3?  Is there any staying power?  Despite the (mostly) positive reviews I think this has peaked where it is right now.  I hope I'm wrong.  But even with PSML, chart positions faded rather quickly.

I have to agree with Mr. Larson regarding the staying power of this. Plus the fact that I personally bought 2 copies at Best Buy and 1 from iTunes. That's 2 for me out of that 21,000 plus 1 for the internet sales. My point is that alot of fans bought all 3 copies and really that's only 11,000 people that actually bought the album. Make sense?  I'm tired, deal with me please.

Correct me if I am wrong, but are the Billboard stats reflective not on units shipped rather than sales? If so, imagine the first week they shipped 21,000 and sold 10,000. The next week fewer units would be shipped, causing the chart position to drop.

It's enough for a #21 position, so apparantly that is quite a lot nowadays.

I hope that the news of TLOS being #21 will make some of the more casual fans curious enough to check the album out. People like us on this forum were aware of things like the TLOS live performances and the Midnight's Another Day demo, but for the more casual fans this chart position will probably be the first sign they get that Brian's made the next great album that nobody really expected anymore.
