No #1 Album For Guns N’ Roses This Time
Hits Daily Double are reporting that GUNS N’ ROSES’ Chinese Democracy will land at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling approximately 300,000 copies in it’s first week out. The album will be topped by KANYE WEST’s 808s And Heartbreak.
Chinese Democracy scored a record 8.4 million streams when the album debuted on MySpace beginning midnight on Thursday, November 20th through midnight Sunday, November 23rd. The premiere of Chinese Democracy was the biggest promotion in MySpace’s five year history, with every MySpace territory signing on to participate.
Chinese Democracy (Black Frog/Geffen Records) is available on CD and vinyl (accompanied by a free digital download of the tracks) at Best Buy and Best Buy.com in the US, and digitally through iTunes.
I’ll have to admit I’m a little surprised. As much of an arrogant jerk Axl Rose is, he isn’t half the waste of time Kanye is.
