Anybody know how many sales Backspacer had in Week #4? What about its Billboard ranking?

I believe after 3 weeks it was sitting at #16 on Billboard with about 280,000 sold.

    I heard 20.5k and down to #25 on Billboard.

    Looks like this will sell around Riot Act #'s...maybe 500k total.....let's get the next single rollling....

    As posted in another thread:

    Fourth week sales were just over 20,000. Looks like this will place "Backspacer" at No. 23 on The Billboard 200. (Note: Hits Daily Double lists it at No. 25, but that includes two Michael Jackson catalog albums ahead of it that are not eligible for The Billboard 200.)

    So, the chart run so far looks to be 1-10-16-23, which means "Backspacer" is holding up much better than "Riot Act," but not quite as well as "Pearl Jam," at least over the first month. "Pearl Jam" was 2-8-10-17-22 the first 5 weeks; "Riot Act" was 5-36-67-90-100.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I always thought these numbers came out on Wednesdays. Anyways, it would be nice if Backspacer could maintain on the charts for a little while. It would be nice if another promotional wave would come, including a new radio single, Letterman appearance, and possible SNL appearance.

    My girlfriend told me they took down the big Backspacer cardboard display at Target. With Target being the only big retailer and no more big displays, I'm afraid sales may plummet.

    It is really stupid that they wait so long for it.
    On one side, they are happy about the new record deal since they get $5 for each CD.
    On the other side, their promo sucks, and leads to fewes sales.
    I don't get it.

    release a 2nd single soon, and make some TV appearances!

    The second single has been released to radio. "Just Breathe" debuts at No. 42 on Billboard's Rock Songs chart this week. "The Fixer" is still hanging in at No. 7 after 13 weeks.

    "Backspacer" ends up at No. 21 on The Billboard 200. Those Hits Daily Double numbers obviously do not synch up with Billboard. "Backspacer" has gone 1-10-16-21 on The Billboard 200. Look for stabilization and upward movement as "Just Breathe" continues to get more airplay. It's currently the fourth-most played track at KROQ Los Angeles.

    as much as I love Just Breathe, I think Got Some or Unthought Known would have made better second singles for Backspacer. JB is too much like the Into the Wild soundtrack which the rest of the public has already heard a lot of, at least it got a lot of play here in LA.
