    The actual sales number for the Strokes ended up being 23,000 (35,000 including streaming equivalents), so less than half of Pearl Jam's sales total but double Pearl Jam's streaming total (12,000 to 6,000).
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I figured they would stream more. I just didn't by how much?

    One comparison we didn't make before is to Green Day.  Their new album sold 42,000 in its first week in February, so Pearl Jam outsold them by about 30 percent despite the difficult sales environment in late March.

    I guess those of us who buy albums are a dieing breed.  I often find myself being lazy and telling Alexa, play Gigaton!

    Sounds like Retrograde will start getting traction at AAA radio.

    Does buying the album on itunes (or imusic, whatever) count for album sales? I assume the answer is yes but just wanted clarification.

    I'm guessing Quick Escape was never actively promoted to radio but only a pre album release single.  Retrograde is being marketed and pushed to radio.  An official video is being produced and will be out soon.

    Yes. Even buying each track separately. At least 10 would count as 1 album sale also

    I believe it was played. But I don't know why they stopped playing it

    Updated for week ending April 25, 2020.

    "Superblood Wolfmoon" continues to make small but steady gains at rock radio.

    Gigaton falls out of the Billboard 200 after two weeks, but remains at No. 15 in Top Album Sales.  Harry Styles at No. 14 sold about 4,000.  Dua Lipa at No. 16 sold about 3,700.  So figure that Pearl Jam sold in the high 3,000s.  That would give it a sales trajectory of 55,000-~10,000-~4,000.  It will be hard to get to 100,000 at that rate.

    I saw Gigaton shot up to #9 on iTunes album chart after Eddie's River Cross performance on Global Citizen webcast. It's #18 today. Been in top 20 iTunes every day since Saturday. River Cross (Gigaton version) was also around #100 in iTunes Songs chart. Not on there anymore.

    And on Amazon the CD has been at #3 most of the time. Fluctuating between 3 and 10. Digital between 10-26.
    Maybe Mike's appearance with Awolnation on Thursday will help a little. Other than that there's no appearance that I know of. I know someone mentioned that they'll "show up" in the Bulls documentary at the end. But that will be late May. Speaking of that documentary. It helped the Alan Parsons Project "Sirius" go to #1 on iTunes rock

    I don't think they care about sales based on the little to no media and promotional activities.  Amazing how just a brief 2 minute Eddie performance this weekend catapulted River Cross to the most popular and highest selling song on Gigaton.

    Only for this week. But Dance, SBWM, and Quick Escape were higher. SBWM was at #1 longer as well. In the rock chart

    Retrograde??? Are you kidding?

    Why not 7:00 or Quick Escape? This makes no sense to me.

    I've been listening to Sirius on a loop for the last two days. 

    In fact, it's on right now

    Per Apple iTunes, River Cross has sold the most on the album.  Not sure about other outlets.

    Yes. For this week. But Dance and SBWM have been #1 and I believe Quick Escape as well. And those  3 were #1 on Amazon as well. Overall it has not sold the most or streamed the most.
