Wow, when they say that the years from 1985-`992 were the golden era for the Cure, that was a literal thing in the UK :D
ReplyDeleteNeither WMS or Bloodflowers has sold over 60,000 units?
ReplyDeleteNo Platinum except Boy's Don't Cry in the UK. I kind of surprised, I thought they would have had more sales in their home country. Maybe that's a reason why Robert only did one show in the UK this year. I hope that's not the reason!
ReplyDeleteapparently they have never been too big in the UK. damn limeys don't know a good thang when they hear it.
ReplyDelete(that's not a racist term is it? i have been accused of racism at the official)
Wow... Mixed Up (a remix album for crying out loud!)sold almost as many copies in the US as all of the cure's certified albums in the uk put together...
ReplyDeletei'd like to see how the US chart compares to an overall european certification chart. but i guess it's all done by individual country.
europe's population is roughly twice that of the US. I wonder if the sales are proportional. i wouldn't be surprised if they were more than double.
but if we added all of north america to the count...
and compare sales by continent...
um. sorry. im a statistics geek
Cat, calling us Limeys is about the same as us calling you Yanks. I don't think it's "racist" but more derogatory. Some make it out to be worse than it actually is. The term actually has some positive connections.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you though that the UK has terrible music tastes, with the odd exception :)
And i always thought Wish was the biggest selling by miles on the back of Friday i'm in love.
ReplyDeleteYou never know, 13 might go platinum. hmm...
Thanks for the clarification andrew. Sorry if I offended any limeys - I mean Brits. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Yank/Gringa/Cracker, etc.
