  4. For an alternative band , well known yes , a 100.000 units in 2 weeks is not bad at all.

    You don't need and cannot compare 2008 with 2004 , record sales have been sliding since the mid nineties.

    Just compare with other more high profile pop artists who cannot even reach the Cure's first week sales.

  5. Just checked , in 2004 The Cure was 8 weeks in the World chart ,
    now probably only 2 weeks and with a much better album.

  7. That world chart? It means only 100,000 world-wide in the last 2 weeks? If so, then Yikes!

    But they are #5 on that Toastmaster chart. Or whatever the heck that is :)

    Its just a shame, to me, that the 2004 album is outperforming 4:13 by a 3 to 1 margin.

  8. Bob: Those numbers from Billboard are total US sales as of Jan. 08. Those are NOT world sales. Just don't want anyone to be confused by that.
