Current Sales Ranking of CHSIB on Amazon.com
 

With a special thanks to David who's been keeping track of this information on MOTS :wink:

as of right now, the current sales ranking on Amazon.com is
95 !!!

According to the definition on Amazon.com :

"As an added service for customers, authors, publishers, artists, labels, and studios, we show how items in our catalog are selling. This bestseller list is much like The New York Times Bestsellers List, except it lists millions of items! The lower the number, the higher the sales for that particular title. The calculation is based on Amazon.com sales and is updated regularly. The top 10,000 best sellers are updated each hour to reflect sales in the preceding 24 hours. The next 100,000 are updated daily. The rest of the list is updated monthly, based on several different factors."

Bottom line : It's in the top 100 for sales ... and looks like it's going to be a big hit to me !!
Congratulations Fire Ball :))

Vicki

Thanks for the WONDERFUL news :!:



Maria :twisted:

You're welcome :))
And I saw it listed in 3 different store circulars for my area today ... it's just so exciting !!

Vicki

Vicki,

I just left Amazon and was coming her to post that, but you beat me to it. Johnny on the spot, you are! :lol: I am thrilled to see it doing so well on Amazon. I'm going to call several local stores tomorrow to make sure they have it on hand to put out on Tuesday, but I really am not expecting there to be distribution problems like there were in the UK. Woo, I am so exciting that things are warming up in the States! 8) 8) 8)

Sherrie

I try :lol:
I'm just so thrilled right now :))
Definitely check with the stores - that's a great idea !
I pre-ordered mine online from Best Buy.com, and got a message today that it's already been shipped !! I was surprised .. I didn't expect it to be shipped until Tuesday.

But when I went into Best Buy today, the guy checked his computer, and told me it will definitely be in the store on Tuesday. He said when you order them on-line, they allow 2-3 business days, so I'll probably get it in the mail the same day they put it on the shelf :)) This is so cool !!
You're absolutely right .. I'm not expecting any distribution problems in the US either 8) 8) 8)

Vicki

This IS Fantastic :bunny:

Mariella

Definitely :)
And I can't wait until I see it sitting on the shelf -- hopefully for not too long -- in the record store tomorrow !!

Vicki

I am getting these flashbacks...remember so well how excited I was when CHSIB was about to be released in Europe! It is SO great to see it in the shops!
I am so happy things are looking good!

I am going to do some more e-mailing/phoning to get the record played.
I LOVE this!

Mariella

I know .. it's just so exciting !!
That's excellent .. thank you so much for all your help Mariella :))
I LOVE it too!

Vicki

Fingers, and everything else, crossed that it storms the charts!

I Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself Mike :))
Vicki

Wow, there doesn't seem to be ANY distribution problem here in the US. This afternoon I called:

Barnes and Noble- they have "a box of them", that will go on sale tomorrow AM

Target- they have many, many copies of it that will go on sale tomorrow AM. They also said it will be featured in their national Sunday color newspaper advertisement this weekend, on sale for $11.88. The clerk I spoke with was very excited about the CD.

Walmart- got it, it will go out tomorrow AM.

Since the department stores like Target and Walmart have it I really have no doubt that the large music retailers will have it in large numbers. Woo, I am ready to start chart watching! Go Meat!

Sherrie :lol: :lol:

Fantastic !!!!!
And, as of right now, the current rating on Amazon is 93 :))

I saw it in Target's circular this past Sunday .. so maybe they mean they'll be featuring it again this coming weekend ?

This is so cool ! I can't wait to see it rise up in the charts !!

Thanks Sherrie !!
Vicki

It's really fantastic to hear that Meat's brilliant new album is being handled so much better in the US than in the UK / Europe. I really hope that the single and album both get the number one spot.

It's More Than They Deserve! (Sorry :lol: )

I can't wait until the second single is released here - I think it's November.

GOOLD LUCK IN AMERICA MEAT!

I couldn't agree more :))

Yes !! I wonder what the new single will be ?

GOOD LUCK MEAT !!!
Vicki

I am such a freak, I'm afraid- I actually went to Target before work this AM (was late for a meeting as a result- the things we do for Meat!) just so I could actually see the copies of CHSIB on American shelves! I didn't buy a copy (I have a UK copy, with American and Aussie versions in the mail to me), but I really had to resist the urge to run around Target and announce "you MUST buy this CD" to each person there. (Perhaps that isn't such a bad idea... :lol: ) The CD is red, with a cool sticker on the front that says "You've seen paradise by the dashboard light, You'd do anything for love and now, You Couldn't Have Said it Better. I am so thrilled that my fellow Americans can now experience this album!

Sherrie
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

This is so cool Sherrie !!
Fantastic :)) Well if you're a freak than so am I ... I'm wearing my orange CHSIB tour tee shirt (the one that looks like the CD cover), and am on my way out to the record store to get a copy!

Of course it doesn't matter that I already have the UK and German copies, and the Aussie and another US copy on their way in the mail to me .... oh brother, do I sound pathetic or what ? :roll:

Vicki

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Getting my copy as soon as I leave work!!!!! I think I might jog to the shops as waiting for a bus will be painfully slow!!!
I do have a copy from England (my dad picked it up while he was there coaching rugby last month)
Getting a Canadian copy anyhow, though, I'll give the old copy to my boyfriend (new Meat Loaf fan)
WOOHOO!!!!

That's excellent Leah !!!!
It just meant so much to me to finally be able to get a copy here in the US .. and I know it'll mean just as much to you to be able to get yours in Canada :)) It's like an early Christmas, eh?

Vicki

It sure is Vicki!
By the way-CHSIB is ranked at 56 now according to amazon.com!!!(Unless it's different for the u.s vs. Canada)

Definitely Leah !
56 ?? Excellent !!!
I just checked Amazon.com for the U.S., and it's listed as 86. So I guess it's different for the U.S and Canada?

Thanks for information :))
Vicki

This is fantastic news! I'm so pleased for Meat. I think it got in the top 20 here album wise, so let's hope it goes all the way tonight (sorry, I must stop doing that!)!

I laughed very loudly when I heard about the cool sticker on the front of the CD cover. I wish mine had that on (the UK one is blue, and says something slightly unimaginitive like "including the new hit single CHSIBM plus a video of BOOH).

Great to hear stores have actually heard about it and have stocks.

MERCURY UK - TAKE NOTICE!

Do I dare say .. I Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself TRex2003 :))

Vicki

Oooh, I wouldn't Vickip, you'll have the Wolf At Your Door!

:roll: :lol: :twisted:

By the way, how do you make it say

"Vicki wrote" instead of "Quote:"?

Cheers!
