AJWatson3 Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 yeah i was shocked that there were tix still available for the MSG show. my sister just got two for a show on the 20th of June-- only two weeks away. of course they were sold out of the two cheaper tix and she had to spend $90 each-- not that she minded. they also had the third highest grossing concert of the year, after the Eagles (and DC tix were cheaper) http://www.billboard-online.com/bb/charts/boxscore.jsp they have the number five album on the country charts, that has sold six million copies so far. http://www.billboard.com/bb/charts/country.jsp must really blow to be hated nation-wide... i wish i could be so lucky. i would buy everyone a beer.

codeorama Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I agree that it's costing them something... instead of selling 75% more records than their next closest country act, it's only around 60% more.. boy, I wish I could suffer like that...

As I have stated before, many times over, they are country music's flavor of the month. The fact that they have shortened their 15 minutes of fame pleases me immensely. Write me back and let me know how their next tour goes, because I'm quite certain that it will not be front page news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I'm not a country music fan, but my wife is and the Chix are by far her favorite as well as the favorite of her friends. They could care less what they said or what there political opinion is. I know for some it does matter, but they will still be making tons of money. If my favorite band came out and said they love Bush, I wouldn't care, I'm smart enought to understand the concept of everyone having their own thoughts and opinions. If we all thought the same, what a sucky place this would be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJWatson3 Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 i just asked my sister how long she has been listening to them and she says probably four years.... and she voted for Bush. http://www.rockonthenet.com/artists-d/dixiechicks.htm selling more than 20 million albums in the last five years... that is long lasting flavor... better than Extra Bubble Gum.

As am I. My intial post stated that it is costing them. Your spin proved my point that the left will try to spin it in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Isn't everything a spin? The right wants to point out that if you say something negative about bush, it will cost you big time.... The left wants to point out that they are still way ahead in sales to their closest competition.... Everything in live depends on your point of view.

If that is the case, then the left may want to get their facts straight as well. http://www.cmt.com/news/display/1459355.jhtml Country Record Sales Increase in Last Week of 2002 Edward Morris 01/03/2003 The last week of 2002 was a profitable one for country music, but it did not appreciably help overall record sales. (Sales through Dec. 22 were chronicled last week by CMT.com.) Final year-end album sales reported by Nielsen Soundscan show that country album purchases were up by 12.2 percent over those of last year. Album sales as a whole for the year, however, dropped by 8.7 percent. Sales via the Internet increased for 2002, moving up from 16,684,665 units to 18,079,765. Total CD album sales for 2002, including both current and catalog titles, amounted to 649.5 million. The 2001 total was 712 million. This year, country albums sold a total of 76,905,000 copies, compared to last year’s 68,489,000. Sales dipped for all other types of music, specifically alternative, classical, jazz, Latin, metal, rhythm & blues, rap, Christian/gospel, soundtrack and new age. This year’s best-selling album is Eminem’s Eminem Show which sold 7,607,925 copies. It was followed by Nelly’s Nellyville (4,916,073); Avril Lavigne’s Let Go (4,121,396); the Dixie Chicks’ Home (3,690,413); the soundrack to 8 Mile (3,498,497); Pink’s Missundaztood (3,144,947); Ashanti’s Ashanti (3,099,216); Alan Jackson’s Drive (3,054,736); Shania Twain’s Up! (2,909,499); and the soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2,736,049). It should be noted that some of these album have been available all year, while others came out relatively late in the year. Twain’s Come on Over continues to be the best-selling album of the “Soundscan Era,” which runs from 1991 to date. It has sold 14,506,614 copies. The other nine of the Top 10 are Alanis Morisette’s Jagged Little Pill (14,089,742); Metallica’s Metallica (13,344,217); Backstreet Boys’ Millennium (12,032,414); the soundtrack to Bodyguard (11,715,408); Santana’s Supernatural (11,176,209); Creed’s Human Clay (11,095,743); ‘N Sync’s No Strings Attached (11,028,340); Celine Dion’s Falling Into You (10,530,424); and Britney Spears’ Baby One More Time (10,420,844).

Well, I apologize for the label then. Those issues are much more near and dear to me than the bimbos and certainly worthy of much greater discussion.

codeorama Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Shania doesn't even really sing... does she?? Every time I have seen her live (only because my wife wants to watch her) on tv, she has been lip synching... it never fails that the mic will be away from her mouth yet the words are still loud and clear.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
