Linkin Park :: The "Living Things" Era

Lost In The Echo will be released as the second single in the UK (23rd July).

The best track on the album and my jam right now.

Hope the next will be ''Roads Untraveled'. My favourite from the album.

Nice, I love this song.

Hopefully Castle Of Glass will be released too.

I'm so glad for this !

Their first sales week is likely to be quite good !

Actually, 'Living Things' is not my favourite album of them, but they deserve it the top.

UK sales
LT sold 41,526 last week, M5 38,717. Not bad, but I expected ~60k tbh

by **arab** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 2:55 pm

...also #1 in New Zealand

by **Nackar** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 3:06 pm

^^ I definitely agree, was hoping for 60k, especially since it seems to be doing so well in other markets (most notably the US). It actually sold more in Japan first week than in the UK! That doesn't happen very often for Western acts. (Although the UK total will easily be three, if not four or more, times the Japan total :lol:

)

Yay, another #1 debut!

By the way, Living Things makes their first number one in The Netherlands! Didn't know that

Never say never, but I hope you're right :lol:

2xP would be just fantastic, but I'll be satisfied with 400k+ :wink:

by **Hermes** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 3:10 pm

I'm satisfied with these 41K. I also expected better sales but I won't complain with this, especially since they're above Maroon 5. :lol:

I wonder which album will be #1 WW between Living Things and Overexposed.

Living Things will hit #1(ww) easily! They are charting higher than M5 in every(?) country :wink:

Nice, but I don't like HDD's early predictions. It means nothing :-?

Let's wait for "official" numbers and then celebrate 8-)

So you don't trust in Linkin Park's power? Are they powerless to you? Are you lost in the chart echo?

Lemmee be happy! No way Maroon 5 has a chance against this epic album. They are literally powerless.

by **arab** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 6:58 pm

No no, I mean that those numbers are hmmm pointless, cause they(almost always) have nothing to do with final sales :wink:

For example 50k in 51% and 300k in final :wink:

I know :p, but thanks for reminding^^. I was just joking around a little bit.

I just wanted to show that i have no doubt the album will loose against Maroon 5.

by **stevyy** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 7:02 pm

i finally bought it, 14,99€ :lol:

yay

by **muse778** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:18 pm

I think this would have had larger 1st week sales if they had released Lost in the Echo first. It has a very Hybrid theory feel to it and would have attracted a lot of the older fans back to LP. Still can see this having a much longer chart run than A Thousand Suns, especially here in the UK (much though ATS is my favourite LP album).
