Iron Maiden :: Charts & Sales History

[abdon]

But I wonder How the new album will be!!! hope back to Iron Maiden era !!!

[abdon]

Very difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW Iron Maiden doesnīt have any chance to hit the number one spot at least they come back with something as amazing as the number of the beast!!!(even though Itīs not my favorite album, but the most successfull) but today USA only have eyes for other bands.....such as ..... we all now je je

[john2000]

here is the first week US sales of their last three studio albums :

Brave New World (2000) 37 618
Dance of Death (2003) 40 308
A Matter of Life & Death (2006) 55 722

I think #1 will be difficult, but definitely top 5 is possible.

[nibblet]

I suspect a lot of their catolgue is under-certified from 1980 to 1992, however, due to the multiple change of labels throughout the decades, I doubt we will see any recertifications.

That said, I think the forthcoming album will certainly go Top 10 in the US and quite likely go Top5! It may even snatch a number 1 spot if its a quiet week! That would be something, their first US Number 1 29 years after their US chart debut!

[abdon]

It will be very interesting but I guess the same albums will increase a little bit once again. :-?

Re: Iron Maiden :: Charts & Sales History

A new soundscan update would be interesting as most of the ones we have are 4 years old now.

That would be nice !as i'm not sure the last ones we have include all re-issues

Total Shipment: 7,050,000

I was looking at their old RIAA certs today. It seems they've gotten a lot of video certs in recent years, but their latest album cert was almost 18 years ago ('Somewhere In Time' platinum, 07/92)!

I hope the catalog get an update when the new album is out.

Possible certs:

Iron Maiden - Gold
Killers - Platinum
NOTB - 2 x Platinum
POM - 2 x Platinum
SSOASS - Platinum
NPFTD - Platinum (probably least likely of the bunch)
FOTD - Gold

^^Those would add 4.5 million to their total

I dunno if Live After Death is certified as a single or double album, could it be ready for 2 x Platinum as well? It was of course a double LP, and it's now a double CD, but for years the CD version was cut to a single disc, excluding side 4 of the LP. :-?

Also, the 1981 live EP 'Maiden Japan' charted 30 weeks between 1981 and 1984 - could it be Gold?

A new soundscan update would be interesting as most of the ones we have are 4 years old now.
Unfortunately I don't have any new ones...

UP THE IRONS!

'A Matter Of Life And Death' is one of my fave albums of the past 15 years or so. I'm excited about this new one. And with that title 'The Final Frontier' could it be their last ever studio album?

Im pretty much excited about the new album coming out.....wouldn't be totally surprised if this were to be their swansong!

btw Dane, would u happen to have updated soundscan figures for some of their albums?
