M2M succesful?

[ugur90]

So do u guys think that M2M was successful businesswise..I know there mite be another single released but we can face that not a lot of sales are gonna happen nemore..maybe a few hundred thousand thats it

[GraDoN]

ya i dont think MTM will out sell meteora, its cause mtm has got no monster singles, WID was the only single that made people buy the album, BIO was ok but SOTD and GU wont bring in much.

 

put is this way... in todays music buisness MTM is successful, but for LPs standarts its not that successful

that's right...

there isn't much more to say about that.. all we know that MTM won't sell meteora cause the music wasn't anything what fans were expecting, but LP just did what they wanted to do, they went in their own way and imo that is great.

well, anyways i think MTM sold well... i was expecting worse.

[MayaTheVampire]

wow.....you actually took the words out of my mouth

[Jeezy]

they sold like 5 million worldwide with it...so I think it's a success....

 

You can't sell 15-20 million with a CD anymore...it's just not possible

[ugur90]

yea i agree...plus theres much more downloading and music sharing and itunes crap than back in the hybrid theory days

[Linkin_lp_park]

yea i agree...plus theres much more downloading and music sharing and itunes crap than back in the hybrid theory days

 

Yeah sure is, imo MTM did very good

[ugur90]

Altho i remember reading somwhere that chester said he'd be kinda irritated if the album only sold a few million only

i agree

also like jeezy said, its just not possible to sell that much these days

imo it was a succes

ya it was in an interview some time before the release of MTM, but i think that they cant be dissapointed with the sales cause its like jeezy said even if your an world famous artist like ACDC or Guns n Roses, doing an album now wont bring in much more than a couple of million.

 

i mean people are always like "ya wow 50 million albums sold in they 1977 album" thing is, back then the only way you could get the music was to buy it... today its EVERYWHERE for free so only your fanbase and a couple of other people buy the album.

 

that said MTM is doing pretty well, but only because LP has such a big world wide fan base and not just in the UK and US, i mean looking at wiki ive NEVER seen so many countries where an album had gone platinum... there are like almost 20.

[LPShinodaFM]

With the music industry nowadays (and how easy it is to download) it really isn't possible to reach the records of Meteroa. But it did sell very well with today's standards, thanks to LP's enormous fanbase lol So yeah I think it is pretty successful.

 

I don't think the style change affected much, because like I said before, old fans go, new fans come, I stay here forever. xD

[GraDoN]

well its possible to reach meteora, 6X platinum is in LPs reach if they produce a huge album, but HT sales wont soon be reached by ANY band any time soon, to sell 24 million albums world wide on a debut will NEVER be done again, that i can promise

[LPShinodaFM]

Ahh i keep getting mixed up on which one sold more. :[ lmao Debut duh.

[GraDoN]

yeah meteora sold about 14-16 million world wide

HT - 24 million

MTM - about 5 million ( i think it will reach about 10 in about 5 years)

[Linkin_lp_park]

yeah meteora sold about 14-16 million world wide

HT - 24 million

MTM - about 5 million ( i think it will reach about 10 in about 5 years)

 

24 million is really sick for a debut

And yeah MTM will keep selling bit by bit, so it´s possible to reach 10 I think

[ugur90]

i dont think it will reach 10..maybe 7-8 max...but i still think it was pretty succesfull i mean the black parade sole 3.1 and every1 thought it was huge...5 mil is pretty darn good for this time period..i dont think any other artist will hit around that in the next few years.

[HaziLPTonz]

albums like MTM take time to seep in, people dont like it cause its so different to whats been done previously, i spose ALOT of us fans were hoping for the power rap/rock duo to bring a saviour light through the "emo" phase....but hey, its struck a chord with me, its different while kind of staying true to who they are, albums like these will be downloaded alot more as popularity is increased after taking inital hits. probably wont clear 10mil, as most albums would be sold in the inital period of release, but its done alot better than other artists and this isnt even LP's "best" album, it doesnt have the monster singles of the past 2 to push it up and yet it still sells 5ish mill copies, other bands get hit singles that never go anywhere album sale wise

[AnShinoda]

i really love minutes to midnight, it would be really sad if it will only sell less than 10million..

[GraDoN]

well show mw how many albums actually sells 10 million today...

its just a BIG task and eventhough i also LOVE mtm, it just doesent have any big singles after WID and BIO to bring in enough sales
