    As of midnight on release day: Amazon top sales for music:
    #1 CD Version
    #7 CD/DVD Version
    #104 Deluxe Box version (That amazes me that a $50 product is near the top 100 of all amazon music sales)
    #494 Vinyl version.

    DMB’S MARCHING TO TOP

    Dave Matthews Band Eyes 375-400k

    June 3, 2009

    Hell, we don’t know what the album title means, either.
    Still, whatever the hell it does mean, Dave Matthews Band’s new RCA album, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, its tribute to late sax player LeRoi Moore, who passed away last year, will easily top next week’s HITS sales chart, with a target range of between 375-400k.

    Funny the way that is.

    I've noticed in the past that they've been off pretty significantly in their estimates based on one day sales. That's slightly lower than I expected, but makes sense. I'd like to see them cross 400K.

    I will account personally for 2 of their totals. Also I texted my entire phone book and know for a fact that I got at least 3 people to buy the album yesterday! GO ME!!!

    HDD is predicting 375-400K. I'm thinking they will be around 410-430K. I picked 400-449K

    if they are estimating that, with all the shows coming up on TV, i'd guess about 425,000 - a fantastic number

    Posted 6 hours ago on the Washington Post:

    "Dave Matthews Band expected to top album chart

    LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Dave Matthews Band will likely bow at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart next week with "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King," which industry prognosticators are suggesting could sell as many as 390,000 copies in its first week. If it debuts at No. 1, the RCA release will be the band's fifth straight studio album to do so."

    I voted 400-450K, but I cant imagine them only selling 390K. Even in 2009, that seems abnormally low for a record with this much mainstream anticipation, critical response, and promotion.

    Are sales figures not available? Remember when Kanye and 50 had that little competition to sell the most records. I remember Nielsen Soundscan gave estimates mid-week to say who was winning. Maybe that was just because of the circumstances.

    With as much hype as there has been and it supposedly going #1 of all-time in pre-orders on iTunes. I would imagine the number should be pretty huge!

    Just something I noticed:

    DMB albums currently in the iTunes top 100 albums (as of 5 today):

    #1-BWGGK (regular version)
    #20- BWGGK (iTunes Pass)
    #57- Crash
    #72- UTTAD
    #92- BTCS


    even if they don't get great numbers on BWGGK in its first week, they're still selling a TON of albums

    This is not the biggest iTunes pre-order...lol who said that?

    I believe Maroon 5 sold like 115,000 copies on iTunes alone. DMB will be lucky to hit 50,000 on iTunes

    420 would be awesome. Anything over 400 is a nice success.

    Something like 375-399 is good, but kinda like a failure. Like so close but no cigar. It is impressive, but its not. If you understand that.

    Read above. Several sources are making estimates based on Nielsen figures. Hitsdailydouble.com is projecting 375-400K, another source is projecting 390K

    First of all, he said biggest "pre-order" not biggest overall itunes sales. Secondly how in gods name did you come up with that 50,000 figure?

    It would still be the 3rd highest first week sales in the year, behind 2 of the only artists that can outsell DMB regularly (Eminem and U2). I have no idea what the band was hoping for or expecting, but 375,000 would be right in line with the 465,000 for Stand Up considering the 10% drop in sales each year for the past 4 years. 400,000 would be pretty huge in this market. Of course, that's what I'm hoping for, but calling 375,000 a "failure" is illogical.

    I know what he said. This is not at all the biggest pre-order at all.

    50,000 is what a big #1 album on iTunes will move. A huge, album (that 12 year olds would buy: Taylor Swift, Justin, etc) will do 100-150K.
