If you go to www.hitsdailydouble.com, you can view the album sales chart in progress. Gravity is at #8 at 37% completion, so it looks like nunofreak will win. This is incredible, too, considering SM debuted at what, 84?

There's something weird about seeing OLP so high on the charts...it just doesn't seem real. It so bittersweet, for them to get so famous on this album. Why not Happiness...or SM? It sadens me. It goes to show the rock is just like other music genres, just a business. :cry:

Looks like NunoFreak is going to win.

yeah, I was wrong. Looks like they will debut Top 10. They are expecting sales of around 80K.

i never thought that it would debut in the top 10... but this is amazing. I'm honestly shocked. But in a good way!! Finally OLP has gotten the success that they deserve.

I can't remember what Clusmy's opening US SALES were but in Canada it was 25 000 units

Happiness: US: 21 900 (debuts at 69), Canada: 40 090 (Debuts #1)
SM: US : 20 500 (debuts at 81), Canada: 36 500 (Debuts at #5)

Look at the increase in Amercan sales, that's crazy!

I'll wait for the official Billboard Top 200 chart to come out on Wednesday before I declare myself a winner. I can't believe Papa Roach's new album is doing so well. I still think when the final numbers are in, Our Lady Peace will be higher than #8. I will not be surprised if they come in Top 5, I really won't. We'll find out tomorrow...

OLP's success is bringing a tear to my eye...I am seriously happy that they're somewhat known now
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Holy crap! Our Lady Peace have been bumped down to #10 by Pink and Kenny Chesney. According to them, 80% finished with the numbers.

On Edge 102 they just announced that OLP debuted in the Top 10 in the US. They didn't say what spot though. :mrgreen: I'm so proud of them!!

wow...all I can say is wow...i'm so proud. Maybe people will know who I'm talking about now when I say OLP is my fav band! Congrats to them, if they really did make the top ten. I hope they stick around up there and not fall off the charts next week already.

Even though I am happy OLP is popular, I just loved seeing the blank looks on people's faces when I said OLP was my favorite band. They think I am always talking about a church...
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
