14. The Decemberists The Hazards of Love – 19,000 (debut)
And that’s after an “early exclusive release through iTunes and on 180-gram vinyl in select indie stores.” Nice.
that is actually. i wonder what it will do now that the actual cd is released. i also wonder what prince’s new record will do. and if it will chart. it’s coming out on a sunday after all.
On their podcast last week Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot likened the new Decemberists album to Jethro Tull. While I haven’t heard it yet, the clips I’ve listened to really rock. Here’s hoping that their sales build from 19,000 in the weeks ahead. Clarkson must be vanquished!
