Didn't know how big this album would really be, glad to see it's done pretty well, it deserves it.

Ahhh, so close.

I'm curious to see where it ends up on Billboard for the week. I'm sure this performance on iTunes is only a temporary spike for the first couple days of release. What do you guys think - top 30?

Apocalyptic Love debuted at #4, so it's possible. Judging only by the number of ratings on iTunes, All I Was now has a little over 300 whereas AL had over 800 at the time if I remember correctly. So top 30 is possible. I'll be interested to see where it lands.

Edit: Also, Amaryllis got #4 earlier this year, and it moved 106,000 copies. I think Slash sold 38,000 copies the first week? With the way the music industry is selling records today so low, and considering Mark's diehard little fan base, it could rank higher than I'm thinking it will.

I don't know man. Using Slash's album as a comparison doesn't work. Looking at AB is probably better. ABIII sold 27k the first week two years ago. I am going to say 10k would be a successful number.

I'm just going with recent releases, it is a different audience though.

Agreed. Slash is bigger than AB and a lot of AB fans will pick this up but it will mainly be the hardcore fans. If it stays in the top 10 rock on itunes for a week I will be impressed.

I think 20k would be awesome for it in a week.

Tremonti still #1 with 50 ratings of 5 star. Seriously, this is crazy..

Michael Tremonti tweeted on the release day that he'd spoke to Mark about it on the phone and it will be coming to the UK, by the way.
