How many copies did BTM sell
I really like this album. At this point I believed Christine could sing with just about anyone and make a good harmony and sound.
Awesome album, how did it do? |
riaa.com says it was certified gold on 7/19/90. Not sure how to find out how many copies it's sold since then...
|
Someone(I believe wetcamelfood) posted a few years ago that BTM sold about 800,000 copies in the U.S. & 2,000,000 worldwide. That's just an estimate since Soundscan didn't start counting until 1991, 1 year after the album was released. It probably sold about what SYW did. It may even have outsold SYW worldwide by a little bit.

Yeah, you recall correctly macfan57, that was just what I heard, don't have any documentation but the sales #'s aren't a biggie to me either anyways. I think you're right too that BTM probably actually outsold SYW since BTM did very well in the UK, "no. 1" & all, whereas I don't remember hearing anything about SYW "being number one" in any country, so... :)

Last number I saw were that it had officially gone "gold" nearly 15 yrs ago. But in that time, it still has not been certified as Platinum here in the US. I think it pushed nearly 2 million copies overall.

I like the album, although the over-production killed a lot of songs. "Freedom" and "When It Comes To Love" are both good songs, but the production was just ghastly. Christine and Billy had a lot of strong material, Stevie and Rick, not so much, although there weren't any blatantly awful songs on the album. From what I understand, there were better songs that could have been put on the album.

I will never for the life of me get the production of that record. Some of those songs would been much better with a little restraint or more of a clue - Save Me - though terrific, come to mind. But, I like the record nonetheless. |
