Wow, someone updated over the years and it says BTM went platinum. But this chart has been unreliable and posted here before.
When SYW was released in 2003, the music industry had slumped. No one was buying music as much. Remember when they had to crack down on illegal downloads and all this copyright stuff came to light. The point I was making that even though BTM and SYW sold about the same in the year of their debut, music still sold like crazy in 1990 so it was far more disappointing than SYW sales.
Mystery To Me needs an update on this chart and stuck at 500k. But Extended Play has a whopping 2,000 sales.
