George, does each sale count as 3, or is each compilation one unit?

Woohoo, Andre Rieu at #25!!!!

George, I was hoping you would eventually share with us the numbers for the December 15 2012 Stones PPV.... will/did they release those?... or do you know what they were?

Each compilation one unit of curse (about 775,000 individual Stones' CDs)

Sadly these numbers are not public except some cases, the show didn't rank among the top 200 viewed shows on TV in the U.S that week. The #200 show got 250,000 views so the PPV sold less than that.

Thx...I had thought that at some point multiple units were counted, ie two units credited for double albums. Perhaps that's changed or I was incorrect.

Georgelicks, as i see (“Mediatraffic.de”), “Grrr!” sells very well worldwide too, ortherwise i guess it wouldn’t be between #5 and #12 during six weeks. And, according the numbers that have been reported on the particular global chart, “Grrr!” have sold 879,000 copies on it’s first six weeks (#5, #11, #11, #12, #9, #12). You mention 775, 000 and i suppose the number reffers to six weeks too.

Is there another source, more credible than “Mediatraffic”? I would like to know. Thanks!

Oh, dear. I do not have any of them...But, I have
'Flying Colors' Flying Colors
'Clockwork Angels'Rush
'Concerto' Jon Lord
'Tempest' Bob Dylan


among others..

775,000 was the number of each CD included on GRRR, that's 258,000 3CD's sets x 3.

About another source, here's a link, but I think their numbers are a bit high, anyway it's interesting too:

wow thats a pretty horrible list innit

Rolling stones 3cd-set "GRRR" sold over 320000 in germany

Thanks Georgelicks for the information.
