I get so confused. LOL. To me this album passed all expectations and then some. How could a die hard stones fan not love this album? I've been waiting for this baby since 1981. I actually took a 3 day hiatus from it and put it back on tonight on my drive home from work. It's great. There are some songs that are better than others, but I would say there isnt one real crap song on it. All of great in their own way. Maybe some folks have gone so long without hearing really new good worthy stuff that this album has thrown them for a loop. Just joking. To each their own but I love this album.

Was looking for these numbers, thanks, dropping like a "stone" it seems, unlike Gilmour, still #3 in the UK and France.

Its curious that hardly anyone has given a mention to Steve Jordan. The man has help sway Keith from retirement and done a fantastic collaboration with Keith in song writing and production. I know its Keith's songs mostly, but i wonder if its possible to gauge what percentage of input on this album has come from Mr Jordan

I know people here are excited about Keith's album (and I was excited about it as well). Bought it the day it came out and playing it steady ever since (along with Gilmour's album). But really......rating every song 5 stars....please. I mean if everything is "classic", then nothing is classic. 5 stars to me is rarely if ever given out. Very few things are, and should be, labeled classic otherwise the rating means little. there is virtually NOTHING on this album that is truly classic - closest is Robbed Blind. Its a very good album and there is nothing wrong with that. Keith can be proud, but classic. Let's put things in perspective. Sticky Fingers, Dark Side of The moon, London Calling, Ziggy Stardust - those are classic. Not this album....by a long shot. And by the way, Gilmours album is very good as well...and not a classic either.

Down 11-45 in the U.S with about 10,000 overall units, total sales at 44,000 after 2 weeks.
It looks like a 5-6 weeks stay on the Top 200 and 65-70k total by the year's end.

I owe you an apology georgelicks, you certainly know the industry.
I thought someone on here a few days ago said it sold 134 thousand copies so far.
I find it depressing the way artists get virtually no rewards any more for creating great music. I don't think songs from the heart and soul are what the powers that be want for us. They have no control over that. It all goes over the heads of you guys..

The 134,000 number is WORLDWIDE sales. Not much chance of it even selling 100,000 in the U.S. when all is said and done.

Well all you Debbie Downers, I love Crosseyed Heart as I have stated throughout in detail, right now I need an emotional rescue, I've been following delivery tracking of my CH CD from KR website, and it's being delivered TODAY. I have half convinced (more than half) myself it's signed by Keith! I am taking this personally. The wait is killing me.
P.S. an old boyfriend bought me an 'authentic certified' autograph picture framed of Mick Jagger some years back, it sits buried in a drawer somewhere (safe) but I'm not really connected to it, but this is totally different. A signed CH to ME from Keith, whom I loved forever, of the incredible new 2015 Crosseyed Heart, well... I feel like a silly basket case. Like my fate/ future luck depends on whether this is signed or not.

Firstly, the number you mention reffers to the FIRST ONE week according to one of the two wellknown Gelbal Charts. The other has reported 93.000.
Secondly, with respect, but all this moaning became o joke... Keith does his FIRST commercial success (just remember what his previous albums did) and some people here, who obviously have no idea about the level of the sales and the market's situation today, are mourning. God knows for what...
Keith's album debuted at # 4 or #5 worldwide (it depends on which Global Chart you trust more). After having seen the numbers, I say it's impressive the fact that CH has sold on its deput much better than albums of many younger famous artisis/ bands, like Ryan Adams, Gary Clark, Stereophinics, Prince, Motorhead, Joe Satriani and others (I posted the exact numbers earlier, somewhere on this thread).
Of course we have to draw comparisons for the upcoming weeks too. I will do it... But it already seems that Keith has a unparalleled success, by HIS measures of course, not by the Stones standards.
Some years, some decades ago, Keith would not conclude in his craziest dreamland the hope that one day he could hit Global Top 5 and stay for some weeks (let's see) on Global Top 40, with a solo album. So, stop this unfounded wailing!
