People don't buy music anymore. That number from Keith is fairy impressive when you consider that Main Offender entered the charts at #99 and sold far fewer records in an era when people actually paid for/bought music.

This.

Keith Richards enters the Global Chart at #4 with Crosseyed Heart

Global Chart = the top-selling albums according to global sales figures and national album charts
issue date: September 30, 2015

[www.mediatraffic.de]



P.S. Shouldn't this be the definitive chart as it includes all sales from around the world? Just wondering.

P.S.S. The Stones topped this chart in 2005 for either 2 or 3 weeks with "A Bigger Bang"

Impressive mumbers, anyway. # 4 on Global Chart, with 93,000 copies sold... Last week, the album that got #1 only sold 159,000 copies. That's the level of the sales today.

As I said earlier, it surprises me the fact that some people can't undestand how pointless some comparisons are. That's a Keith's album, don't count it's success by the measures of a Stones album. Just remember what "Talk Is Cheap" and "Main Offender" did in the past. GH sells much, much better.

And the comparisons with David Gilmour are totally pointless. Once again: Keith is an iconic guitarist of a legentary band. David was an iconic guitarist AND singer of another legendary band. Speaking about the so called general public, the difference is huge: Any David's solo album seems and sounds like an good Floyd's "representative". But Keith's albums are not "working" this way - Mick's voice would be neccessary for that...

Maybe for the hardcore Stones fans Keith's singing is a part of the deepest part of band's soul. But for the "general public" Keith is an iconic guitarist who "can't sing"...

Bravo, Keith! A very good album of you, selling better than ever!

Yep I'd like to hear all the demo's, all the outtakes, all the different mixes, all the extended versions, and any tune that may have been left off altogether.
Perhaps he's saving those for a "Deluxe" version some time in the future! winking smiley

I think the sales are impressive, and totally deserved. After two weeks of listening, I still love this album.
Does anybody know whether there will be a release of a single + videoclip from this album soon? (It would be hard to pick a song for it. Lover's Plea? Illusion?)

They could start with decent audio for Trouble on YouTube. I'd pick Heartstopper for a second single if there is one.

I haven't seen the Trouble video-clip.

Ah, cool. Although it needs HTML5 to watch it, so I cannot watch it now (Linux). I'll watch it later when I'm at home. Cheers.

Good choice. Nothing On Me or Love Overdue could have been contenders, imo.

Unfortunately Nothing On Me is the one track that I've not yet learned to love.

I love this CD, have listened to it many times, both in the established track order and have also tried variations and each tune just grows and grows. The only thing that takes me out of the moment - very briefly - is when Norah Jones starts singing in "Illusion". She has a beautiful voice but at first it sounds like Keith took a whiff of helium before singing the next verse.

Strange, that very moment to me is the highlight of the record...!

+1. And Keith's best vocals ever, imo.

Really?! Can you hold them up to the light for me and point out the specialness?
I'd love to hear what you're hearing. For me those vocals are fine, but nowhere near "best" territory.

As for next possible singles...

Since the first was a 'rocker', I'd expect something in the slower to mid-tempo vein.
Illusion could be a contender. Not only is it a great tune all around, but with Norah Jones singing it might work to bring in a different batch of fans.
If Mick can do it with T.Swift (as some have claimed), Keith can do it with Norah but in a more legitimate way!
There's also the possibility of Robbed Blind, as well as Suspicious - still one of my favorites since day one.

Eventually Amnesia could be a contender as it has an all around good vibe sound-wise, and is something any fan of rock music could get into.
I find myself bouncing and bobbing while dancing in my head whenever I listen to it.

I can see Illusion's appeal as a single, too. Nice, easy listening vibe to it. It would be awesome to see Keith and Norah Jones performing it on the Grammy's. smiling smiley

Haha I was expecting some typical old age jokes, or an all around complete trashing.
But instead the complete opposite, and while I don't agree with them, it shows that Keith diehards abound.
