There's no official chart in Chile, the market is so small (about 90% is streaming and ilegal sales) that even GOLD albums (5,000 copies sold) are so rare nowadays, only 2 albums in 2016.
Maybe, but 62412 people paid to see them in concert last year.

Of course, the money is there, album sales are not relevant anymore, you need to sell over 5 million copies to get real money from sales and I can't think on more than 4-5 acts worldwide doing it.
Just think in Argentina, they can sell over 151,000 tickets in 14 hours while their last album has yet to reach 20,000 copies sold after 2 months being #1 or #2 on the charts.

But earlier in this thread I thought you said that Universal should be making $12-15 million on B an L sales if 1.5 million or so?
Isn't that a reasonable return?

I'm talking about real money, you can do the math, $12-15 million split between:
- Record label
- Production, studio and marketing costs
- Publishing rights
- Band members and musicians on the album
With so many people around you need big numbers to make a profit.

These are covers, so profits will be lower, correct? Do they have to pay the estates of the original songwriters?
And no publishing rights, correct?

Album's 9th week is the first outside the Global Top 10. Media Traffic only publishes Top 10 (and some others outside it, but 'B and L' is not included in the current report). I suppose now we need Georgelicks to have informations about the exact album's positions on the Global Chart (Top 20 or Top 30, etc).
Surpassed ER, in a month or so Voodoo Lounge in times where record sales are much less. CongratsQuote

#16 in the UK during the 10th week selling another 4,500 copies, 306,500 copies sold so far. It was certified PLATINUM last week.
Satisfaction just got a Silver Certification too in the UK for sales over 200,000 since 2004, it's their 4th song to sell over 200k during the digital era after Paint It Black (certified GOLD, over 400k since 2004) and SFTD / Gimme Shelter (SILVER, both over 200k since 2004).
