Why do people believe that a top 5 single is something indispensable? Look at the facts.. According to Wikipedia, "Love is Strong" became "the lowest charting first single ever by the band", atleast in the US market. But, if i'm remember correctly, "Voodoo Lounge" became the best selling Stones album since 1981! ABB album have sold better than "

I like the raw sound of the SAL album and the guitar work on the big majority of it's songs. Especially on JJF, Shattered, She Was Hot, All Down The Line, Some Girls, PIB and others. I consider SAL as one of the four best Stones live albums. The worst Stones live album? IMO is "Love You Live", by far. And for sure "LYL" includes the weakest Mick's performances, dear

Hey, folks, we' re talking about an album created 38 years ago. "Exile" sells very well worldwide. An album from 1972, on Global Chart is #1 on the first week and it goes to #4 on it's second week. I think sales couln't be better.

Now i see that "Exile" is #4 on Global Chart, with 107,000 second week sales. Total sales 271,000 so far. Very good!

"31,000 units sold in the UK would be equivalent to over 150,000 in the US." Yes Gazza, but by the look of it, album sales in the US are droping off dramatically these days . Could we talk about real equivalence between US market and UK market? I don't know. A few years ago, an album selling 76,000 copies would be on the tighr rope, on the limit - "in" or "out&quo

I can't believe it... Now in 2010 a Stones album from 1972 goes to #1 on UK chart, on #2 on USA chart and you guys are complaining? "Exile"'s peak positions (now, not in 1972!) are just like "Aftermath"'s positions in 1966 (UK#1, US#2), a bit better than "Let It Bleed" positions in 1969 (UK#1, USA#3) and better than "Between The Buttons"

Thank you! Hey, tumblingdice, the son was born in 2009 (September 25) but, don't worry, i can find connection(s) between the fact and "Exile".

Great! Great news for symbolical reasons… I mean, actually, charts peak positions aren't a clear figure as for the level of the sales. Peak positions are depending on the conditions of every week. "Some Girls" went to #2 on UK chart, "Voodoo Lounge" went to #1, but i suppose "SG" did better than "VL" in british market, as anywhere else. But, as i s

"Rumors" (1977) sold over 30 million copies. Three times more than what "Some Girls" have sold. Do you think this fact makes Fleetwood Mac bigger than the Stones?

Who really thinks that AC/DC is bigger than Stones, Beatles,
