Journey's Eclipse #1 on Walmarts best seller list

[YoungJRNY]

Okay, I broke down, just like I did on the Revelation clips but I only listened to ONE song and I picked "Someone" and it absolutley blew me away.

I'm seriously busting for this album, big time. The creative juices are flowing here and the band is in some hardcore synch right now.

Still no audio clips for Eclipse on the Wal-Mart site. Granted, they're out here on the net for the hardcore fans but when do you demo the stuff for casual fans perusing through Wal-Mart's Online music selection?

Smart move. The same reason crappy movies don't advance to reviewers. They need all the initial sales they can get.

Dude, your avatar ...

I was on the walmart website today and noticed Journey's Eclipse right on the front page of the music section. Also noticed that Eclipse is #1 on the top 100 best sellers list for albums, while Def Leppard's Mirrorball comes in at #2. Two classic rock bands taking the top spots, pretty cool. Neither album hasnt even been released yet either. Pre-order sales must be doing really well for both bands so far.

Here's the link: http://www.walmart.com/browse/Music/_/N ... 73&ic=96_0

I always like it when I see this for older bands and singers.

Yep. I'll be all over Journey and Leppard with these releases. I'm actually as pumped for Mirrorball than I've for a Leppard album since Slang this is long overdue, the live concept.

Once the physical CD is out it will sell very well for a little while but lets face it CD's are on the way out. Sales are way down and will continue to slide... sad, I like the tactile, real CD, Album in my hands.

I prefer the vinyl versions.. man I miss going to the record stores, thumbing through the record bins and hanging out on release days... kids these days have no idea how much fun that was..

Not much momentum with the Eclipse album. It continues to drop on the Walmart bestsellers now down to the #8 spot. Really odd, I would have thought it would increase as it gets closer to the release date and its doing the opposite.

Heres the list this week:

1. Def Leppard-Mirrorball
2. Kiss-SonicBoom
3. Adele-21
4. Richard Marx-Stories to Tell
5. Now Thats What I call Music 38
6. Lemonade Mouth Soundtrack
7. Yolanda Adams
8. Journey-Eclipse

I agree! I used to LOVE getting a cd on release day. I must admit, it's been MANY years since I've purchased anything on vinyl. Probably not since right after cassettes came out. I also ditched cassettes once cd's came out. I also remember when I was a kid, waiting for the delivery truck to make it's stop at our local store with comic books. I was a HUGE fan of "Swamp Thing" comic books when I was younger, and had every issue up until around issue # 75. I LOVED tearing that plastic off and smelling the pages as I opened it. I stopped reading them when I was around 13 (when I started noticing how much cooler the girls were) .

I still miss those days, and the anticipation of waiting an entire month to find out what the next comic was going to be! That's a sensation that todays youth will never experience, and it's pretty sad. If they can't listen to it, purchase it, or download it within seconds, they don't want it. I sure miss the old days...

No worries. There a plan in place and the first week sales will be excellent.

Posting from my iPhone4, Jim.

Repeating myself here but I fully expect it to debut at #2.
Like Frontiers, it will have the bad luck of being released behind a juggernaut album.

Nice shirt Don! You showing off that you're on vacation there or what, fucker? Just messing with you.

Kinda surprised to see Sonic Boom at number 2 since it was released in October of 2009

That's actually considered work apparel here in SoCal.

The last thing I bought on Vinyl was Raised on Radio. I was pumped! Really loved it at the time, too.
