Manila DVD Debuts at #1 on Billboard DVD Chart

[Don]

Wow, after ripping the audio from the DVDs and listening with headphones- Gotta agree with Matt. The sound isn't great. GREAT performance, but the sound is definitely not as good as it could've been. A bit muddy. Still cool though.

Headphones are the ultimate test. I can't take all the credit though for pointing out the sound issues, plenty of others have voiced that critique as well. It's just a very disappointing mix.

The whole point I was hoping to see this go to Blu-Ray is for the uncompressed audio. Judging by the sound on my PB version, I'm really hoping this is just Shirley tweeking shit and the originally recorded audio is still available to include on a more enhanced version. This just doesn't sound right, sort of muffled like the way NWA sounds on the Revelation Disc. It's not a movie so video is secondary here. Just give us the original audio on Blu-Ray and all will be good.

I don't deny Journey sold a lot of DVDs but I don't see their name anywhere on this list.

Obviously by the DVD's on that list, it's music only. Also, given selections 7 and 8, it looks like anyone lands on this list at some point. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile

By the way, nice haircut for your boy "Arny". I just tipped off CNN so look for Larry King's call next week!

The list I linked is an overall list. That's why you see TV shows along with movies. Billboard has various charts broken into different catagories (Health and fitness, Sports and recreation, music videos, etc.). The list you are showing is music Videos only. If a DVD sold over 50,000 copies, it would be on the list I posted above, regardless of catagory.

[Don]

To sell 800,000 DVDs, you would have to print that many knowing if the didn't sell, you would take a huge financial fall. I don't think that happened. Unless each store had given the title the same amount of shelfspace that they gave Monters Vs Aliens, it's not even plausible. I think a Typo was made somewhere.

Moving that many DVDs, Journey's name would be on every a DVD/Music site out there as that would make it 8x Platinum. (100,000 = Platinum in music DVD sales)

It's mixed up and taken from the 800,000 Revelation number that was out there for a while and pasted onto different articles I feel almost sure, not positive. Too coincidental that number.

I'm sure the DVD is selling very well and has a great chance of going platinum.

This reminds me of Journey touting on the their website about DSB being the most downloaded song ever.
Then you see in the actual article, they're talking catalog tracks, not overall downloads (it's currently at #42, overall)

To the band's credit, the 800,000 DVDs sold number didn't make a headline on their website.

But is it safe to say that MOA reached platinum on it's first week?

Not only debuted at number one on the music DVD chart, but it actually had the second best DVD debut sales week of the year.

It doesn't say they sold 800,000 DVDs. The press release says that by the time of the Manila concert, 800,000 copies of Revelation had been sold.

JOURNEY DVD SEES HUGE SALES
This news is brought to you by VH1 Radio's Dave Basner

Nearly 30-thousand people went to see Journey when they played in the Philippines earlier this year, but it seems there were plenty of other fans out there that wished they could be there. For those folks, the band released the concert on DVD and 800-thousand Journey fans went out to buy that disc. Live in Manila not only debuted at number one on the music DVD chart, but it actually had the second best DVD debut sales week of the year. Learn more about the disc and the band at JourneyMusic.com.

I'm not questioning your reading comprehension. I'm trying to clear something up. If I'm questioning anything, it's your understanding of press releases. Any info that a news organization has about the DVD topping the sales charts the first week came from the band's press release. What they choose to include or not include from the press release is up to them. If they want to add some commentary, they can do that too - and that's where VH1 got their info wrong.

[ttango1]

Does it really matter, they got #1 at something. That's cool with me and I'm sure cool with them too. It just shows, even in limited market and in a down economy, there are fans out there buying enough to make it #1 in a category.

Even with MJJ gone, his numbers for this Associated Press article is a number 2. For Journey to do what they did is remarkable.

That's good. No it doesn't matter, but then they go into comparing it with their former "famed frontman, Steve Perry's," release at a point when he wasn't even around, with the replacement singer who has been said to be singing a "lion's share of the greatest hit." I guess that's to be, huh? Steve Perry hasn't actually performed with the band in over 22 years. No rerecords with Steve Perry for he sang on those hits that have sold over 40 million. By the way, what are the numbers and when was MJ's first release? Sorry!

Knack for the obvious. Past tense is what you said. Present tense has Journey with a #1 in a category. It is what it is. Steve not doing anything at all is his choice and his alone.

Nobody's doing anything. Journey is taking 2010 off from touring. We should get a new album though. Ya never know, the band and Pineda could say it was a fun couple years and we accomplished something, but it's time. AP could probably live for the rest of his days on what he earned the last couple years.

NO CHANCE they release an album in 2010 and don't tour behind it. Either the album is out in 2010 and they tour behind it in 2010, or it comes out in 2011 and they tour behind it in 2011. There's no way they release an album in 2010 and don't do an album tour.

(unless the album comes out in late 2010 and the tour starts in early 2011 )

Nobody's doing anything. Journey is taking 2010 off from touring. We should get a new album though.

NO CHANCE they release an album in 2010 and don't tour behind it. Either the album is out in 2010 and they tour behind it in 2010, or it comes out in 2011 and they tour behind it in 2011. There's no way they release an album in 2010 and don't do an album tour.

(unless the album comes out in late 2010 and the tour starts in early 2011 )

I suspect they head into the studio next month since AP is coming back to the states to appear as a guest to represent Filipino heritage night at Golden State. So, what's it take 3-4 months to release an album? As you stated, I doubt it will be out before late 2010 at the earliest.

Well, I hope it's not next month. Arnel's voice sounds tired. He shouldn't be doing all these appearances straight off the end of a tour and should be a monk in his house from now on resting his voice if they're really going to record in November in a month. I have a feeling they're not recording in November since they're not touring next year, but what do I know.

Does it really matter, they got #1 at something. That's cool with me and I'm sure cool with them too. It just shows, even in limited market and in a down economy, there are fans out there buying enough to make it #1 in a category.

Even with MJJ gone, his numbers for this Associated Press article is a number 2. For Journey to do what they did is remarkable.

That's good. No it doesn't matter, but then they go into comparing it with their former "famed frontman, Steve Perry's," release at a point when he wasn't even around, with the replacement singer who has been said to be singing a "lion's share of the greatest hit." I guess that's to be, huh? Steve Perry hasn't actually performed with the band in over 22 years. No rerecords with Steve Perry for he sang on those hits that have sold over 40 million. By the way, what are the numbers and when was MJ's first release? Sorry!

Knack for the obvious. Past tense is what you said. Present tense has Journey with a #1 in a category. It is what it is. Steve not doing anything at all is his choice and his alone.

Article did not mention rerecords included in #1 DVD, but it went on to cite other things. Just felt like keeping things in perspective. Would that be truth or consequences?

WTF is your point exactly?

I can't figure out what he's talking about half the time.

Half the time? Then you're doing better than me.
