Journey gets a Billboard trifecta

[Don]

Eclipse looks like it will be falling back off the chart next week or very near the bottom at least. After two TV appearances in one week, failing to break back into the Top 100 tells a lot about the public's reception to this new album.

If they want to keep COH in the shortened setlist, fine but why they don't rotate in different Eclipse tunes for the second entry is a mystery.

I did hear that Arnel has zero say in what gets played. Yeah, full member alright, but without the clout, I guess???
Maybe he needs to get a little bit of LSD.

Seeing as it's his idea to re-record Arrival, maybe that's not a good idea. No need to give that album a "second chance" when it appears when all is said and done that it will still have two to three times more sales than Eclipse will ever achieve.

Yeah, Arrival is "Thriller" compared to Eclipse.

Looking at the latest Wal-Mart in-store bestseller chart, Eclipse has fallen back to its regular position behind Revelation. The momentum from the TV promo didn't last very long at all. With no 'New release' status anymore, it just can't gain any traction.
I've read where they are telling people at the shows to buy the disc at Wal-Mart. I really think they should be pushing the iTunes avenue; we saw what that service did for the Greatest Hits with just one day of sales on Father's Day.
That dollar off promotion gave The GH five times the sales in one day that two TV appearances gave Eclipse in one week.

They need as many Walmart movers as they can get if they're going to cash in on another deal.

I guess it comes down to how weighted the Walmart sales are.

For instance are 7 Walmart sales greater than 10 itunes sales. I'd guess at this point they haven't kissed another Walmart deal goodbye..yet.

The GH moves over 10,000 discs this week bringing it up to #45 on Billboard. Hard to believe there are still that many people out there buying this album.

Eclipse drops to #186 and Escape hangs on at #198.

Would be great to see where the sales are being shipped/downloaded to see if it tracks with the tour.
