Brand New Takes Aim at Number One

First #1 for them?

 

By far.

 

Yessss, much deserved!

 

Brand New potentially having a number one album in 2017 is insane.

 

What they have built is truly amazing. I would absolutely KILL to get a Brand New documentary one day showing some insight into the minds of these guys. Or even what life was like for those 8 years between Daisy and Science Fiction.

 

Also, I wonder how long it will take for the clueless music media to write about this hip new band called "Brand New" taking the charts by storm, ha!

 

I swear to god if TSwift drops her album and takes this away from them.....

 

So cool.

 

Probably going to happen.

 

Hopefully she just releases a single.

 

That's absolutely wild. I'm sure there are a million and one reasons we're not privy as to why they're planning to end it in 2018 but having their new album go number 1 and playing some of the biggest venues of their career must make it tempting to keep going.

 

who needs marketing lead up? Not Brand New. I doubt this includes all the sales from their website.

 

Here ya go

 

wow

 

Holy shit.

 

That's fucking awesome.

 

Did this ever end up on Spotify? If they can go #1 without one of the major streaming services, that would be even more impressive than it already is.

 

Yeah

 

Spotify/streaming will be a very limited number of the total tally. At least 90% of their sales will be from people buying the album/vinyl/download. In fact that projection is showing 1k from streaming (SPS sales inlcudes sales counting streaming, so the 56-61k; the album sales is just direct purchase, showing 55-60k.)

 

Really impressive. No lead up or anything... unless you count the 8 year build up after Daisy.

 

this is fucking nuts

 

awesome.....I found this article on the album very interesting and makes the album even more enjoyable Brand New’s ‘Science Fiction’ lyrics and callbacks, explained by fans - Features - Alternative Press

 

It is entertaining to see how fast the listen totals are rising every time I open spotify. Even though I know that won't accumulate to much of the charts total, I'm rarely listening to anything that hits these totals ever, let alone in less than the first week.

 

Happy to have bought and contributed to this
