I don't really know. It will most-likely go multi-platinum, and maybe out-sell, meteora. I'm not sure if it will go diamond, but maybe.
this was as big dissapointment as Spiderman 3!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant believe they both turned EMO, its like a freaking plague... there's no edge at all, i cant believe i was yawning hearing this horrific boring album... and im not happy saying this because i love tha band, i wish everything goes well for the guys but im not buying this album... this isn't even rock anymore its like Maroon 5 mixed with something reaaaaly bad... and i was one of the people waiting for a change not somethig this bad good luck anyway... i wish this thing flops badly so the guys realize that this isnt the right path to go but i know it probably go well becaus of how much fall out boy/basktreet boys with guitars this piece of "whatever" has...
You have to look at this as a fan of Linkin Park, not as a fan of the genre. If you're a fan of LP, then you'll love the album as you'll know that they have matured their sound/lyrics. But if you're a fan of the Nu Metal genre, then this absolutely will not be what you expected. I look at it from the LP fan side.
Reading through this thread, I couldn't help thinking that Emperor sold 0.5 million albums in their career, but I'm guessing $5 million +.
Well I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that AOL represents a huge portion of what the general public will think of this album. So, in that, Minutes to Midnight should outsell Meteora and possibly Hybrid Theory.
well ... i bought the whole album today. and i f**king love it! but i have no idea in predicting the sales.
