Old Chinese proverb:"When your ship is sinking, it is not wise to grab an anchor."
I'd love to find a link to actual record sales. The RIAA site only shows if it is gold or platinum and the Billboard site only shows how it charted. If we knew the sales figures we could see how the Chicks are selling post Bush Bashing as compared to pre Bush Bashing. By saying their album debuted at #1 it's accentuating the positive but if their new album only sells 1 million copies while their other 2 sold 29 million then it's a huge loss. All the free publicity from Time magazine and the MSM helped jumpstart sales but it will be interesting to see if the album will continue to sell. Target also gave me another reason to stay away, first they kick out the Salvation Army now they promote DC albums and concert tour, bleh!
