Sir Stewart Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Sarcasmeters are not performing well in JAF today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emilminty Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I think Billboard's ranking of 4 is incredibly lame and I dont understand how Wilco wasn't ranked higher. I am outraged. Everyone knows it should have been ranked 1. Who are these morons at Billboard. Are they even relevant anymore? I think this proves that Billboard, like Pitchfork and RS, is no longer relevant. Seriously? Sigh. So the interesting question will be how much staying power the album has considering going forward. Thought it was interesting to see it displayed prominently in several Starbucks I was in over the last week. If it stays there that's a good sign for the boys, saleswise.

It's the Chicago-based rock group's second top 10 album and surpasses the No. 8 entry that greeted 2004's "A Ghost Is Born," which sold 81,000. Nearly a quarter of its sales this week were snapped up via digital retailers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 This will make Via Chicago a much more interesting place, as newbies flood the boards with such scintillating topics as "Has Anybody Here Ever Seen Wilco Live?" and "What Other Wilco Albums Are Good?"

Well, you can either welcome them with open arms in the spirit of Wilco or you can be an a*hole. It's your call. Or youcan start your own message board for the "real" fans.

Or youcan start your own message board for the "real" fans. Or you can just spend less time on this board because 1) There's a limited number of things you can discuss about a band, even when it's your favorite band in the whole wide world and 2) New people are always going to discover your favorite band in the whole wide world, and all of the things you've already discussed will be new to them. It's how the world works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
