Record Sales Charts
Indie Rage has compiled for you a record sales chart of what
bands have sold over the years, gathered from many resources.
This
is not a complete listing, but it high lights bands that interest us, so
check it out.
Some
listings may seem whacked, but that is because older records sometimes
do not get re valued over time, like Kiss. Also, bands can be listed as
going Gold (500,000) with actually selling only half that. But in general,
these charts are fair over all. It changes as time goes on.
All Dates as of 2001
