Sales for TGW

Finally found out how much TGW sold in it's first week!

10 703 copies. As far as I remember it went out of Top 40 the next week, so total sales is UK must have been around 15K? Maybe 20K?

Sry if this is old news, and has been posted before

I have no idea about that..
But in a small country (like Norway) where 15k is actually pretty good, most artist can live on those sales. So I guess it did make a small profit.

My auntie calls her boyfriend 'matey' so much that I don't know what his real name. Now I feel like I've invited SoS to my wedding. Dear Lord

If SATT does well, I wonder if it will pick up a few more sales.

Best of 2006?

It's good, for sure, but I think you should listen to more music.

I imagine Send Away The Tigers as an alchemic merger of The Great Western and I Killed The Zeitgeist. Bad Boys And Painkillers and Émigré could have made it onto Send Away The Tigers, and Stab Yr Heart and I Killed The Zeitgeist are just massive. Sehnsucht and The Shining Path are brilliant too.
