I'm curious how many records each album sold. Does anyone know?

Posted: **Tue May 03, 2005 7:41 pm**

i remember hearing 20,000 somewhere...

I heard that City has sold over 10,000 and Alien Sold over 3000 in the first week alone.

Shit 10 000 City only? That's not a lot!

What about his solo albums? Like Ocean Machine or Terria?

Well I've purchased one of each!

and so did i, so thats 2 count for each album :lol:

Im assuming the figures arent that high, unfortunatly. I think Devin is capable of selling many more records if more people would listen to them. Everybody i have introduced has had something good to say about it, but they seem too set in their music to welcome another band.

I think he does fairly well over here in Aus(in relation to the rest of the workd anyhoo), Alien was even charting in one of my local cd shops as a top seller for that cd Chain, for at least a few weeks. No idea what the figures would be though...

I really think that dev needs to get his music on the itunes music store. I hardly ever buy cd's these days. it would be a great way to get some exposure and in turn boost sales.

It's unfortunate that Devin's music hasn't reached more people around the world.

Alien, however, seems to have infiltrated every record shop I know, even the ones I frequent that don't usually stock metal.

...and with my help it's even three. Hooray.

I certainly can confirm that Alien, at least here in Germany, is doing pretty well (of course, not really "well"... just compared to previous albums) concerning the attention it gets and concerning sales figures. - Maybe at least for now I should forget what I read about the SYL shows over here some weeks ago (150 - 200 people??!! That's a shame), but I think with every album, SYL got bigger and bigger... But again, the term "big" is just used in comparison.
I'm not sure about Devs other albums... Are there any other countries except from Japan where he charted pretty good and reached top ten positions?
Don't get me wrong, the success of a record doesn't affect my tastes (I think everyone who listens to dev can say that, ha!)... Just curious

they had a little display of metal at A&b sound (big cd store) and alien was there beside like metalica, iron maiden, dream theatre, slayer and i think lamb of god... i thought that was funny ^^

I think he sells as well as he needs to. Don't know the actual figures though, I'd like to.
