You can follow @chartnews on Twitter. It says that the worldwide sales till now are 1,068,000 (In 7 weeks)

And @Philsfan, I don't think BID was the #1 Rock song last week. Wasn't it Some Nights? Sorry if I'm mistaken.

Nope, it was #1 last week. "Some Nights" never made it to #1. It was once again replaced by Green Day's "Oh Love".

Oh sorry. My bad. I meant the #1 Alternative song last week was Some Nights, wasn't it?

[Filip]

I love how LP are the only artist who have at least one song from each album to reach #1 on Alternative Songs.

Also, Some Nights is a freaking awesome song.

They're also the only band to have an album with 5 #1's.

[Krishnan]

They're also the only band to have an album with 5 #1's.

METEORA!

[Filip]

They're also the only band to have an album with 5 #1's.

Yep, Meteora is the most successful album ever on that chart...

Sorry for the late reply, I lost my internet connection for the last 7 days

I got it from mediatraffic, or if you want more accurate numbers (nearest hundreds) you can try musiccharts.net. Musiccharts counts some countries that Mediatraffic doesn't, and vice versa.



And thanks to luvelee for posting, Living Things has OFFICIALLY CROSSED THE 1M MARK WORLDWIDE

[Blackee Dammet]

Chugging along pretty good for an album that hasn't dropped a single since April.

BID did incredibly good on charts, in my opinion...

[Krishnan]

BID did incredibly good on charts, in my opinion...

Yeah, It did much better than The Catalyst.

[Philsfan]

Yeah, It did much better than The Catalyst.

"The Catalyst" peaked higher in the Hot 100, though and lasted more weeks in the Alternative Songs chart. "The Catalyst" peaked at #27 while BID peaked at #30, but Catalyst quickly fell off the chart and BID is still stuck in the 50s. So yeah, it's doing well.

Is Burn It Down close to going gold yet?

[Philsfan]

Is Burn It Down close to going gold yet?

In other countries, yes, but in the US, it doubt it. It took a year for WFTE and Catalyst to get Gold.

[Hans Muster]

In Germany, Burn It Down is the most successful LP single, peaking at #2. In Switzerland, it's the first LP single to get gold. In France, it's the first LP single in charts since 2007. In Spain, it's the first LP single to chart since Numb/Encore. It's also the third LP single to chart in Denmark, after In the End and Numb/Encore.
