GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS

In 2000, *NSYNC's No Strings Attached debuted at #1 on Billboard with one-week sales of over 2.4 million.
In 2011, Amos Lee's Mission Bell went to #1 on Billboard selling only 40,000, or 0.1% of *NSYNC's total.

:siren: THE MUSIC INDUSTRY :siren:

Where do you find the actual sales numbers? Billboard's website blows. This is really cool though, I'm glad it's dead.

Okay so it's actually a record low, not a typical modern #1 - that's pretty much what I wanted to know. For all you know the month after the NSYNC album was nearly that low. I want to know what the sales figure are week-by-week, not just the extremes.

Yeah sorry if that was misleading.
Record low #1 vs. record high #1.

It was more wishful thinking on my part - I lust for music industry death

The music industry is doing fine, they make less money but who cares. And lol at piracy, just download spotify and stream u cheap fucks.

Piracy works a lot better - you can play any song you want whenever you want on any device you want, there's no ads, there are a lot more songs available than there are on spotify. They're higher quality too if you're a nerd who cares about that. I recommend you check it out. It's not worth it for stuff you're going to listen to once but if you're going to listen to a song/album a second time, pirate it.
