Indeed. I guess you could argue that she has nothing to thank us for this time around...
Does anybody knows where can I find a sheet music for London? :) Thank you very much!
What about on iTunes? Can we get that yet?
I just checked and she is not on the top 200...What about on iTunes? Can we get that yet?
I can see top 200 on itunes store, but it's the swedish chart, and she's obviously not there, (BnN was her only album released here).
Maybe some of you in the states can check your chart?
It should include preorders, our chart does.
Digipack it is! I love that kind of packaging so its perfect! My store so far only has 3 copies.... I'll end up buying two of those lol Sorry for the bad pic. had to use my camera lol

I looked through everything the cd came with and it doesn't have it.The signed booklet!
I was hoping the booklet cover would have the vinyl artwork, where her name and the title are joined in calligraphy with the rabbits. I prefer that than the plain lettering on the digipak cover, its prettier. Is it featured anywhere on the cd packaging?

Okay good.... do you remember if you had to go through returning it and everything, or did they just say keep it and send u a new one? I would prefer to not have to pay to return it and all.... :( so mad
Do you guys think that the vinyl will be on sale on her site at midnight?
Trying not to look at the post above with the booklet.
Why is her website still showing release date as the 27th.
I preordered on iTunes but I can't seem to get into my account to see my activity.It keeps saying Sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes store at this time Even if they are making me wait til PST I should be able to access my account. Any Westcoast peeps get it?

same deal....
Yeah iTunes blatantly isn't working for me, I'm on the East Coast. Like it keeps saying the network is timing out, which is blatantly wrong because here I am posting a comment to an online forum... So I can't download the preorder OR cancel the preorder. Gosh iTunes is AMAZING at letting me down at all the right times...

Well, I'm glad that I am not the only one. I'm updating my version of iTunes, hopefully that will work
why is this happenind now?!?!?!?!?!?!?!Well, I'm glad that I am not the only one. I'm updating my version of iTunes, hopefully that will work
I just did. It still isn't working. :(
This is so fucking annoying. I take solace in knowing that at least I'm not the only one, but I'm REALLY pissed right now. Was anybody else's account charged without actually receiving the music they've charged me for??I don't know :( I either have $20.00, $17.00, or $4.00 But the deluxe album costs $12.00 so I might have.
iTunes just updated for the new week - pretty cool to see ROTR on the front page. Too bad I can't enjoy the album...
OMFG!!!! #29!!!!I am hoping she will at least make the top ten!(:
#1 iTuunes here we go! ;)
yes that would be great, i think a lot of people will be impressed with this album.OMFG!!!! #29!!!!I am hoping she will at least make the top ten!(:
#1 iTuunes here we go! ;)
THE ITUNES LP IS AMAZING.i know!! right! i wasn't expecting that at all.. is so amazing.
yeah i think the best thing to do is wait.
it may sound stupid but what is itunes LP?
Hmm, weird. Did you pre-order it before the release date change? Cause under the title it says expected release date June 21.oh i forgot about that, yes, that's what u should do.
I guess I can just cancel it and redo it. I see it says I won't be charged til I DL it.
She's at #28 now! I should take a screen grab of this! I wanna see the iTunes LP. Is there anything new in it (i.e. new pictures?)
Oh yeah, please that would be incredible. Who else is gonna be glued to the computer for the rest of the day, patiently waiting for that vinyl?

Yay! Hope everyone enjoys the album...we've waited so long for this day hard to believe todays the day. I bought my copy saturday but wanted to gift a couple copies...anyone know what best buy is charging for the album? I imagine it being really cheap the first week?
RT this on Twitter: 'Please RT: @VanessaCarlton's new album #RabbitsOnTheRun is out today online & in stores! Check it out!'
A MESSAGE FROM VANESSA
Dear Phantom Friends,
The album, the collaboration, the arts and crafts project that is Rabbits on the Run, is a vault of melodies, philosophies, and questions that will forever preserve the past three and a half years of my life. A chunk of time that has reshaped who I am and has humbled me. The process of making the record was restorative and prickly and shook me out of a ten year slumber. It was also magical. I made this record with a group of artists that I never thought I'd get to work with. On the eve of this release, as I type in to black buttons, and stare at a glowing screen in my hotel room, I feel grateful that I'm able to create music and send it out into the world like some sort of ship on the sea. It is how I connect. It is how I stay alive. I realize now that this record isn't mine anymore, it belongs to the hearts and brains of those that connect with it. And I humbly hand it over. I hope that it brings you to life in the way that it brought me to life.
Love
Vanessa

Just on a random note... on the acoustic version of Tall Tales, anyone notice how she laughs during 'color stained glass, cathedral'. just a funny note.... haha :) she's so naturalHA! Thanks for sharing that! color stained glass cathedral. :D

i just thought it was her voice cracking. huh.
I LOVE the note she wrote for us 'phantom friends' gotta love her.
on a selfish note. I hope that when the vinyl is out they dont anounce it on the FB page or twitter.......cause...damn if they run out before i can purchase one :'(

I agree. There should be a "Nessaholics' pre-order" link for us. Seriously.
AND I HOPE THEY SHIP INTERNATIONALLY!
I'm on a battle right now. I dont have enough money. A friend is trying to lend me some money. This blows im so nervous :C :'(
I saw on target.com they weren't selling it in stores so I went to walmart, though I hate to support them. album was only 10 there and they only had 2 copies. I love the simplicity !
Just got mine at the Best Buy at 62nd/B'way. They have the name listed as VAN CARLTON on the little plastic separators. Awesome, Best Buy, just awesome. 3 or 4 copies there. Way to go, R&T!!!

i dont get why joss stone is #1 on amazon (mp3). :rolleyes:
Is it common for there to only be two or three copies of an album in a big store like that?
What you should all do is buy up the 1-2 copies, then the next day go back and act really upset that you came alllll that way to buy the album but it was out of stock. Then they'll order more ;)

Just a reminder to those buying multiple copies--if you ring them up in the same transaction is only counts as one sell

Interesting. Why is that?
Amazon - #35 in music, #24 in rock, #36 in pop
iTunes - #23 in music, #6 on pop
Dammit...at work till the middle of the day and didn't know the vinyl was up for sale yet. Anyone in So-Cal purchase one? What did your total come out too? Can't wait to get home & get one!
47 bucks for a vinyl shipped to California? Pass. I love V and have supported her for 9 years, going to shows, buying records, etc but that's just rediculous...even if it is a limited print. 30 bucks for a poster is kind of crazy too? Especially when it has little detail. I get it though....they gotta make profit..stuffs not cheap to make..seems a bit steep. Oh well.
Well Hitsdailydouble didn't even mention Vanessa's sales, so I'm guessing they're awful and really low. Hardly surprising.
Well Hitsdailydouble didn't even mention Vanessa's sales, so I'm guessing they're awful and really low. Hardly surprising.
Well, I don't think it's their expectation that she will sell as many albums as Kelly Rowland. I think she will do good for an indie artist. And Leno and Latly show is coming up. Don't you think that can boost the sales?
Ummmm...the album hasn't even been out for a full 2 days?? We won't know first weeks sales until atleast next Wednesday!!! ???
Okay, so I emailed HDD and they said she's projected to sell 7-8k.
I think we all want her to do well(: but it's funny she seems quite content with where she is. She's just so humble. Sometimes I think she actually enjoys the fact that she has a small circle of fans compared to other mainstream artists.Okay, so I emailed HDD and they said she's projected to sell 7-8k.
Ok, Colbie Caillat was expected first-week sales in the 55-60k range. But she sold 70,000 copies, and she had a Leno show after the first prediction. So I think it will sell more than the first prediction! How much do you think R&T expect her to sell? God i want this album to do well.
Yeah, we all know she doesn't care much about sales and numbers, but realistically she has to make enough profit from this to be comftorable. We know She still has a tidy income from ATM, but how regular or how much that is we don't know. Especially since she paid to make this album herself. Will that cash pool dry up? What then?
She has said before how she gets disheartened by the industry and questions continuing. Whether this is due to money/success or not we don't know but she doesn't seek fame. I think theres a pretty obvious pattern emerging now that each of her albums sell a humble amount and her fanbase stick by her, she has trouble penetrating into radio/mainstream/the public conciouseness. Is this enough for her? We don't know. I doubt it will come as a surprise, she knows her place in the industry by now. Obviously we as fans want to see her do well because we feel she deserves it and to incite her to continue. However many artists do make a career on a small solid fanbase. Most of the money in music these days comes from touring. You gotta tour, tour tour! and it looks like that's what she plans to do.
Although this is a new chapter for V, I hope she wasnt pinning too much on a "comeback". I read earlier how she's "exploring my own purpose and why I exist". Figuring out her place in the world. I just hope she thinks it's with us and thats good enough for her. It's not even a case of "If at first you dont succeed, try and try again" because that comes back to sales defining success. She hasn't failed, we are her success. She's reached people, influenced people, meant something to people. She's an artist, not a business woman. That's all well and good to say, but if she can't financially afford to do it all again, that's another story. See it's a viscious circle. A Carousel! lol.
Basically it's a tricky tentative situation, this industry. We probably won't know her next move for at least a year or two. Lets not worry about sales and chart positions and just enjoy the music and this era. Never be deterred Vanessa, you're still carrying the torch like Stevie told you. It will always shine brightly to us.
PS. sorry for the long rant to reach a simple point. I'm just enjoying typing and being on the boards today lol.
Got mine in the mail today :)
(And man...not a knock on V at all, but CDs in general...packaging has gotten so cheap with the sleeves instead of plastic cases.)
In a way, it's sort of reminiscent of a vinyl record case, and that was kind of the point of the album, right? This was made for vinyl.

So did I! I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't plastic as well. Now I have to be extra careful XD

I totally ripped mine already. I thought the opening was in the middle rather than the outside (like Adele's 21)
Still haven't received mine yet. It shipped on the 20th. If it's not here by today, I'll cry.

Still haven't received mine either!! :/ We will get it a little later as we are in the Uk right?
It's up a tick to #26 now, #6 in Pop. Yeah iTunes changes really quickly. Well, Leno and Chelsea definitely helped - I'll always be grateful to them lol
If she debuted at #21, it'd be the best debut she's had since the first album!
I needed another copy for a gift today so I went to Target...SOLD OUT! Then went to Walmart..they had 2. I think it may chart okay : )

They had a big empty section with her name on it so they seemed to have had them instores
& I think the chart updates on sunday if i'm not mistaken
Does anyone know when the Billboard chart updates? Tuesday morning?

I don't see ROTR. I am trying to figure out what dates they collect the sales data for.
Yeah I saw that too, but I'm skeptical because Kidz Bop 20 is like #2, and that came out not this past week, but the week before. So I feel like maybe the date of the chart isn't actually so telling... haha. But I really don't know. I mean, I find it kind of hard to believe that she wouldn't be in the Top 200 albums for the week, haha.Does anyone know when the Billboard chart updates? Tuesday morning?

Still falling fast on itunes.
# 88 now.
Im affraid it won't even make the first prediction of 7 k.
I'm super worried about the sales. Don't want R&T to drop her, and i def do not want this to be the last album of her.
Or maybe i'm just overdramatic, I don't really now what is ok sales for an Indie-artist.
Dar Williams has been with R&T a long time, and her highest album charted at #95. So maybe sales isn't everything.
I know I shouldn't care about sales, but... I do, and less than $7,000 is just extremely disappointing. This is a really good album, I want more people to hear it, and especially to buy the album and support her work financially, regardless of whether or not she NEEDS the money.
Does anybody know the name of the person who designed the cover of the album? I wanna check out her other work if she has any :)

Oh yeah! I'll send him an email now. When he said 8k I was said "seriously?" because I was shocked. But yikes...8k would have been GREAT compared to this.
The rabbits weren't on the run for very long. :(
Hi mate,
Sorry to bother you again but I don't suppose you'd be able to tell me where Vanessa Carlton ended up charting & how much she sold in total? Don't mean to be a pain but I can't find ANYTHING online. These numbers are a disaster for her. I'm shocked.
Thanks again and have a good day, sir.
we don't really take the time to give info below the top 50….. I gave you our best guess…. check with soundscan tomorrow….. and yes, disaster

I do - I want another album. If Vanessa isn't making the money back that she invested into the album (AND make a profit) then why the hell would she want to make another album? Plus she's the writer of her songs (and writers get $$$) so she will actually make money from her album sales.

Respectfully, I think this is an overly simplistic assessment of the situation. You're assuming that Vanessa only makes another album because she thinks she'll turn a profit doing so. I would certainly not assume she made ROTR because she thought she would turn a profit - if she was motivated by money, this album would have sounded MUCH different. I think her career has shown us that is not her primary motivation whatsoever. How much money she makes this time around will not affect whether she makes a new album.
Yeah, I think you guys are being a little rediculous. It's nobodies fault. Sure, blame the label but even if this album was being shoved down the masses throats, it doesn't mean that it would be TWENTY TIMES PLATNIUM. I think Razor and Tie and Vanessa herself know her position and role in the music business. This is her least commercial album...don't worry about another album yet. Sure we all V to do well and continue to keep making music...maybe she won't go to London and record her next? Haha. V is a smart lady and I think you guys are wasting your time discussing sales/ and money issues.
Damn. Do you know how much it sold?
Rabbits on the run came in at #62 on Billboard 200.
An album costs, what, $10 a pop? That means Vanessa made $65,000 this week.

She really didn't, that's not how it works mate.

They split it between a lot of people. Vanessa probably gets the biggest cut.
Two days ago Barnes and Noble was playing the entire Rabbits album.
Yep, Vanessa is going to be fine. It would be nice if she made a decent profit from a project she spent so much time, effort and money on, however I think she is way better off financially than most think she is.

I agree, she also doesn't seem to live a real extravagant life style.
Well Pandora is now playing ROTR(:
And chocolate at Vosges is SO expensive!! I still have an easter bunny, I don't feel like eating a little piece of gold :PYep, Vanessa is going to be fine.

Maybe not in comparison to other celebrities, but NYC is very expensive in and of itself. I'm sure her "Nolita flat on rent control" is $5000 a month if not more and eating out there is ridiculous. She has designer clothes and even the small shops there are outrageous. Even the grocery store is pricey.

Do you guys have an indie chart? If so, is there a way to find out where she ended up on there?

I second that.

That's ridiculous...Where did you buy it from?!
From a local CD store. I live in Hungary, so the CD was straight from America.
Vanessa Carlton “Rabbits on the Run”
July 25th, 2011
Hey Friends,
I wanted to say hello and write to you about something I am very excited about. In a few days my friend Vanessa Carlton is coming out with her fourth album “Rabbits on the Run”. I am very proud to say I worked on this with her. I got to spend some time recording with Her, Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket, Producer Guru Steve Osborne, and wunderkind Joe Jones at Peter Gabriel’s ‘Real World Studios” in England. That time, the place, and those people, are real special to me, and resulted in a recording that I think people will be taken aback bye, and will love. I’ve been doing a bit of traveling with her as well, playing guitar, and have racked up some nice stories and pictures, which I will post when I get some more time. Here is a link to her tour diary up at papermag.com. http://tiny.cc/ni798 (http://tiny.cc/ni798)and a little video of us doing a song accompanied by Stevie Nicks . . . I mean come on! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U8Js2lAxMM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U8Js2lAxMM)

The album has been submitted to the Grammy's for 'Album of the Year'.
Just checking what other categories she's been submitted for (if any).
