Heroes & Thieves:
 Amazon - #180
 Metacritic Rating - 76 (Pretty damn good for Metacritic)
 Barnes & Noble - #65
 iTunes - #12

Nolita Fairytale:
 Billboard Hot Adult Top 40 - #31

Harmonium:
 Amazon - #16,577
 Metacritic Rating - 54 (Pretty not good for Metacritic)
 Barnes & Noble - #17851

---

So, based on what everything is saying, number-wise, I think we'll be pleasantly surprised as to how well Heroes & Thieves does. #12 on iTunes is a damn good number. It's above Feist's album, which is on TV every other minute. I think we'll be happy with the sales.

This is not surprising to me, considering how much publicity it has gotten just in the promotion for H&T.  In almost every interview she has mentioned Harmonium, so people who were interested in her new material probably went "Ooh there was a second CD? Cooooooool".

you know what would be hilarious? if Harmonium became as successful or more-so than either BNN or HaT :p
I think that would just be great lol... well the success of the album anyways, but hopefully H&T will do really well first :p
actually second thought, no because V's old label would get money from the sales :S

Well, I think she does, as a songwriter, the songs are still hers.

I think there are points to an album. I know that's how it was with TLC. They got 7 points out of 100 (I think). 1 point was equal to 8 cents, so 7 X 8 = 56 cents. Everytime an album got sold, TLC would get 56 cents. So if they sold ten million copies of an album, they'd get $5.6 million.

I think the point system is the same for every artist. Dunno.

TLC's label were assholes to them.

Artists get most of their bling from tours, though.

I remember that on the LeftEye documentary. I think V would get a lot more. If an album was 9.99, I think she would get 1.50.
