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.

Well, it was predictable that it would be digipak... it looks kinda vinyl-ish... lol  And ooooh!!!!! I guess the singed copies will have the cover signed? or the booklet? oh wait... there's a booklet... lol nvm :)

I also want to just say that this album was very well produced. I have good quality headphones, and I was listening to Dear California and Carousel, and they sound amazing.... not just because of the headphones... I think it's that she aimed for that vinyl sound... which is so clear and pretty.... :)

Make sure you all RT or post the link on your FB's, Blogs, etc. I know we all have cheap ass friends who need to listen before they buy. And well most only know the 1 song and don't care to listen so it really does help!! It's Monday, people are sitting at their desk and need some background music.  ;)

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?

JUST GOT MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO XITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

edit: I open it, and 1. the cd case is totally messed up. Bent and creased all over. I am so pissed. And the packaging inside is messed up. I asked for a return. I hope I get it.

Happend to me too some years ago, I recived a new cd, so I don't think it will be an issue  :)

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

In that case I just got a new CD, maybe they where nice as I live in Sweden, and the shipping is more expensive. When I order stuff online here in Sweden I always has to return the damage product, but maybe Swedes are a bit more greedy than americans? :P Who knows.

I didn't pre order there, or at all.. now I see that it was a good thing anyway.  SOrry you guys are having trouble.  I am having difficulty deciding if I want to buy the CD at walmart when I get out of work in the morning.  That is really the only close place to get it unless I drive a half hour to target...decisions.

Happy Rabbits On The Run day!! We've all been waiting for this day a long damn time. And it was well worth the wait. ROTR is brilliant. I am so happy that V didn't give up on making music and gave us a new record. She did it with her own money. That is incredible. Thank you!! I have no doubt that just as making this record healed and helped her, it will speak to others as well.

All of us here at Nh.com have never given up on her, even in the down years. So let's keep on spreading the word about ROTR and get that album to #1!!

We love you, V and are so proud!!

Debating on whether I should get in on Amazon with the digi-book for $10.99 or buy it on iTunes for $13.99 with the extra songs.  As much as I like to avoid iTunes, I may buy it there.

I've been listening to it nonstop today.  I had to leave the office and go walking around so I could listen to some of my favorites in quiet.  I'm enjoying this album so much!  Run, rabbits, run!

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

I went to Best Buy and they had two copies of the album so I bought both. Then I went to Target and they had three so I got another one. The one I got from Newberry had creases in the packaging so I wanted a pristine one to keep in the wrap.  I so hope the vinyls will be released today!!

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 !

Target is selling it. They messed up and put it as online only. But we have it. I work there lol, bought my copy first thing in the morning when I went in for work. :D

I stopped by BestBuy on my way to work. $9.99. They had 3. I bought 2 and left 1.

Got a text and tweet from some friends/NESSaholics about the vinyl when I was on my way to work. I tore into the parking lot ran into the building and used the front computer instead of taking the time to unlock my office and start my computer. Haha!!  :-[

There was some kind of error message so I wasn't sure if it went through. I was about to buy the vinyl again and checked my email to make sure it went through and good thing because it had.

Happy Rabbits On The Run Day!!

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 ;)

Hmm, that's weird.  According to the HMV locations here in Vancouver, there are 4 copies in one location, 5 in another, and 10 in the biggest store.  That's amazing, especially in a city where she's not very popular (unfortunately).

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 natural
HA! 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.



I thought it was her voice cracking too...  ???

It was probably her voice cracking.  :)

Well they probably use sales to determine which products they should stock more of.  If one person is buying up the whole stock, they can't trust that more people are going to come and buy more, so there's no incentive to stock more.  But if several people (or what looks like several people) are buying the product, then they'll figure there are probably MORE people who will come and buy it, so there's reason to order more.

I didn't know where to put this because  I don't think it garners it's own subject -- the album was mentioned on E! News! I just saw it this morning from last night's episode.  I don't usually watch that show but for some reason I flipped to it (during commercial break of Project Runway reruns).  He just did a one line intro and they played a clip from Carousel.

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, 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 Lately show is coming up. Don't you think that can boost the sales?

I wasn't expecting her to sell aswell as Kelly Rowland, I was just expecting to see sales of at least 10,000 (even though that's still bad). But I don't even think she's gonna pull THOSE numbers in. It's quite sad. I don't really care where it charts, but we ALL know sales are everything in this industry. We nearly didn't get this album because her last album flopped harder than a fish out of water & she was SO close to giving up.

I know R&T are a small label and are doing promo for her, but she needs something bigger than these online magazines she's been doing & stuff. HOPEFULLY these shows tonight will help. I think a kick-arse performance of "Bride" with a band & small choir would have been great.

Yeah, I know. These are projected sales I'm talking about. HDD do these every week and are fairly accurate. So for Vanessa to not be on their list is worrying from a sales point of view.

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.

I'm guessing at about 15,000...yes first week sales are very important..because this is an indie project, she could easily tour on this album for 2 years make profit from that.

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.

Post by: TRINIST on July 27, 2011, 02:53:26 pm
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 conciousness. 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.

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

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.

Exactly. I prefer digipacks, they're nicer to hold and look through. Plus I don't think this cover/artwork would have looked good in a plastic jewel case.

She's dropped down to #30, #9 on the pop charts.  I shouldn't be terribly surprised, but it's a little bit of a downer.  My guess is that all of her loyal fans bought it the moment they could, so it'll drop pretty rapidly now.  It'll be interesting to see if tonight's appearances will boost sales again.

Great to finally listen to the songs in HQ! :) The only thing that annoys me is that the papersleeve has two dents, but oh well... Also missing some more photos in the booklet.

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 : )

When I looked online for my local target, they didn't even have them in store, only online..

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

They have it, they just didn't add her under the new release end cap but a different one... dont' know why... lol I work in the department at a store. I was sly and moved her cd out front to the new release end cap. Which seemed to work because the day I did it the rest of the copies we had left were bought.

Does anyone know when the Billboard chart updates?  Tuesday morning?

I checked their site and I see they have the Week of August 6 up.

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.

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.

They won't drop her. Indie artists don't have sales that are really high, just because it's indie music (this is generally speaking).... so ya. I think that R&T recognizes that.... :)

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.

Sales are so irrelevant to her career right now. I think the label would hope for around 12-15k given that Heroes started with 18k when the industry was a lot stronger.

It went onto sell around 80k so id say anything above that would not be a realistic expectation, especially given this albums less marketable approach.

As was mentioned, touring is the revenue generator for almost all artists now - which is fuelled by strong record sales, so generating interest and marketing the tour is really the purpose of a hit cd now since the costs only usually really breakeven.

As she self-funded this CD, the only expense to the label will be the promotion, and right now that hasn't exactly been a heavy ads campaign affair, its been almost entirely artist driven. I have to admit the theyve handled her a lot better than THE INC did. Shes one of the more famous names at the label, but fame does not correlate to record sales.

Regardless of sales, people still don't have to buy the album to listen to it. They posted the whole damn thing on aol music. I mean maybe aol had to pay a heavy fee but come on.

record sales for an artist such as vanessa carlton is irrelevant, there are a whole set of indie girls and boys making a comfortable living off of sales far less than what is being discussed here. She wont have to work again after the success of her earlier hits so remember this is not necessary, and music will still find its way to us.

I entered a contest at http://www.thevinyldistrict.com/storefront/2011/07/tvd-vinyl-giveaway-vanessa-carltons-rabbits-on-the-run/
I think I'm too late with my entry but nevermind.
while writeing I came withy an idea of including titles of the songs from the album. here is my entry
"Vanessa, you're the chick
that really got into me
Love your music and your style
love it when vinyl spins fast
all the blackness hits my eyes
white RABBITS are ON THE RUN
like on a CAROUSEL
I'm in a kind of daze
all guns blazing
let me hit the wave
singing DEAR CALIFORNIA
for my FAIRWEATHER FRIEND
we're together on the roof
he tells me you'll GET GOOD
it's not the first time when she said
I DON'T WANT TO BE A BRIDE
Life goes on be a man
We're in LONDON
face the game
HEAR THE BELLS of the church
go and get her there
she'll change her mind
when she sees Jesus and his heart
These are not TALL TALES FOR SPRING
just believe in Him
He will change your lives
IN THE END you'll get your own MARCHING LINE "

I think that is a very optimistic point of view.
But in real life i think it's kind of important to sell a decent amount of albums.
If people aren't intrestead in paying for the artist album, will they pay for a show?

I don't really now, but i still where hoping for better sales.
But I think this record can get resurrected with a new single, as Martin said.

Not top 50 isn't wonderful news from a sales perspective, I doubt the label will be thrilled given that Carlton is one of their more marketable assets. But then again she self funded the production aspect so really they were just doing a and r for a share.

Given that it's a large indie label, their business model will not be solely tied to record sales. Far from it. They'll be looking for artists with rabid fanbases they can exploit at tours and online. We are that fanbase.

Real shame Carlton can't seem to break out of the shackles of A Thousand Miles though. It's like the industry are always looking to her for a repeat of that, I'm very surprised she promoted this record on the platforms she did given her current profile and marketing. I guess Razor and Tie were looking for 10k+ at least.

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.

Post by: AlexanderLaska on August 02, 2011, 04:17:24 pm
To be honest, we all kind of share in the blame for her album not doing so well.  Carousel has been a single for over two months now - how many of us took the time to call our local radio stations several times a week and request it?  How many of us linked to the youtube video on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc, etc?  How many of us played the song for our friends and family on more than one occasion?  I mean, it's easy to sit on a forum and talk about how much we love her, but we need to walk the walk if we want the next single (if there is a next single?) to do well.

Of course, I'm sure most of you have done at least some of those things, as I have, but Lady Gaga (to name one good example) didn't get to be famous by divine intervention: her fans worked their ASSES off to get her music heard back in 2008.  I don't know if any of you know a singer called Utada (she's gigantic in Japan, relatively tiny in the US), but when her English album came out, someone organized radio station call-ins to get them to play her music.  Her single never made it to the Top 40, but it did get into the Top 50.  The point being, to a certain extent it's kind of the fanbase's responsibility to get the music played, just as much as it is the artist's - and fans can only do so much, but we can do something.

Sorry for the random rant, I'm not actually angry/upset or anything, just giving my two cents on the matter since I know a lot of people are kinda bummed about her sales.

No, you misunderstood me. Vanessa's CLEARLY not motivated by money. If she was we'd have seen a different second, third and forth album. However, do you honestly think she's going to keep dipping into her bank account & losing money just to make albums no one is buying? Of course not. She's not stupid. I'm not saying album sales are the be all & end all of everything (she'll make money from her tour for one thing), but these first week sales are very worrying.

I also don't think it's fair telling us to share the blame. We're fans, not record label execs who get paid to promote her. Our "job" is to buy the music. We always push the boat out where Vanessa is concerned - the YouTube videos, talking about her on other forums, requesting her single (which I'm sure some have), BUYING the single, album (multiple copies, might I add, Twitter, fansites, etc. There's only so much fans can do.

People seemed happy with the promotion, so I didn't wanna say anything but these online magazine interviews & stuff were not going to cut it. The best promotion she's done for this project happened last week. Did the label push "Carousel"? Nope. Did they REALLY promote the album well? Honestly, no. There have been screw ups after screw ups, right from when the album first leaked, to the push back (which was a really stupid move), to leaving fans in the dark about stuff, etc. It could have been handled way better.

I can understand them not including the video stuff on the CD (although it was done in the past with Enhanced CD), but why do we lose the acoustic tracks on the CD? It's not like the disc is full.

It's a little puzzling, especially given that Ms. Carlton has been promoting vinyl as the definitive way to hear this. Why punish those of us who like physical media? Do Apple pay the labels off to get extra stuff or something?

Ah, OK. That's an OK explanation I guess. Too bad there's no way to make it available as a free download to those of us who bought the CD. As much as I love her music, I really don't want to pay for a "virtual" album to get the acoustic tracks, which aren't available separately...

I resent the implication that its the fans fault of an album doesnt do well.
We are the very people buying the albums, it's not up to a fan to spread word about an artist. It's about that artist and the label getting exposure.

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.

She will make music regardless.  She says it's good for her soul or what not.  So, even if she made music for herself she's still making it.  She will always write and play.  I think even if another official album wasn't realeased, there is always the possability of doing it on her own, maybe not to the scale that she's done this time.  Aren't there poor, beginner bands out there who make CD's even before they have record deals? She could do that even if she wanted.  There are ways.

Given the fact that I haven't heard Carousel on the radio once and most of her promotion has been on little websites I'd never heard of before, I'm not terribly surprised or all that disappointed.  An album costs, what, $10 a pop?  That means Vanessa made $65,000 this week.  Don't feel too bad for her, lol.  Let's just enjoy the music - and actually request at our local radio stations if there's a second single instead of sitting around wondering how it'll do.

This isn't her last album.

Definitely, since she wrote all the songs, helped produce, financed it, and basically did most of it herself. I don't know what sort of deal she has with R&T, though.  ???

Post by: lala on August 06, 2011, 06:09:20 am
I'd imagine since she financed and wrote the album she'd probably make around $1.50 - $2 per cd sold maybe (don't forget the label's cut, the profit needed for the retailer/distributors etc)... she probably shipped around 15,000 albums (shipped and sold albums is different)... between $22-30k. then she'll be taxed. and thats all the money she'll make off it for now, it needs to ship more copies which will come hopefully when the next single gets on radio/promoted, touring etc.

then don't forget that she actually financed the album. the money she made off shipping the album probably won't even be a profit... recording, hiring producers/technicians and travelling isn't cheap.

Yeah. Not to mention this album was recorded to tape which is hella expensive.

I think she'll be fine if she keeps touring. She seems keen on that idea, so that's good considering it's where the money is nowadays anyway.

With Vanessa i think she's pretty set for life from earlier royalties. Artists who write their own music make much higher returns on royalties. A Thousand Miles is a universal song that will be played forever and used forever.

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.

Vanessa Carlton “Rabbits on the Run”

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 . . .

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).

wow that's spectacular! Where did you find that info?  Is this a big thing as I think it is, or do tons of albums get submitted? who submits them?

"Carousel" and "Bride" have been submitted for 'Record of the Year' also.

That's all I know so far.

For anyone wondering what I mean by "submitted" - she's submitted by the label to be nominated. :)

I've just seen some official documents - which have JUST been deleted! Ugh.

Not sure. I think Irv wanted to submit 'Heroes & Thieves', but I dunno whether he did or not (the album might have just been released too late after the cut off date? Or maybe after it underperformed commercially, he just decided not to. Who knows.).

So, she's been submitted for Album of the Year ('Rabbits on the Run') and Record of the Year ("Carousel" + "I Don't Want to Be a Bride"). We'll have to keep our eyes out in the next few months to see if she gets nominated! ;) :o
