Its only going to be avalible in midwest man
Fontana is not going to just distribute in the midwest...if they were going to do that they wouldnt of even needed to sign a dist.deal they could have done that themselves.

people need to understand the differences between soundscan and riaa certifications....

soundscan deals with albums SOLD....

riaa certifications (ie: gold, platinum, ect.) deals with albums SHIPPED

having said that... here is how the double cd scenario plays out...

Multi-disc albums are counted once for each disc within the album, if the album is 100 minutes or more in total length. For example, each copy of OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (total time 134:56) and Shania Twain's Up! (145:44), both double albums, was counted twice, meaning each album was certified diamond after only 5 million copies were shipped; however, each copy of Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics will only count once despite its being a double album, as its total time is only 78:55.

^^^this is for RIAA....

for soundscan it should only scan once since it is a barcode system at POS that is sent to soundscan for them to report
great info... thanx for the clarification

LOL @ KuTTY CaL. that shit ain't doin' 200,000 the first week; that's more like a total album sales thing. i'm thinkin' maybe 30,000 the first week, hopefully more.
