I'd say your efforts produced some good results! I've never seen any Tech N9ne albums in a KMART store, but our smaller-sized KMART in my town had four, and sold every one! Hopefully, you can get some media giants across this country to spin Bout Ta' Bubble now!:classic:
Say Travis, are ya'll gonna press up more Anghellic/Absolute Power? Or is that outta your hands?

Good talk here. I agree with Trav. These damn cd stores are going out of business. I was looking for a cd a while back and I was at Westminster mall here in colorado and they dont have no cd stores. There were a few I knew of and they were closed down. We now have only 1 FYE store, 1 Virgin Megastore, 1 Twist and Shout store, 1 Independent record store, 1 Cheapo Discs, and 1 Budget Cd's and Things store. That is all the fucking record stores in and around denver colorado I cant believe that. There are not too many place to buy music anymore besides online. I am very dissapointed in that. With all this downloading and cds being leaked its fucking up the industry along with non-talented artists they try to market such as K-Fed. Come on what happened to my music world Im used too. I believe Tech will change the music industry and it will be poppin again it will happen in time we just need to keep supporting him along with all Strange music artists they will change this shit.
One last thing. I feel honored that Denver was listed as one of the top 5 soundscan somethin or other that sold the most Everready cd's. Tech gets lots of love here in Denver. Glad to see he moved up to the Fillmore. Its lookin up. Dont give up Tech Fuck The Industry!!!!!

Thanks for solidifying what I've said from the start about the numbers game, O'. Some people just don't get it!
It's not just the downloading of leaked CDs either, guys. This is the so-called "digital age" now where online stores like iTunes that sell individual songs for $0.99 are over taking record stores. I'd like to blame years and years of bad pop music for it.... but like trav said, it is what it is. I have iTunes and an iPod. I have baught single songs from it, but it sucks IMO. I like buying CDs and importing them into iTunes. I like the tangibility, I guess.
And Trav, If Chamillionaire can win awards off of "Ridin' Dirty" (a slang phrase that I had hopes of being dead 10 years ago)... Tech can definitely use his Indie and top 50 chart status to get this virus pumping!

I was thinking, this first week sales is that only in America, or worldwide? cause i was thinking, im from Denmark, and people been talking about this album for months, and shit was really hyped. and i know for a fact alot of people copped that album here in Denmark. and this is a really small country, so i could only imagine elsewhere in Europe. people would buy his shit just as much as us!?? or whats up.. i know not alot of stores over here, got the Tech cd for sale, but we have so many stores who can order cd's home, which i know alot of dudes did,..
Yeah he gets alot of respect over here for sure, the most popular hiphop forum in Denmark got lots of threads about Tech, and people reviewing, giving their opinion and shit.. and basicly, they LOVE the album.. im just one of the lucky once who got to see him on Roskilde Festival..
But Yeah, i dont know what stores sell over here? the stores over here, really dont got that kind of records (underground) there's a few hiphop stores who got the albums.. but almost every shop over here, you can tell them to order it home for you.. so thats cool, its just normally takes like 1-2 weeks :S

i didn't know where to post this, so i chose here...anyway, i noticed that "the beast" has surpassed bout ta bubble in number of downloads on iTunes and is now the third most-downloaded song by tech after i'm a playa and imma tell...i wonder if strange will take this success in to mind when selecting the next single even though the song has been out for a while
