Billy Corgan - "I want my Smashing Pumpkins back&qu

Fair enough. But there were plenty of people that remained interested after Siamese Dream. I think the case could be made the Adore is the most interesting Smashing Pumpkins album.
Any further details on that? I didn't realize that D'Arcy was into la cocaina. Doesn't surprise me in the least. Has she been arrested or anything like that?

D'arcy's coke addiction was evident during the 1999 Arising! club tour, she looked awful, and that's commonly listed as the reason she left the band in October of that year. She has since been arrested for it once. She's virtually disappeared since then.
That's too bad…poor gal.

usually when they count CD sales they count the INDIVIDUAL CD, so if a double album sells 2 million copies, it gets credit for 4 million … i'm guessing that's the case here …
ao a 10 album box set that sell 100K boxes is really a million seller?

Actually you're half-right; they do count for two, but I don't believe the author counted them as such. I know I have seen MCIS' 8x and 9x platinum record awards, so I guess the real figure is 9.4 million?

Actually, I believe so. Also, there are different sales levels for boxsets, I believe.

not that it matters, but i believe it was crack she was caught with.
too soon..
And an ep that sells 100,000 is really a 50K seller?

i dont think so. i believe the sales levels are the same. and each unit in the box set does count as one unit towards certification.

so yes, if you had a 10 disc box set and sold 100,000 copies, you would have a platinum box set.

*sigh*

an EP is an ep, as long as its 30 minutes or something, 500,000 copies takes it gold. and it has to have between 3-6 songs.
What if Interpol plays a 40 min set? Does that count as a half-show?

What if you review a Broken Social Scene show but you never attended it? Does that count as no review?

if you had one 5-disc box set that was selling 3,500 copies (sets) a week, and you had a double-disc greatest hits that was selling 5,000 copies a week.

now, if they were released on the same day. how many days sooner would the box set go platinum?
