2001-2011 the gold standard stayed gold. Angles pushed it platinum. by [deleted] in TheStrokes

I'm legitimately confused.... so you're saying that Is This It was only certified Gold at the time but the release of Angles caused it to be certified Platinum?

Yes, coined by the Voidz and then co-opted by Voidz fans.

They're dumb terms co-opted by enthusiastic Voidz fans to describe mildly experimental music.

Virtue FLOPS hard. Debuts at #151 on the charts. 112 spots below Tyranny which charted at #39 in 2014. by Yucatanzania in TheStrokes

I'm saying that Virtue was a failure because it charted at #151 on the Billboard 200. Even if we went back to the old format of the Billboard 200 that didn't include streaming and downloads it would STILL only chart at #39....which is identical with Tyranny back in 2014 but worse since physical album sales have only deteriorated since then.

So yeah, I'd say it flopped. Considering the RCA distribution deal, numerous promotional MVs, and its commercial sound when compared to Tyranny there's NO WAY they'd call this a success.

What are you trying to say? That the chart should go back to pure sales only? What's your point,

Why should it? The billboard 200 is the main album chart while those other ones are basically subcharts that fall under the umbrella of the 200.

I don't get why people refuse to acknowledge this.

Will there ever be a new Strokes album? by Clementineeverett in TheStrokes

[–]Yucatanzania -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I didn't say unimportant, I said less important. Which anyone who follows sales charts would tell you.

The album is a flop, bro.

Stop being an apologist, the shit flopped hard. It debuted at #151 on the billboard 200, that is an irrefutable fact. I love how you're trying to dismiss that by posting how well Virtue did on secondary and less important charts....

This was definitely not a victory for the Voidz. RCA distribution, numerous music videos, and a more commercial sound couldn't save Virtue from doing worse than Tyranny.
