Time for that 19th nervous breakdown: Mick Jagger released a new album last week. So did Robbie Williams. On the first day of his album’s release, Williams sold 73,000 copies in the U.K. Mick Jagger sold 954. (Thanks, brandhast.) Yep, three digits. That’s got to sting.
Albums that would sell more than 954 copies on the first day of release: *Nsync, Justin Timberlake Hums Indiscriminately With Britney In the Next Room; Garth Brooks, Early Recordings: Lil’ Garth Makes Armpit Noises, 1972-1974; U2, All We’ve Left Behind: Bono Speaks Out on Third World Debt Relief; various artists, Now That’s What I Call Arbor Day!
