These are poor numbers. The reason the state of music gets worse and worse every year is because too many people accept mediocre returns and pretend that they're good. No album that debuts with less than 200k is something to cheer about, on a commercial level. No album that ultimately scans less than 1 million is a commercial success. Sorry but I refuse to get over how not too long ago hit albums were selling 5+ million in the US alone. Miss me with this 'thousands' BS.
