All Beatles albums are Billboard 200 eligible so we'll know a week from Thursday how successful this was. - Tim Nov 16, 13:27 29
- It will be successful in the short term because top advertising on iTunes moves the needle on anything - stewie Nov 16, 13:38 15
  - Yes, this. But the huge fanfare is understandable, given the sour apple records relationship that has persisted for years. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:47 4
    - (And in my opinion, short term - in this case - means a huge spike in the next two months, and then very respectable numbers for about 8 months) - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:48 3
      - Now what are your calculations if Paul and Ringo die together in a horrible money fire? -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 13:51 2
        
        money would have to be printed to keep up with sales. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:52
        
        the spike would be shaped like a dollar sign -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:51
  - prepare for incoming loosi and mara. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:39 9
    - I'm not making a judgement of the artist at all... it'd have to music people have never heard to matter in the way Apple is pretending it does -- nm - stewie Nov 16, 13:47 1
      - I quite like The Beatles, myself. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:50
    - Why? He hasn't said anything I disagree with. You may be misunderstanding my position. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:43 6
      - If you don't disagree with anything he said, you don't disagree with anything I said. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:44 5
        
        Amazing. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:47 4
        
        Then you truly didn't understand what I was saying. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:49 3
        
        I understood you as saying no one would buy the music, because it's already been boughten. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:53 1
        
        This is what I thought, too. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:54
        
        Of course. :-) -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:50
- and I bet the Red and Blue compilations top the lists -- nm - Remlik Nov 16, 13:30 1
  - #23 and #25 on iTunes at the moment. -- nm - Tim Nov 16, 13:31
- I'm sure it will be successful, but I'll bet more older people will be buying them than younger. -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 13:29 5
  - My 21 year old bro discovered them a couple of years ago. He discovered them hard. -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 13:44 2
    - But how could have done that?! They weren't on iTunes for Jeebus' sake! -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:45 1
      - I'm saying he's probably glad they are on iTunes, and may even be buying some albums as we type this -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 13:49
  - Heh. There's always the folks who'd rather pay again than bother with ripping and transfering files, maybe? -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:32 1
    - Or that think the remasters add something new. We'll see though - on the other side of the coin, people over 60 are a lot less likely to use iTunes -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 13:38
- How are they all Billboard Eligible? MJ's weren't last year. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 13:28 4

[deleted] 10
- What type of contract do you expect him to get this offseason? - David Nov 16, 13:29 8
  - The franchise number is something like $16 mil... I'd guess that ends up being the yearly average - stewie Nov 16, 13:42
  - [deleted] 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - I don't remember the details. I think it's surprising to everyone involved that his career has been saved like this. -- nm - David Nov 16, 13:39 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        He'd be 2nd imo only cuz he was hurt. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 13:45 1
        
        I see it as the deluxe version of Matt Cassel's free agency. There's plenty of cause for concern, but the recent results are astounding. -- nm - David Nov 16, 13:49
  - Rivers'esque. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 13:30
- 2012? -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 13:27
How can future generations count? They don't even exist, for god's sake. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:26 16
- nor will they, if I have my way. -- nm - mafic Nov 16, 13:29
- You of all people should know that digital copies are not archival. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:27 10
  - Who's talking archival? We're just talking about conviently purchasable where other tracks are available. You asked "who," and I'm saying "those who - mara Nov 16, 13:31 3
    - You're the one talking about "posterity". -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:32 2
      - Just because posterity is who archiving is for doesn't mean all reference to posterity automatically involve archiving. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:36 1
        
        "You only call us a cow school because we were founded by a cow!" -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:37
  - CDs decay -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:28 5
    - And CDs are digital, so I was probably including them in that, just maybe. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:29 4
      - I assumed you meant digital as in digitized files, lacking a physical medium. Whereas a CD is a physical medium. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:33 3
        
        You assumed wrong. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:34 2
        
        Yes, clearly. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:35 1
        
        Oh Bery, will you ever learn? -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 13:36
- They certainly can't vote. -- nm - ceregon Nov 16, 13:27
- in your limited conception of time - crash davis Nov 16, 13:27
- My newest saying: 100 years? All new people. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 13:27 1
  - Heh. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:27
