Just for fun, I looked up in the archives, the single, "I'm A Believer" by the Monkees, and what we
reported in the first few weeks of its release. On November 28, we reported we sold 31 copies which placed it at #3 in its first week (It was a short week because of the T-Day holiday). Week #2 (Dec. 5), we sold 37 copies placing it on our list @ #2. On December 12th, we reported selling 91 copies placing it at #1 just above "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron". On December 19th, we reported selling 120 copies in the past 7 days, still holding @ #1. December 27th, reported selling 139 copies, still at #1. January 3rd reported 165 copies sold and still #1. It wasn't until the next week, January 9th when "I'm A Believer" was knocked out of 1st by "Georgy Girl" Life in retail! -Bill. |

That's a tricky one. The album was recorded and ready in fall 1979, but according to producer Michael O'Martian in a Billboard article, wasn't released until January 1980. At the time they thought the fall of 1979 was too competitive and waited until after Christmas when things were much quieter. Obviously, it worked! |
