Saddle Creek label chief Robb Nansel AIM’d me this morning to say that the final first-week number for Cassadaga was 58,354 units sold, enough to place it at No. 4 on the Billboard charts. The album will no doubt top the “alternative/indie” chart when that data is released. An hour later, Billboard placed its coverage of last week’s sales online, with the headline “‘NOW’ Remains No. 1 As Bright Eyes Debuts High.” The article (here) goes on to state that I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning has sold 394,000 copies to date. Still waiting on an official press release that will detail the European numbers…
