The Richie Sambora & Orianthi album

I know of two bands were one of the main songwriters left the fold but remained active as a writer and contributor to studio releases; the Ramones (with Dee Dee Ramone) and Bad Religion (with Brett Gurewitz).

With BJ the band touring way less than before this might not even be required.

I gotta hear this now...

THR RSO show will be aired soon, i hope it ends up on youtube on high quality

Has it charted at all ?

Doubt it. Anyone that wanted the album already has most of the songs on the EPs and there is has been very little in the way of promo. It definitely didn't chart in the UK, but we have had zero promo here, which is really odd as Richie has generally done pretty well over here...not even sure why they really bothered with the album, should have just done another double a-side single with Hellbound train and Blues Won't Leave Me Alone...

Billboard 200, which it will be eligible for will update this coming Tuesday. It will list sales (including downloads, streaming and even enough you tube plays counts as 1 sale) starting from the Friday it released through Thursday on the chart. IF they are going to, this would be it as all the pre-orders count that day. Just like THINFS went back to #1 briefly when the ticket copies all went out. Now, being low on the list does not require a lot of sales, I can't find the chart now but it of course varies week to week depending upon competition but being 200 could be very low sales (I think last time I found the chart it was low hundreds).

People who didn't like it, are already done and they decided that one or two EP's back. People who did, have the EP's so some will want the physical copy and others will just download the new songs IF they want them. I saw a few people not happy, they thought it was going to be new music and not the EP's rehashed with a snippet of anything new.

As far as downloads - this source lists all download services and any position an album holds in any country they report, most.
This is a one day showing, as it would specify if more:

Album: Radio Free America


iTunes:

#15 Bermuda

#198 Netherlands


Also 95 on the Scottish version of Billboard

Record sales across the board are so lousy now that you can get a #1 with 50,000 copies... depending on the week.

The music business sucks right now. So many people just don’t buy music anymore.

Richie told Storme Warren (DJ on The Highway) that he and Ori were writing for some country artists. Thompson Square has a new song called Masterpiece so I was wondering if it’s the same as the RSO song. I remember hearing a clip of it, but I don’t remember it.

No, that's definitely a different song. Speaking of songs having the same title... .

Japanese Bonus Tracks confirmed as:
Good Times (Reggae Mix)
One Night Of Peace (Original Mix)

So, nothing that we don't already have...
