What would it take for this album to be successful?

[izzy4]

good music and promotion.

[roboaxl]

they need pictures of boobs in the inserts.

  exactly
for this album to be successful, they need sex and lots of it

[RobW]

Initially it will sell well because of the delay in it being released, the problem after that is maintaining sales.How many albums have we seen enter the charts at No1 then drop like a stone.I don't care about chart posistions because these days what with i tunes etc the charts are all over the fucking place.

I'd just be very happy to finally have the cd in my hands, that would be the success for me.

Well, a glassy-eyed Axl could dance drunk in bikini at the VMA's covering his mouth to pretend the lipsync isnt totally bad for one..

That or appear BALD on stage, and replace his "do u know where the eff you are !!?" tradermark catchphrase with a gaptoothed "GET-IR-DOOONE".

Lastly, Axl could show up dressed as Steve Jobs on stage and go "See kids, this is the new "iCD" pod thing, it holds 15 totally kickass songs, took 15 years in the making and costs only 15 bucks.

I think the album would be really successful if it actually came out

[Sates]

i want to believe that number and i did cause the hype is unreal but i think most ''kids'' will download it instead of buy it....sad but true

That still counts as album sales. Assuming the do it legally.

[Ruiner]

A legit release date

[jamillos]

Release.
It's that simple.

[Faxl]

Release.
It's that simple.

Its not going to be an instan success just by releasing, but with the right single and decent promotion and some regular early previews on radio, it could play out very well. But who knows.
