Number 7 on US iTunes right now…all albums!
Great to see! SI definitely deserves some attention.
Real paradox. Their last albums KFAD and AOTY were very poorly commercially accepted,by the then standards. AOFTY was sold around 2 million copies worldwide. Now imagine that Sol Invictus would sell two million nowadays.I bet It would be characterized as remarkable and incredible financial success.So much about the difference between then and now.
And no, i don’t have such unrealistic expectations.
But it’s really great to see that SI is doing so well on global charts (even in USA for a change) and that old and new fans accepted FNM back globally with opened hands,and they are buying album instead of free listening,cus hey….who knows i if we ever get a chance again to hear new FNM album.
All the luck boys….for me..you already delivered album of this year with SI and for many years back.
Great album worthy of all respect…who doesn’t agree….aint any FNM fan, never was and never will be
Awesome!! Looks like the music industry needed FNM more than FNM needed it!! Thank FNM, for this brilliant record that I can’t get enough of! And also a big shout out to all the folk out there that seemed to have stayed true on their promise of buying this record instead of lazily you tubing it! Let’s hope the boys tour here in Australia , where the album looks set to debut at 4!
