The market was already pretty sweat in 2006 in the US, plus ringtones were popular too. Both Bring Me To Life and My Immortal remained highly popular through the years though.Īfter more than a decade of catalog sales, they add for a very healthy total of 10 million units, making them some of the biggest digital songs that preceeded iTunes. That’s why Fallen singles sold next to nothing during their promotional campaigns. If you are unaware of the CSPC method, you will get the full idea within just a pair of minutes.Īs a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 1,5 ratio between one album and one digital single.Ģ003 is when the iTunes Store was first launched in the US.
In the first place, there is this Scribe video posted below. There are two ways to understand this revolutionary concept. The Commensurate Sales to Popularity Concept (CSPC) Of course, if you are a regular visitor feel free to skip the video and get into the numbers directly. I fully recommend watching it before getting into the sales figures. If you are not yet familiar with the CSPC method, below is a nice and short video of explanations. In fact, it will also determine their true popularity. This concept will not only bring you sales information for all Evanescence‘s albums, physical and download singles, as well as audio and video streaming. They flooded airwaves so much back then that one may wonder if they really were that big to virtually disappear in less than a decade.Īs usual, I’ll be using the Commensurate Sales to Popularity Concept in order to relevantly gauge his results. Since that point, it has been many years of struggle for the band. The band was at risk to remain forever a one-hit-wonder, but that’s when My Immortal re-ignited the LP in early 2004. Going Under failed to click back a few months later. Thanks to its success, the album Fallen also shot to the first positions of rankings from everywhere. In both cases, it strongly over performed the remaining rock songs. In the US, it was limited to a #5 in an airplay-fueled ranking that favored urban songs. Bring Me To Life instantly shot to #1 for multiple weeks in the UK. Their last top 10 hit was way back in 2006 yet and they haven’t even issued a proper album since 2011.
Everyone though the band was here to stay. Back in 2003, the Amy Lee-led band Evanescence took the world by storm thanks to the super smash hit Bring Me To Life.
