In the U.S., JOURNEY's CD/DVD package "Revelation" sold more than 104,000 copies in its debut week according to Wal-Mart Stores, marking the band's biggest first week's sales since 1996's "Trial By Fire". Released in June 2008, "Revelation" was sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club in North America, Walmart.com and Samsclub.com, and JOURNEY's official web site, Journeymusic.com. "Revelation"'s first-week sales marked a 1400% increase over the band's 2005's first-week sales of "Generations".
