JOURNEY's 'Revelation' Sells More Than 104,000 Units In Debut Week

June 10, 2008

JOURNEY's new three-disc CD/DVD package "Revelation" has 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 June 3, "Revelation" is being sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club in North America, Walmart.com and Samsclub.com, and JOURNEY's official website, Journeymusic.com. "Revelation"'s first-week sales mark a 1400% increase over the band's 2005's first-week sales of "Generations".

"We are thrilled with the early success of JOURNEY's 'Revelation' music project, and clearly our customer is excited about it too," said Jeff Maas, Divisional Merchandise Manager, Entertainment, Wal-Mart U.S. "We believe that if we continue to find innovative products, priced to showcase the value, our customers will show their excitement by purchasing the product. JOURNEY was great to work with and clearly this reflects a win for them and for our customer; customers are voting with their purchase that they are excited too about the package and the album's value," Maas added.

The first disc consists of 11 new songs, the second is filled with 11 re-recorded classics, and the third is a live, in-concert DVD. All of the music on "Revelation" was produced by Kevin Shirley (who previously worked with JOURNEY on their platinum-certified "Trial By Fire" album).

"Revelation" marks a new chapter in the legendary career of multi-platinum rockers JOURNEY, thanks to two singles at Rock and AC radio ("Never Walk Away" and "After All These Years") and rave reviews, including the New York Times who hailed: "the band seems to have taken rock vitamins: it feels alive."

JOURNEY is currently on a European tour through June 28. They'll start a massive summer U.S. tour with special guests HEART and CHEAP TRICK on July 9 in Denver, CO.

JOURNEY performed its classic song "Separate Ways" on the May 28 episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". Watch the footage below.
