Report: MÖTLEY CRÜE 'Red, White & Crüe' To Debut At No. 6 On BILLBOARD Chart

February 8, 2005

Hits Daily Double is projecting a first-week sales number of 91,983 and a No. 6 slot on next week's The Billboard 200 chart for MÖTLEY CRÜE's two-CD "greatest hits" collection, "Red, White & Crüe". Although the final figures won't be released until Wednesday morning (Feb. 9),the biggest debut is said to belong to TINA TURNER, whose "All the Best" (Capitol) came on strong to finish at No. 2 on 119,000 units, thanks to a week-of-release TV blitz involving a pair of "Today" appearances and an "Oprah" special, as well as the album's availability at Starbucks locations nationwide.

In addition to all of the band's all-time classics, "Red, White & Crüe" includes three brand-new CRÜE songs (the new single "If I Die Tomorrow", "Sick Love Song", and a cover of the ROLLING STONES' "Street Fighting Man") recorded by the group's original lineup (except "Street Fighting Man", which features A PERFECT CIRCLE drummer Josh Freese).
