VELVET REVOLVER: 'Contraband' First-Week Sales Approaching 250K

June 14, 2004

According to Hits Daily Double, VELVET REVOLVER's "Contraband" remains on track to snag the top slot on The Billboard 200 chart from USHER, whose "Confessions" just finished its ninth winning week.

As the sales reports are tallied, it continues to look like VELVET REVOLVER will debut at No. 1 on first-week sales approaching 250,000, putting the album on top by a comfortable margin. "Contraband" also looks likely to top the Australian album chart, having debuted at number one on the Australian HMV midweek chart last week.

VELVET REVOLVER, who said to be fielding seven-figure offers for their publishing, are the subject of an upcoming VH1 special, "(Inside)Out: The Rise of Velvet Revolver". The program, which is set to air on Wednesday night, June 30 at 12:00 a.m. EST / 11:00 p.m. CST, is described as a behind-the-scenes look at how VELVET REVOLVER got constructed, from the songwriting process to the singer search and studio sessions.
