Just logged onto TDR this morning to see if they had an update about the sale figures of Gyllene Tider, and sure they did... on the front page, they have got one article claiming Finn Fem Fel sold 123.000 copies in 23 hours. But the latest news is, the album sold 120.000 copies within 23 days… hmm, makes me wonder if the album is so bad that 3000 Fans returned their copy? How are we supposed to believe the details of the news anymore? Doesn’t this clearly show us, whoever writes the news articles doesn’t do a lot of research??? Or is someone just making up some details as they go along??

Never stop to realise that maybe it was the guy from TDR who was typing the article up who made that mistake?

120,000 or 123,000?? What even says this is a mistake? I think some are more stupid than others in this matter.

Interesting to see how offended people seem to get about a harmless statement! lol
Guys, relax, why always get so offended so quick?? ;-)

Hey... I don’t think that the journalist in question had the exact amount of albums sold to her/his disposal and thus (to be safe) used the previous figures & simply rounded them off. Very simple! I you look at the source of the article you’ll see that it’s not an press release but rather an article - two very different things. The one gives straight facts (from an offical source) and the other report on latest events (and older facts doesn’t doesn’t play such a big role - merely to remind the reader of a previous article etc.)
