The Foo Fighters are huge!!!!!!!!
People here might prefer Nine Inch Nails as a band, but in reality Foo Fighters are the much bigger band!! |

| Foos can sell out 2 nights in wembley stadium after doing a full 12 date uk sold out arena tour only months before, they are clearly the bigger band in fairness |

Had no idea it was that drastic a comparison.
Nuff said really. |

| Yeah, but haven't NIN been putting out albums since the 80s? Hardly fair to compare album sales then, is it? |

| Foo's are easily the bigger band in terms of popularity, the album sales difference is that NIN have been out alot longer |

Foo's to the best of my knowledge appeared around 1995, Pretty hate machine came out in Nov 1989.
Not that much.
So if the foo's sold 8 million records in 11 years it averages at 727,272 per year whereas NIN would have sold 20 million in 17 years averaging 1,176,470. So if the Foo's sell 12 million more albums in the next 6 years i will admit i was wrong. But i doubt that, because that means they will have too sell 2 million a year for 6 years....which is more than twice what they have been doing previous.
Anyway, im off to play computer games. |
