Song popularity is less of an issue than band popularity. You'll only sell in cities you havve at least a 'dreadful' fame in a city to sell singles otherwise you're guaranteed to sell 0. So you should have 'dreadful' fame at least in 5-8 cities before releasing your first single.

TDG currently has around 13 countries above 'dreadful' (some with multiple cities like the US, Spain) 5 at or below that and seven cities we've yet to play.

Total sales for our second single ended up just under 100,000 at 96,700something I think =D>

Our 'holiday' single is out now, our third, and we're set to record our first video tommorow at noon in Central Park in support of the single, but there are some issues that need resolving first... :help:

However our company has ordered 175,000 copies ;)

TDG cracked the Top 100 in Punk today and our latest single Tear it Tonight! has made the Radio Charts for the first time ever, clocking in at #38 in the US, England and a handful of others! :joy:

Our video for the song was initially ranked #26 punk video :rock:
