Don Van Cleave, the head of the Coalition of Independent Music Stores, on the Eagles’ so-called Wal-Mart exclusive and its performance on his sales chart of shops that are decidedly not the Bentonville big box: “”…many of our guys picked up the WALMART EAGLES new release at Walmart to resell back in their stores. We heard stories for the past few weeks about customers asking indie stores for the WALMART EAGLES. When informed that they would need to go to Walmart to pick up the title, the customers responded “Dude, we don’t go in that damn place” or something similar… (Soundscan) told me that they were obviously resales and they zeroed them out… They don’t want to count them twice…Streetpulse let me know…The WALMART EAGLES come in at #22 on our chart.” [hypebot]
