All together for their 11 albums, The Hip has sold over 3,840,000 albums. That's 349,000 per album which isn't even gold in the States. It's entirely possible that BR has sold more than The Hip.
 
3.8 million is actually more than I thought! Might be more than Bad Religion... I was thinking BR has probably sold 3-5 million??? But that is a pure guess. Prior to 94 they surely did not sell many units. Maybe someone here could shed some more light on how many albums they have sold? I know only "Stranger Than Fiction" is there only gold album, but POB  and others must have been approaching gold.
 
Anyway. the Hip get the Canadian treatment  here in Buffalo... they have sold out arenas and amphitheaters here... but 80 or a hundred miles east, west or south and they play @bars.

As far as we are concerned, up here in Canada, the US needs to chill. Up in the great white north, we set the bar low so we can succeed without breaking our backs. *sips beer & rests feet on stump*

Yeah, I am aware of this. If I listen to CBC Radio 3 which is back east, I get to hear Gord Downie (Hip singer) and his solo band. CBC Radio 1 = never. Local pride, eh?

I like this attitude.

This is why you guys will never be #1. U-S-A! U-S-A!
Luxury was priviledge and I knew it all along. But to let human reason get trumped by emotion is wrong.
