Ok - friends, I am posting my first response after I listened to TiS yesterday all alone in my room on an AIWA System - to start with, I will try giving a one sentence description: This album is an ABSOULTE BOMBSHELL ! in fact, it is a couple of hydrogen bombs packed together in a single CD timed to detonate each time it is played! after playing the entire CD, I involuntarily checked if nothing happened to my system, after that most complex music it has played in its lifetime!
I will follow this up with a deep set of observations, since I am incapable of reviewing this!

Expectation from official :
Thiruvasagam sales figure will be 10 lakhs after one year.
I will back with detailed review

Right now I am unable to express my feelings about the album,So don't want to start doing that now.Maybe after a couple of weeks&more listenings.
I bought a couple of CD's on Monday from Planet M,Jayanagar.I went in today afternoon to buy a couple more(for gifting)but they had run out of stock.The store manager was not there&the guy who was trying to help me out(What do they call them?)said he did not know exact figures, but they had received the stocks 3 times this week(All sold out).
I went to Music world a couple of blocks away, which had 5 CD's.I bought 2&asked the owner(who was manning the cash counter) about the sales.He said till now they have received 3 batches of 50 CD's each on the 4th,6th&7th respectively, of which only 5 are left(including the two I bought).Which means in 4 1/2 days they have sold 147 CD's.Assuming Planet M also received the same no,two major shops in Jayanagar have sold 297 CD's in 5 days,Amazing.
Just imagine the sales in more prominent outlets like Landmark at Forum Mall,Music world&Planet M on Brigade road.

In one of the shops in B'lore (music world/forum), a friend of mine had told me, that one person had ordered 1000 cds !

Cinefan,
Did you check with Calypso in Jayanagar, They have IR's poster all over the display area - may be the first time im seeing an indian face there ... !
I am extremely happy to know that sales of TIS CDs is very good - Once the cassettes are released, hopefully we can expect more ...
The album is excellent to say the least and it fully deseves this, no dobut, But I am yet to believe how this extraordinary sales happened :)
IR was supposed to be 'not-so-great' in terms of sales right ? And tamil people were never fond of buying any private albums in huge numbers (be it rap / pop/ devo or whatever) ... Now, how this happened ? Was it the magic of Thiruvaasagam ?
Let me stop my postmortem here, as some people may take it offensive, Sorry guys, its just a surprise I had, because I was thinking (till date) that only 'pakka' commercial things sell in such huge numbers, not dedicated efforts like this - What was the sales for HTNI and NBW in all these years ?

YOu can not find out the sales for HTNI/NBW (for that matter Skanda shashti kavasam by Soolamangalam, Bhajagovindam by MSS). The are all "ever green" product. TIS is already on its way to be on that category. After 40 years, still Skanda shasti kavasam and Bhajagovindam are still "hot cakes" and I am sure TIS will be "hot cake" after 100 years as well.
One of my friend who listened to it (and who doesnt like any hype at all and wasnt sure if TIS will make him happy) told me that he is still in shock, for 1 reason, that his ego was washed away completely and for another reason, the shock that he (naturally) got from TIS. He didnt give me any feedback, he said its hard to "take in" TIS so he need atleast 2 days of rest before listening to TIS again.
As far as I goes, "lost in vanity"

hi all,
i just spoke to one of distibutor in chennai ESSEN MUSICAL , he just told me 1st set of 600 cds came and sold in 3 days time. but he told that they now reducing the stocks since the WELGATE company has reduced the margin and also asking the distibutors to pay cash immeditaely. normally in music field the distibutors will be given atleast 15 days credit period. can TIS group talk to the welgate group about this issue, if the distibutors failed to buy the cds in lot then the sales figure will be reduced drastically.

I think this is the first time, a non-film tamil album is selling like hot cakes. It is a great turn for tamil music not only for tamil music, indian music industry.
This is the first time, so many number of CDs are sold out (including film albums). Ennoda CD-yula kettavargal ellam athisayithargal. They also want to buy CDs.

DearShankar,
This is Dr. Sankarkumar from USA. I want you to do some more investigation on this 1000 Cd order and find who this person is and inform me as I have reliable reports that attempts are being made by some crooks to discretly ship to USa to undersell it to kill the market. Pl. help!
p.s. I will be posting this in the forum also to avoid multiple requests from me to all. Thanks.
Friends, if you also come across such information of mass buying, pl. verify with the store that it is an individual and not a rep. of a US based distributor. Then, they will undersell and reduce the value. Pl. help. Thanks.
YIA!!
