Is there some kind of online resource where one might go to get some sales figures for various albums? Like, I'm kind of interested to know how New Order's new album is doing, for instance. I know that the RIAA has a thing where you can find out if a given album has gone gold or platinum, but that's the only information it has. Is there anything that goes into greater detail?

Hah, you know what's shitty? I just went to Soundscan's website, and they don't give you stats at all.

It's probably so that record companies can inflate their sales, therefore disguising their pathetic sales and preventing their stock values from falling inside the Mariana Trench.

If you subscribe to Music Week you can get sales figures from there. You could try and get a look at a hard copy e.g. my local library stocks it.
