I was thinking if the fan club offeres Chris' new cd as a presale for members, then it probably will NOT count when Billboard tabulates sales. I am thinking that if we buy from the fan club then we probably should also get one from a store too. That way first week sales will be good.

Presales usually go towards first week sales. (But why not buy more than one anyways? ;) )

As far as I know, only systems using "Soundscan" are reported to Billboard.

In a way, I kind of disagree with y'all on buying multiple copies. I know it is helping out the artist but one cd is all I need and to be honest, all I have the money for! But I Do need a new "Play It Loud" cd jacket for anyone that wants to be kind enough! Chris signed this one and I am gonna frame it :)

ARE THEY GOING TO DO A PRE-SALE? THAT WOULD BE COOL.

WIlbur, the latest newletter said that they were looking into a possible pre-sale for fan club members. I agree that it would be awesome!! Cant wait to get my little hands on that CD!! Tina

I'm with you Kim! LOL I'll be buying several also.
I need one for every vehicle too! I guess we spoil ourselves, but Cagle is definately worth it!

I've bought so many copies of "Play It Loud" that I lost count! I'm not complaining--I just have to have a good copy of the CD to listen to. I seem to play them over and over until they wear out. Like the rest of you, I won't play it after Chris autographs it. Can't wait for "Chris Cagle", or the WABD video to come out!
Cagle On!

Regarding buying multiple copies, I look at it this way:
Record sales are down because of MP3's, and CD Burners. Money isn't being spent on original copies like before. So I feel like if you can afford to, buy many. If you can't, that's okay too, because Chris wouldn't want you to spend what you didn't have.
I hope all of that made sense!

My freind that turned me on to Chris, doesnt even have a copy of PLAY IT LOUD and even though I have a burner that is the one CD I refuse to burn, I'll buy it before I burn it! I love to give the CD as a gift...if it can help Chris achieve his dream then I'm all for it! Of course I have one for the car, the house, ect, too! I hope the new album comes out on time (march 11)...I'll be seeing Chris 4 days later and want to be able to sing along to all the new songs...cuz you know he LOVES it when we do that! PLAY IT LOUD!
