Heidi Montag Sells More Albums Than I Do

Posted on | February 3, 2010 | No Comments

According to Soundscan, Heidi Montag’s new album, Superficial, sold only 658 copies in its first week of release. They say that like it’s a bad thing. The girl “bankrupted” herself to finance this album, spending, as she claims, almost $2 million to make it. So, if I have my math right, and you assume most of those purchases were through iTunes which takes a $3 cut, she has made a return that is statistically insignificant from a flatbed trailer of miscellaneous excrements.

By contrast, I produced grateful/disorder for $0, which is almost $2 million less than almost $2 million. I used equipment I already owned, performed everything myself, and mixed it with free software. If you add in distribution, it cost me $35. The most expensive part was having CDs printed so I can sell them at shows. So you might say I turned a profit on my first album sale. (You might also not say this).

Who knew I could be a better businessman than Heidi Montag? And all thanks to the books at my local library.
