I am always amazed at how well The Hip’s back catalogue continues to sell. Fully Completely was certified Diamond earlier in 2007; I wonder how when Road Apples will pass that mark?

Do these numbers surprise you? Impress you? Concern you?

Up To Here: 1,000,000
Road Apples: 800,000
Fully Completely: 1,000,000

In Between Evolution: 100,000
World Container: 100,000

Hipeponymous: 100,000

Total: Certified minimum of 5,300,000 according to CRIA.CA

That Night In Toronto: 50,000 (5 x Platinum for video sales)

Sorry for the lack of updates lately – I got married on July 21 and the planning of the event occupied much of my time. (www.chrisandleah.com for anyone interested in more about our big day!)

I’m in the midst of editing three concert videos – Bala, Amsterdam, and Air Canada Centre – and should have the first of them completed and posted within a few weeks.

Thanks for sticking with us!

Each week a new live video will be posted to TheHip.com. The first video, is from the Toronto, ACC show from February, 2007 and offers a unique, front row perspective. MAv has filmed a lot of shows from the front row, or other VIP areas, so this should be a great opportunity to watch The Hip from angles rarely seen by most fans.
