Trapt’s New Album Sells 600 Copies First Week, Band Says Not So Fast
Nu-metal outfit Trapt — which have been extremely active on Twitter in recent months — couldn’t put their albums sales where their tweets are. The group only sold 600 copies of their new album in its first week, according to SoundScan data, but the group insists there’s roughly 3,400 additional copies trapped somewhere else (get it?).

We’re hap...
