Could we see a "warped tour" type band hit the Top Ten in the 2010's?

Most people forgot that Eminem performed on Warped Tour in his early career.

January 10, 2010 at 12:24 PMI think that depends on what qualifies as a "warped tour" type band. If you mean the style of music that's been popular on warped tour over the past few years (pop-punk, or whatever you prefer to call it), I'd be surprised. With a few exceptions, a lot of those artists don't seem to be able to sell more than a couple hundred thousand CDs (if they're lucky). While I do like some of those bands, they don't seem to have as much of a mainstream appeal as other genres. There are occasionally bands on warped tour, though, that don't necessarily fit the stereotypical "warped tour sound" that might be able to reach that level of success.

January 11, 2010 at 12:36 PMI can definitely see a "warped tour" band making a year end sales list this decade but not the decade-end list.
this list blows my mind, brings me back to the days of diamond albums. i'd be really surprised if any album breaks 10 million in the twenty-teens.
