As far as I know, Courtney Loves album was coming out that week anyway, usually release dates are set up months in advance. You could argue however that she sold out due to the stylistic change from her first album, but then, it could be her going off in an independent new direction.

Chris Cornell's solo stuff sold out or Soundgarden?
Well Courtney always seemed a bit happy for band interviews and sappy for personal ones, and she granted interviews IMMEDIATLEY afterwards.

And neither Chris nor Soundgarden sold out.
