It certainly did, outside America. What was it, 9 million copies sold, less then a million of them in the states.

Yep! Here in Brazil, These Days sells 700,000, was the most popular rock album in 1995/1996.

Not really because Crush made a whole new generation of fans, who will have bought the album as well as the existing fans from the 80s and 90s.
still, ktf also made a new generation of fans (im one of those) maybe less than crush but still, came out after a stonger era than crush + ktf was at least over here (europe) as far as I know a bigger hit than crush ever was. And KTF is 7/8 years longer in stores. Oh and KTF couldnt be downloaded back then. So for me suprising anyway

Keep The Faith didn't contain a big hit in the USA like It's My Life did in 2000. It had 4 singles, but none had the impact It's My Life had. The succes of Keep The Faith was completely different in the rest of the world. The same story as for These Days. One hitsingle, but This Ain't A Love Song never had the same impact on the charts as It's My Life had.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Keep the Faith(the song) was a top 40 hit and Bed of Roses Peaked at number 10, so those were the singles that sold the KTF album in the states.
I don't know about the other 2 singles.

Thanks for doing my post. IML was huge over here and everyone knows it and when asking non BJ fans of the songs they like or know KTF songs never gets mentioned. People just seem to remember Prayer, Bad Name, Always and IML. It's a shame really because in my opinion KTF was the best BJ album.
