Cheers for the sales figures, Late!  You're right, almost half a million albums isn't all that bad for a nation of 5 million ppl. Especially for a band like Bon Jovi -- they're not exactly Eppu Normaali or whoever that can sell over a million copies of their albums altogether in the sense that they got their fan base but they're not "everyone's favourite pet" like Eppu Normaali are. 
Even though it is disappointing that Bounce didn't reach the No. 1 spot, we can still take pride in the fact that Crush was the best-selling non-Finnish album in 2000 over here...and that Cross Road is still the second (?) best-selling non-Finnish album in Finland of all times. (For a while I actually thought Cross Road was the best-selling non-Finnish album ever, but I think I saw it somewhere that some Led Zeppelin album or some other oldie album has sold even more than that.)
