and your data is where from???
and that data is relevant why???

In Germany, their most successful album was Keep The Faith closely followed by Cross Road and These Days, sales-wise. In the UK, only Cross Road and Slippery When Wet sold better than These Days. Maybe in the Netherlands, These Days was BJ's biggest success. However, I very well remember those days (that's when I started liking the band) and hell, I don't think there was a better period to be a Bon Jovi fan. Respect and admiration came from all sides and the band HAD BALLS. Like performing Hey God at the MTV awards more than one year before it would be released as a single...they'd never do something like this nowadays.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

What world do you live man????


Wikipedia source??? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!



And by the way, These Days was the most sucessfull BJ album in Brazil. More than SWW and NJ, whatever. The estimated sales are 700,000 copies in 1996. Nowadays i have no idea about the sales, but in 2002 i had a these days copy in one of the most biggest CD store in Brazil called Americanas and then they was showing the album as "Albums that made history". These Days was the only BJ album with those kind of "certification".

And let me tell you something, the "certification" was a Universal Music Brazil thing.

Just perfect.

These Days was BJ's biggest success WORLDWIDE ! Europe loved it, and people can't even imagine the BJ-mania in South America and Asia around '95/'96.

Well Keep the Faith and These Days were their two biggest world tours were they not?

Anyways, that performance of Something For the Pain was a lot different looking than how I pictured it while listening to OWN: live. I always assumed Jon played guitar or something, he looks kinda weird dancing around to this song.
