IMO the lack of 'hits' from the last few albums has been poor choice of singles.

The singles from The Circle were especially bad (apart from Superman Tonight), WWBTF and WWWB were just terrible songs, let alone hit singles. There were far better songs on the album that prpbably would have done a lot better.... Thorn In My Side, Brokenpromiseland & Love's The Only Rule are awesome songs. Why Jon didn't chose them is beyond me!
