As previously stated, in my opinion the huge drop from RS solo listeners to RSO listeners is becasue of the way it's listed. You need to specifically search for RSO to find it. Unless you are looking for it, it's never going to show up in search results. Just listing at as RSO : Richie Sambora + Orianthi would have made a huge difference. I'm not saying that everyone that listened to it would have liked it, but it would have made users of Spotify, iTunes, Amazon etc that listened to Richie's or Ori's songs more aware of the project.

I know Richie Sambora fans that have no clue that this album came out. Not everyone relies on social media for information, especially older fans, and this was the only place to know about this release.
