WSYCGH did reach #5 in the UK though (that is one spot better than the lead single). Other than the US, I reckon Who Says should be dropped and played only on the rare occasion, while HAND gets played every night. In some countries, such as Australia, HAND was their last major hit.
I also thing SFTP, TAALS and TYFLM are bigger hits than most think. I am constantly surprised by how many of my non-Jovi-loving-friends know SFTP. I'm very glad it has become somewhat of a regular again this past tour.
BTBMB was really only a major hit in the US and some European countries. It only reached #30 here in Australia. Still, I think it works great live and should be played quite often (perhaps not as often as it has been though).
And like I usually say, BOR and Always should be played at every show. They were big hits in every damn country (much bigger than IBTFY in a lot of places).
Finally, they need to bloody play something from Bounce! (other than boring Open All Night). Bring back Undivided, Hook Me Up, The Distance or Bounce (or even Everyday/Misunderstood if they want the 'hit' of the album).
IMO, the songs that should be played every night because they are the 'hits' (outside of the US) are LOAP, YGLABN, WDOA, BM, BOG, KTF, BOR, Always, IML, HAND (and possibly ITA). In the US you'd add BTBMB and IBTFY (and possibly WSYCGH).
Songs like WGIGO, LH, WLOL, ISWID, ILTT, should be swapped around more often with other non-hit songs. Of course anything from The Circle is welcomed pretty much considering we've been somewhat deprived of them.
