Rock as a whole in the US is just not big anymore in terms of sales and hasn't been for a very long time.

but bon jovi is not rock at all their sales/tracks are always counted in adult contemporary lately (In france they translate that by music for middle aged ..LOL kinda true but discriminative too)
Deb I can see what you mean honestly but then why the gap between the usa and canada then ? that GH works well everywhere EXCEPT THE USA ... it's just the usa where the GH is doing kinda 'bad' we have to stop deny the obvious ...true that rock doesn't sell well but I think it's a combination of many reasons and if BON JOVI was true rock I would get it but it's not ... EMINEM sold 800 000 the first week and didn't left the TOP 5 spot for one month ...because also it was very much seen as a WELCOME BACK .. if he had a cd out like bj every 1,5 year he wouldnt be that good nor that successful the band did too much .. I would say they were too greedy wanting to explode the roof ... I really REALY hope Jon won't come up with a change in the plans and the band back mid 2012
