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

It just seems to be a cycle. When they are big everywhere else they aren't that big here in terms of record sales. I'm sure if the record company knew what to do to get the same results in all countries they'd do it. I'm just not so sure the record company even expected the GH package to sell gangbusters in the US but who knows.
