These Days was a complete flop in the US especially during those times when albums were still selling in the tens of millions. Even to date it is not even at 1 million copies sold here.

When it comes to other parts of the world, I question some of those numbers and how Wikipedia reports them. A half a million is Platinum in Europe versus 1 million in the US plus other parts count single sales as albums too. Its comparing apples to oranges but let's just say that the album wasn't the smash out of the gate that the band was used to with prior albums... It eventually creeped it's way to success in certain countries but it definitely didn't meet instantant expectations.

They broke big over in Europe during that period and really became global so kudos to Jon for not going grunge to appeal to the US and exploring other markets outside.
