The singles that got released weren't songs I'd have as singles.
I didn't see any adverts this time round when usually I see a Bon Jovi advert on ITV for the new albums.
There's many reasons it 'tanked' and yeah, it did. But I also think it would have done a fair bit better if we weren't in the circumstances we are.
Jon's approach to promotion has been totally different and much more enjoyable this time around with everything that has gone on.
The latest podcasts have been more fun and interesting than anything in a long time. Yeah, we get the usual stuff for 85% of it but we always will.

I get their was a lack of promo but who would the promo be directed at? Anyone who didnt realise that they had a new album out couldnt have been much a fan as it was all over their social media channels. There was a lockdown, people were using social media even more than usual as there wasnt much else to do. Long gone are the days where they are going to attract new fans. It tanked as even the die hards and those who love everything Jon does didnt actually buy a copy of the album. If a fraction of those who bought tickets on the last tour purchased it then 2020 would have been a hit. For whatever reason, most chose not to.
