Arenas. O2 / Nottingham / Leeds / Sheffield/ Liverpool Echo etc...

It's not people being negative, it's disappointing. They weren't No.1 or No.2 with 20k sales, they were No.5. Robbie had > 60k and it wasn't a huge album. More people bought albums by Elvis Presley and Michael Buble - and they weren't even week 1 sales.

Despite the lack of hit singles, Bon Jovi were always supporting by a large core of album buyers and concert goers and they are losing both in this country. It's disappointing moreso because this album is good enough that it deserves better, but the last albums/tour has caused this decline.

Having said that, if the record company cared enough, they could have sorted some promo and got a comfortable #2 behind Robbie if they wanted to.

More bad news- this weeks midweek update has the album dropping to #25. At this rate, it will be lucky to stay in the top 40 by Friday. Just 1 week in the charts for an album.
