I now go for the streaming option rather than the hard purchase option.
Apple Music at £9.99/14.99 per month allows me to get new albums from an array of artists and to rediscover music I haven't listened to in a LONG time.

If I hadn't gone onto NewsNow I wouldn't have known about this album coming out (I haven't been on here in over a year).
Very few people outside the "hardcore" will have known about it enough to warrant buying it.
I wasn't even going to go anywhere near this album after the disaster that was What About Now. I could have downloaded it illegally, but got it through Apple Music, and I'm glad I did.

The music industry and the charts isn't what it used to be.
14,000 sales in the UK for an un-promoted album by a band better known for their 80s rock music isn't bad really.

Number 11 midweek in UK album charts.

Thought it'd be much worse.

We Don’t Run
Single failed to chart.

no. 13 on Billboard? Ouch... even with no promotion, that's pathetic compared to most markets.

Last time, their homeland turned on them, Bon Jovi did their best work. One can dream, right? :D

I do think it has just gone unnoticed, though. Bon Jovi beat Bowies 'comeback album' to number 1 in 2013. Album in 2016 will be back up!

Number 6 in Portugal. Wow, that actually amazes me.

Being #13 in America is not that bad, is it ? Especially for an album with 0 promotion !

No, it's really not, especially for an album that had so little promotion and (it would seem) wasn't even manufactured in large numbers since it was sold out on amazon.com and walmart.com long before the charts would have even been tabulated. If I remember correctly KTF didn't debut very high in Top 10 itself and it had huge promotion, so this isn't that bad by comparison

It's not like the album had more promotion overseas.

Also, you people are funny. "0 promotion"? All major sites and papers reviewed the thing. You think that just happens whenever somebody releases an album?

KTF debuted and peaked at #5.
