Worldwide chart positions

Have you given your opinion on 202 yet? Apologies if I’ve missed it. What do you think? Like you I listen to the full album from bands. They have taken the time to create new material so they deserve to have their “art” for want of a better word, listened to how it’s intended. iTunes/Spotify has killed the album as we knew it. People can’t seem to concentrate for more than 45 minutes now so that’s why they pick 1 or 2 songs. While they are listening they are on twitter or social media looking or thinking about something else. Gone are the days of sitting down a listening and taking it in. I may not love the new music but credit to Jon for sticking to the old format of full albums. A lot have bands have now gone down the individual song or EP route...but maybe that can work for Bon Jovi and that should be the way forward. Jon has delayed the album, vinyl is still not out, done all the tv shows, done the iheart gig and.....bang the album hits 19 in first week and 144 by 3rd week. What does it say when your 10 year old GH2 is higher in the charts than your new album that was released 3 weeks ago? It says no one wants the new music or the change is so different your fan base has left. They should’ve stopped after Richie quit really so jon could do little acoustic gigs and solo stuff. (Not that will sell you the bucket load either) but Jon must be gutted he thinks he’s wrote a really socially conscious/relevant album and no ones bought it. Even those who love Jon’s cute ass and freaky fans who buy 10 copies of the album can’t save 2020 from disappearing into the bargain bin. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Today I shared the album to a friend in Brazil who likes Bon Jovi and he didn't even know there was a new album out...

I may be a hopeless but I'd really wish if Jon stood by the record despite the sales. It might change him to stop chasing the trends and sales and chart positions and concentrate on music he really wants to release, from his heart.

I'm amazed with how "2020" is holding up on Austria - 3rd week and it still No. 5 on iTunes there.

Jon should do more promotion now that there are elections there, I can't believe they don't try to do something special to get media attention. |

Yesterday I read a news saying that FBI is accusing Russian and Iran of trying to influence the US election. The subject matter is right in this song. (But I personally don't know if they should) |
It's kind of ironic that an album that's been aimed more at the US market than any release beforehand actually does fairly decent in many countries around the world, but pretty much tanks in the US.
