I don't think the GNR thing is being managed very well. Illegal downloads are probably recording setting for this album, sadly. No real advertising, teh single store thing might not be a success in this case, and of course, where is AXL? It's not a bad album and they chose a good single but after the fan faire before, it's sort of like they just said "here" to Best Buy.

Pink...I don't know. She had a huge hit single (her first number one and I think it lasted more than a single week) but maybe people though "That's enough". Maybe she needs another hit....maybe people decided they wanted to buy only one
circus/funhouse/carvinal-esque themed album by a pop singer this year and someone else won out....

GNR aka axel rose is MIA so what u expect plus it doesnt matter to him becoz bestbuy pre-bought all those albums at a set price and cant be returned.
Pink has never been a big album seller This is her first #1 album and albums sell only when they have multiple hits so it depends on support on radio

That part of the reason why Pink's next tour will be in Europe. She isn't make much money in the USA as before. And the European music fans are more open-mind with different musical tastes anyway.

Yeah, she said it the week her album came out here, that the next tour was in Europe and that she would "like" to do some dates here, so her relatives can come as she put it, but thats it in a nutshell. However her album considering the industry and the economy, is selling better here for her than the last one did by far at this point.

Well at least she does some promo here and the albums definately do well enough to be released, that's for sure. When that doesn't happen, it will kind of suck (yet I own nothing by her...:shrugs:)

I don't know if it was actually a good idea to release this album. To me, it seems more an Axl Rose album, and I did like some of the songs for the first or second listen, but this album definitely would have sold like crazy if it had been released in the 90s.
