I can't imagine it's bothered them that much. Maybe if it reached number 51...

I mean, he’s got a point. And I’m pretty sure everyone understands that his point is aimed towards the casual fan, or listener. Most of us here obviously bought multiple versions.

Even if they got to the TUVL sales, I think they’d make it to the top. And I’m not even saying anything 10-15 years ago. The game has definitely changed. I think there was legitimately a chance to have a number one album, which may not mean a lot to us, but he definitely means something to the band, and as long as that keeps them going, then I’m OK with chart success and stuff.
