position on Billboard 200?

Memory was in the Top 3 in Austria and in the Top 5 in Germany and Switzerland

Agreed! It's not a proper album from the band, and there has been zero promotion for it, as well as zero lead in time. We all literally found out there was going to be a release a little over a month ago.

So I will repeat what Captain Jovi has said - You can't compare this to a regular Bon Jovi album release. You just can't.

Will debute at #7 acording to this.

Yes you can. To the fans it's a new album even if it was 25 years old to the band. Why does an album need months of promo? You telling me if Metallica or U2 dropped an album in 4 weeks it would sell less than 14000 copies? Are you also saying that 20,000 fans (since WAN) are oblivious to this album because lack of promo? No chance.

Let's have a guess that the new 2016 album will sell how many copies?????

so...

#1 What About Now
101,000 Copies

#7 Burning Bridges
24,541 Copies

Lack of promo [emoji3]

I think also influences the month. August is a month of low sales.

Except for diehards who want the physical CD to add to their collection, there was zero incentive to go to a store to buy it.

No liner notes, no pictures, not even the hard plastic case to protect the sleeve. Just a CD in a cardboard cover! And all the songs are available on Youtube with lyrics.

Why would a casual fan need to buy it? And with zero promotion, how would they or even longtime fans, even know about it?

No wonder sales numbers are low.
