Doesn't LB hold up pretty damn well in the charts? People were saying at the time that Backspacer was a pretty big success, but doesn't LB blow it out of the water with its chart position?

Chart wise. But sales, I think Backspacer is ahead.

is it possible to get the sales numbers in these updates? i understand it's not apples to apples with the changes in the industry, but i think it would still be interesting.
Pretty crazy that Ten is #22 in that era considering all the giant pop acts that have come along in the last 20+ years.
Pop acts tend to sell more singles, especially during the last ten years of rapidly declining album sales across the industry. It is a rare occurrence for someone to sell 10 million copies in the current environment. I believe Adele's "21" is the only album released in the last ten years to break 10 million in U.S. sales.

unless someone is part of Nielsen Soundscan or knows someone.

really surprised to see backspacer did this well after this amount of time.
As strange as it is for me to say this, since I'm the one posting these comparisons, album-chart comparisons are problematic these days because of things like the $5.00 "Backspacer" sale that Target had, or the limited-time $3.99 sales they have on iTunes for different albums at various times.
"Sirens" is still holding up well at rock radio, but it has not been picked up at pop radio. That's really the only thing that might boost album sales. A third single is unlikely to make much of a difference in sales.

Yeay! Hopefully the new single brings it back into a healthy position for a bit.

I read somewhere that total sales are around 378k right now
i saw someone, I think igotid88, say it was back between 190 and 200 on the BB200
Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river
