    So I'm guesstimating around 310-320k in sales so far. And still going strong

    Yeah, it really is going strong. Sirens still going pretty strong too. They'll ride that as long as they can and I think there is potential for at least two more singles (Getaway and Lightning Bolt). They could go softer with Sleeping By Myself or Future Days, but I think Getaway is a super-catchy rock song that would tear it up in the Alternative and Modern Rock formats for sure. Probably not much crossover appeal, but you never know.

    I'm surprised Sirens hasn't crossed over to Top 40 yet. I know people here don't want that to happen. But it would be nice for them to have a Top 10 single

    Yeah, me too. I think it was climbing up the Hot AC chart for a little while but dropped after a few weeks.

    It's probably because the song is almost 6 mins long and the radio edit is just crap, in my opinion.

    Looks like Lightning Bolt will be the next single.

    It's going to be a slow sales week.

    Final numbers on Hitsdailydouble.com don't have PJ in the top 50. I'm guessing sales somewhere in the 3-5k range

    I could see another huge drop with the grammy nominees and winners gaining. Especially when they have sales on those albums.

    I didn't see it but I read that they played Sirens while doing an interview with John Elway. Well an instrumental version

    A lot of re-entries because of the Grammys and some new releases. Lightning Bolt is out of the Top 200

    Bummer! Maybe it'll re-enter in the next week or two. Hopefully a new single (Getaway, I'm hearing) will give it a little boost. Wouldn't hurt to do an SNL or something like that before they head to Europe.

    I don't know how many it sold this week. But if it stays even it could get back on. Also Sirens is still doing well. But it hasn't crossed over yet. Maybe it won't. A new single will help some. Hopefully they do a Letterman, SNL, Fallon, or even a Jimmy Kimmel appearance.

    Not sure if it's anything. But on Allaccess.com Lightning Bolt is taking off in 2 stations. So perhaps this will be the 3rd single

    That's disappointing, I thought LB would have better long term success. I really enjoyed LB, I hope it gains some momentum again.

    The album just wasnt strong enough overall to hold peoples attention.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
