    "No Code": #77
    "Yield": #77
    "Lightning Bolt": #133
    "Binaural": #141

    *Does not include two weeks available on vinyl only (debuted at #55 vinyl-only, then fell to #173 before leaping to #1 upon the CD release).

    And Sirens is still doing well. But a good single doesn't always translate to album sales.

    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.

    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
