    And other don't reach it at all.

    13 million is alot for a band like Pearl Jam. Alot.

    It sucks that, that Anaconda-song gets like 400 millions views... but I mean, compare it to some other artists and 13 is a feat.

    Yea 13 million is nothing to sneeze at . JB didn't get that many in its first year. And that's their first platinum single.

    Yeah, 13 million views really is a LOT for this kind of band. I can't say I'm too impressed that Sirens is their big hit in terms of the public's tastes, but oh well.

    I think if they had a record company help push the song and album it could be double or triple.

    Not yet which is surprising. It's somewhere over 400k sold.Usually they get to gold within 6 months

    Wow, I am surprised, especially since Sirens did seem to have some mainstream success. Do digital sales count in regards to album sales? It seems today a lot of people don't buy or download an entire album, but just a song or two that they like. I would think this probably hurts overall album sales. Maybe with the Fall US Tour coming up sales will get a boost.

    Yes if they buy the whole album.

    Of course they pronounced Jeff's name wrong.

    And yeah, what the hell is wrong with the woman who announced the winner? Did she have money riding on one of the losers? Lol

    Very, very nice acceptance speech.

    That was a wonderful speech. Triple thumbs up to Jeff's comments on collaboration. And yes, even though as always I felt the Grammys made some crazy decisions (but I know, it's all subjective, yadda yadda yadda), I fully agree that it's good they continue to recognize great album art even when in terms of mainstream releases there are few albums anymore and hardly anything physical to even package (hello, iTunes). Cool recognition.
