I think it could. How about releasing it and promoting it in USA then it defenitly will.

Yes, definitely. Greatest Hits albums sell all the time. Let’s wait a year or two and the figure might hang around 5 million or so.

Yes,
If you see that they get quit a lot of attention (compared to the last few years) and since it is a compilation of greatest hits.
Yhose kind of albums always sell better, because the non-regular fans buy these albums (if they buy any).

i think it can’t oversell HAND. it charted to bad in terretories like germany, south america,... which are known as rox-friendly regions. i hope i’m wrong, but when TBH will oversell RS we can all be satisfied.

I have to agree with rafael. Germany for example is one of the three biggest music markets in the worl, TBH only peaked at Number 10, but Room Service and HAND both spent weeks in the top 5. That is a huge difference.

@th th: you have to look more carefully at all those charts! because when TBH was released in Germany there was big competition with other big artists! so if TBH were released in April 03 for example it could have been at # 1 while selling the same amount of copies in the same period..

small talker, do you have the sale numbers for the last three albums? Or how do you know?
