Hurt was a massive hit in Europe, Candyman done massivly well in Australia, and Ain't No Other Man was a big hit Worldwide, so the singles didn't flop, and Back to Basics was number one in the US charts.
B2B proved that christina can do a 2-disc of boring music and still sell 4M(loyal fans) and tour worldwide with soldout tickets. end of discussion
any care to do the equation for THE OPEN DOOR?
All I know is that The Open Door did well without much promotion from their ****** record label. It's probably at 1.9 million by now. I pray that Amy Lee goes independent and releases her next album à la Radiohead/NIN. Nobody who is established needs to deal with what Evanescence dealt with on Wind-up.
