I agree with most of what's been said so far. There wasn't half as much marketing for this album than there was for AI and besides that, the videos and singles aren't played a lot on TV/radio, at least here (okay, I rarely watch TV but from what I know, other styles of music are way more popular than rock music is). I can't complain about it though because with all the extensive radio airplay the singles off AI got, I became kind of annoyed by it and I would not want that to happen to the 21st Century Breakdown album. And why would they need to be #1 anyway? They sell out arenas, play all over the world and above all: they play Wembley Stadium next summer!!! Seeing us, their fans, is probably the most valuable thing they can get for their music.
