I agree about the video pre-release, etc, but the 2 song single WAS available pre-ABB & NO ONE played it then or now. This, as well as NFL, the DVD, etc are to keep sales if not up, from falling too precipitously...So, distasteful as it seems (or wicked...) they DO need this kind of exposure, as radio listeners & casual fans wouldnt even know the RS have a new album out. Maybe they should go on Oprah - guest shots REALLY spike sales...Charlie & Ron could weep on air about their health trials & tribulations, people eat that sh&t up. A shameless family therapist could come on & reconcile all KR/MJ's differences, Ron's feelings of marginalization, & Bill or Mick T could come out as a surprise & express their 'true feelings' as well...
PS B2B went platinum after 5 weeks too (shipments), after considerably less than 500,000 - but it did go on to sell 1.2 or 1.3 million here.
Bill on Opra: "Keith, er, all those years when you were strung out, and you shut me out...[Mick T nods in agreement] Well that really hurt, you know..."
Finally Oprah & Mick T chat about the pros & cons of various diets.
