I guess it sold about 1,000-1,500 in two days.

Very dissaiponting for Mick,but The Boss did great.

"No dope smoking no beer sold after 12 o'clock"

I figured Bruce would top the list. Surprised to see the Foo Fighters up there. I've given up on them. There's another band that sound the same on every friggin album.

Wow, though many of those bands are not popular here (babyshambles, pullni sisters, mark ronson, kathy melua, nightwish, gabrielle), they probably have something current to say (crappy or not). Most of Mick's solo stuff didn't sell all that great to begin with, so I imagine there is little interest in buying it in compilation. The only interest would be from fans who want the few unreleased items, like 'Too Many Cooks...'. Maybe a tour behind it would help.

I would like to see what an album of new material would do.

They've been crap for years. But Grohl's frog-faced mug is on every music publication in the UK.

The chances for a Top 40 debut are almost impossible now, the CD needs some big sales this Saturday:
