Billboard.biz shows it going the week of June 28.
The piano ballad on the album for those that have not heard it. It reminds me way too much of Estranged, but this might be the last shot to get the album over the 3 million sales bump (2.71 million on Nielsen as of June 1).
Still a very solid album after a liitle age, I wish Shackler's Revenge or I.R.S. would see the light of day soon.

The album has already sold that much? For some reason, I didn't even think it hit 1 million.

Shackler's Revenge has probably the best chorus on the album. I don't see it as a single though

This is a good choice if they wanted to go for a different approach. Still would of prefered "Shackler's Revenge" though.

I prefer Better, Sorry, Chinese Democracy, Shackler's Revenge, This I Love, and I.R.S. over this song.

I keep thinking of the weird Estranged video when I hear this.

Chinese Democracy was certified platinum in U.S. seven weeks after its release.

What does Billboard have to do with certifications? And they sold a million to the stores who will sell them eventually.

And they sold a million to the stores who will sell them eventually. I think that's a bit optimistic, at least within the next few years. And I think it's pretty B.S. that an artist can ship a million copies in their first week and get certified platinum. |

It's a way to puff up the numbers so that the music industry doesn't look as bad as it really is.

The albums then end up being in the bargain bin or sent back to be put to pasture in a landfill....with all the old ET cartridges that didn't sell in the early 80's :)
