According to Charts News: Americana and Smash are growing up in Sales

[Nachoes]

I'd find it more impressive if sales were decreasing, as that would be impossible.

And I believe that the self titled album is the 'least' popular album, as it never got mainstream, unlike everything that came after Smash.

Well I meant post Smash.

Well I meant post Smash.

Days Go By is the least popular album post-smash. Even though you can't count record sales since the industry landscape is too different between Smash and Days Go By, the record didn't create any kind of buzz. It only has one hit single (Splinter had two), and is unlikely to get another. It's also the first time one of their records charted outside of the top 10 since Ignition.

wikipedia says splinter was 30 on the billboard 200 when it came out that's wrong isn't it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splinte...certifications

That is surprising because I think Days Go By is a far better Album than Splinter.

I think you guys are binding the word 'popular' to the number of albums sold.

Of course Days Go By is 'less popular' then. It only has been out for 6 months, while Splinter's been out for exactly 9 years and 10 days now. Aside from that, every year CD sales drop since it's free and very easy to download albums.

Not to mention that people just don't appreciate rock music like they used to, even 5 years ago, and it was on the decline even then.

Ah, you guys are right. I completely forgot about Splinter.
