Well Brand New has a huge cult following that's based more on their albums than any particular single. AAR and Neon Trees are much more singles-driven than fanbase-fueled sales.

I blame Neon Trees' shortcoming on the lack of promotion though, AP.net is literally the only place I've seen Picture Show even mentioned.

Well they've only had one single up to this week that no radio station played. They could still have success with "Kids In The Street."

I don't think the economy has anything to do with it. CDs and albums was way cheaper than they've ever been. It's the buying habits that have changed.

that's weakkk especially since they're a bit more talented than fun is, not that I don't like both but they should have definitely done better meh I guess if your song isn't playing in a commercial constantly you can't sell an album? terrible

This neon trees album is sick good.
