In its third week, Saviors is still #11 in the Austrian Album Charts, that's great!

I’m still waiting for the I Get Around cover. Didn’t Billie leak that the same day he leaked 1981?

I forgot he covered I Get Around. I believe that song inspired Corvette Summer in some way.

[DannyDirnt]

I've had Suzie Chapstick stuck in my head all day. It's definitely one of the catchiest in the album and it has simple, but beautiful lyrics. It would make a great single. I'd also love to hear a live acoustic version, the song would feel more emotional.

For comparison, FOAMF was at 191 at this point before not appearing on the chart after that point

FOAMF's history on the chart. 4 > 111 > 191

Savior's chart performance (so far). 4 > 87 > 184

I really think they had momentum with this album release and should have kept up the promotion, really saturating the media with their faces and performances on late night TV and popular YouTube shows that millions watch, promoting both Saviors and the anniversary tour. One week wasn't enough.

100% agree. I'm really shocked they only did the one late night appearance. I thought they'd do more and maybe even perform on Good Morning America, which they usually do during the new album cycle. They did a lot of great interviews, but I think they did more performances for FOAM promotion.

[Yosuke Hanamura]

IMO, if this was a typical album cycle, where the boys go full swing on touring and promotion, TADIKM and Dilemma could've hit the Hot 100.

Rockin' Eve was the most amount of attention they got in a little while, and capitalizing on that could've done wonders for them. 

I get it though, they have nothing to prove.

They may have nothing to prove they put a lot of time, effort and money into making great music you would think they would want to maximize their returns on that and get Saviors the recognition it deserves

It would be dumb to just go underground until the tour. Hope we get more promotion/singles/videos eventually

Although Billie has been sharing Saviors fan art and fan covers on Instagram pretty much every day

[jengd]

And it’s lovely to see and must be great for them but it’s not really spreading the word to a wider audience.

THIS! At least give March of this year the GD spotlight and I'll be happy.

I really wanna hear adeline, fancy sauce, suzie chapstick live. They have to do something with this album. I think the album will have a lot more fans if they start promoting heavily and ditch older songs.

Coma City needs to be played. And strange days.

He does lots and lots of woo hoos on Saviors, at least I think he does.

[The 99th revolution]

Do we call Mike Woohoo by the nickname Dirnt, Mike by the nickname Woohoo Dirnt or cry to Mike Woohoo Dirnt on the telephone; 'how long now?'

[That Dude]

Wikipedia says fans like it, and that critics gave it generally favorible reveiws.   Wikipedia is the end all, be all...so that's enough for me.  

Album 15 thread activate!!!!!!

 

[The 99th revolution]

Wait another 4 years. We waited 4 years for RevRad, FOAM and this album
