Just because it is being heavily promoted, does not mean it is being promoted right. B&D should not have been the main song which was performed at all of the end of the year shows and shows in early Jan. I think it's a fun song, but not a good song to promote a new album with, especially since it turns many people off. And yes, those TV performances do have an impact on sales. Then there is the cover art and title which definitely have an impact on casual shoppers when they look on the shelf and both the cover art and title could have been quite a bit better IMO.

I don't think that is it either. If it had been mostly pure rock on the album, it would be one of my favorite albums from her.

I would doubt it. Anyone that is willing to fork over $80 for a concert would have likely already bought the CD.
