I've never heard "Wind it up" on the radio, but "The Sweet Escape" is on all the time. Where do you find the exact sales figures for an album everyweek?

I got The Sweet Escape for Christmas, but I hadn't been listening to it until just recently. It was kind of blahhhh to me when I first listened, but I'm loving a lot more of it now. My favorite tracks are Wind It Up, The Sweet Escape, Yummy, Don't Get It Twisted, and Wonderful Life. Orange County Girl and Now That You Got It still have a lot of growing to do. But I think the sales are relatively low because of not enough exposure to the other singles. It seems that Wind It Up is still the focus in terms of marketing, but that's shifting toward The Sweet Escape, despite the fact that there haven't been many (if any) live TV performances of it.

After looking at all the charts in the US, it can be said that:

Wind It Up was more popular in the sales department.
The Sweet Escape is shaping up yo be a big airplay hit.

Well ya know Gwen and No Doubt's albums are usually slow, steady sellers.

They rarely go to #1 but they sell millions eventually. Look at what happened to L.A.M.B., Rock Steady, and Tragic Kingdom.

Those albums never went to #1, started off moderate sales, stayed on the charts for a long time and boom - sold millions

I think it'll be the same with this album. People are just starting to warm up to it

O M G Did anyone check out the clip?

Gwen can't sing live LOL. And OMG what was she wearing? And her hair was "WTF?"

She looked like a beetle/cheetah O.O!

I love the 2nd clip. She's so down-to-earth.

"Wind it Up" is like her worse live song. I love it on cd, but not so much live. But that part where she goes "Wind it uhhhh-COME OOOOONNN!" had me rollin'. I love you, Gwen!
