You cannot compare the 90's era sales to this

The early 90's were a completely different time in record sales. Online downloads have changed everything. I bet the number of people who actually own his album is in the 3 million range for the US. I could be way off but i wouldn't be sursrised at a number that high.
Plus there's no way a rock album is going to blow away numbers these days. Nickelback sells well b/c they sold out, SP sells the number of albums they do b/c they didn't.
If Billy decided to make his band sound like Fall Out Boy maybe they'd have a few mainstream singles (not that Tarantula didn't do well)but I'd prefer that the mighty SP decline in popularity but soar in the integrity of their own music than the other way around.
