In the past couple of years, we've seen a few other examples of veteran artists releasing albums that significantly outperformed their previous releases. AC/DC's Black Ice has sold 2,168,000 copies, more than double the sales of 2000's Stiff Upper Lip, which has sold 966,000. Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 has sold 1,785,000 copies, up nicely from his 2007 release American Gangster, which has sold 1,154,000. Britney Spears' Circus has sold 1,659,000, also up nicely from her 2007 release Blackout, which has sold 985,000.

To Βlackout λοιπόν απέχει μόνο 15,000 αντίτυπα από το να γίνει πλατινένιο και το Circus έχει μια πολύ ικανοποιητική πορεία, αν και οι fans πιστεύουν ότι το νέο album пρέπει να φτάσει τα 2,000,000 αντίτυπα στην Αμερική.
