Anyone know where I can find stats on stuff like PJ album sales, chart positions, amount of airplay for singles, etc.? I've been searching around and I can't seem to find much. The only source I've found so far is the wikipedia page for each album.

I was curious to see if PJ had any other albums that had the chance to reach Platinum status but it doesn't look promising. If Binaural hasn't been able to break 800,000 after 13 years then I doubt any of the 2nd decade albums will reach the mark.
