It will hopefully shift about 5 copies, PJ will realise that the overt commercialisation of PJ hasn't worked and will go back to cool shit that RM likes.

I know you didn't. I was making a joke but it made me realise that the people you're referring to like them all out of the mainstream on one of the biggest labels in the world.
