Then you can take the marketing in tot he calculation, how much have AB had and how much have Stapp had? AB= second to none and Stapp = alot!

Just to be fair, AB did get good promotion leading up to the release of ODR. Maybe not as good as Stapp's promotion for his solo album, but they still got a fair bit. And I still say that releasing ODR just a mere two months after the break-up was announced helped ODR's record sales some. Creed was still fresh in the minds of potential buyers in August of 2004. A year later, I'd venture to say that a lot of people forgot about Creed, outside of the real fans. So I think that has something to do with Stapp and AB's sales being roughly the same(in terms of week by week sales). Just speculation on my part, though.

And ODR has sold 700,000? That's awesome. Hopefully it eventually goes platinum.
