Bon Jovi’s new album debuted at number 1 on Friday on iTunes.
The album, called “Forever,” lasted five days in the top spot. But today it’s number 3, as Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish have pushed past it.
“Forever” has not engendered must streaming, and no tracks from it have caught on. But this is to be expected with legacy acts. Radio refuses to play new songs from the classic rock artists who keep them going 24/7.
Everyone from the Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen have experienced this strange phenomenon. Frankly, they should just pull their music off FM radio entirely. But they won’t.
“Forever” will barely last a week and then it will be gone. Since Jon Bon Jovi says he can’t tour to promote it, a lot of hard work will go down the drain. Too bad.
