Comment by Ash August 5, 2010 @ 12:27 pmGreat! If they could just take a few hours and perform in Holland, they will be #1 here too! Unfortunately, I know that’s not going to happen, *sad face*. Stupid Lady Gaga or Eminem is ‘more popular’ here *very angry face*. Keep doing what your doing and don’t stop making new albums after this tour!!!!!!
