I'll guess 15 on Billboard based on 2 months of presales all hitting at the same time.

Will sales through Styxworld.com count?

I will have more comments once I have had a chance to listen a few times. But, I will say this. I am convinced that if this was a Dennis led project, people would be laughing at the theme, claiming he has lost his mind and become too theatrical and wondering who writes rock music about a going to space. I am not sure The Mission (or any of the songs) is an allegory for anything and I don't think you can write something like this without it being an allegory (i.e. there is no double meaning). There is too much Tommy, sounds like a solo record with high harmonies. This needed another Gowan led song. Still like Radio Silence the best. Also the song that was written by Will Evankovitch (Locomotive) is not bad but after a few more listens I may have a different view point.
The album is on Spotify. If you are ok listening to an occasional ad, you can listen without buying at this point. I will get a better sense of this once my actual CD arrives and I can listen in the car.

Is it just me or do songs like Trouble At The Big Show & Time May Bend basically go verse to chorus to solo to chorus to end? Are there even 2nd verses? I wish they would have developed such tracks more. They almost seem pointless being that short. (And I really am digging Time May Bend.)

To think back to all the past discussions here about how chart positions and performance of singles from Styx albums really means nothing. Evidently now it does.
