It doesn't surprise me in the least that the EP is barely making a dent on the charts. Their only means of promoting it is via e-mail and via the live shows they played during the past week. And the problem with live shows is that, given the high price of tickets, a good chunk of the audience consists of older, affluent people who don't buy new music or kids who don't buy any music, period. Plus when you factor in the fact that it's currently iTunes only, the sales volume dwindles even further. I think they should count their lucky stars if they managed even 5,000 downloads.
