Interestingly, ther video of Everyday got pretty good airplay, but the single for it and Sorcerer failed to chart in any significant manner as did the actual record as I do not think TISL has sold over 1,000,000 records yet (although I readily admit I could be wrong about the sales). Moreover, I seem to remember that TISL got far better reviews overall than SYW as did the reviews for the singles, esp. POTU (dance and rock versions) and Sorcerer.
In sum, I think they are smart for focusing on what they knows works and pays very well - touring. Also, I think the venues on the first leg leg of this tour were far larger than a bunch of The Dance venues if I remember correctly. For example, in Atlanta, they played to a sold out crowd at Lakewood (maybe 5,000) and played to around 9,000 on this tour for a higher ticket price. Note: these numbers are an estimate of the actual numbers, but are probably fairly accurate.

I beg to differ... Everyday was a very popular song in my opinion. I guess I could say this because many kids at my school liked this song and they don't even know who Stevie is. Also, at Amazon.com, you can order this cd called teen mix 2001 (or something like that) and Everyday is in there. So I think that Everyday was a very successful song. Now as for Sorcerer, you are right. I never heard that on the radio or anything.
POTU was a hit though. It was number one (dance) and played on many tv shows, like charmed. I think a maxi single really helps matters!
I just wish they would realease Everybody Finds Out as a dance single with a maxi single to purchase. I think it would play on Rock Stations. I just feel bad, because I think that the song Say You Will was really good. But it hardly got any airplay. It deserved more!
