I doubt they would fit 21 songs on cd. Tusk has 20 that fits onto one cd but Lindsey wrote a bunch of really short songs. Christine's were kinda short too. They're not writing stuff like that now. 21 would definitely be a double album.

For example, if we cap it at 80 minutes...and they would never go all the way to 80 minutes on one disc....they would need to average 3 minutes and 48 seconds. Say You Will averaged 4 minutes and 13 seconds. That's a 25 second per song gap. And for good measure Christine averaged pretty much exactly the same song length on In the Meantime as Say You Will. If they averaged the same length for 21 songs it would be around 89 minutes. Which is a good length for a double album. Not too long.
