JONAS BROTHERS, KID ROCK BEAT OUT STAIND

On this week’s Billboard 200 album chart, Staind’s new album came in third behind collections from The Jonas Brothers and Kid Rock.

Staind will not be able to notch their fourth consecutive Number One album with The Illusion Of Progress. Not only did the Jonas Brothers album A Little Bit Longer hold the Number One slot, but Kid Rock’s Rock And Roll Jesus slid into the Number Two slot, leaving labelmate Staind at Number Three.

While some might think the Illusion Of Progress might refer to the music scene, singer Aaron Lewis actually shared that it was a phrase the band blurted out during writing of the album.

“Well, when it came out it seemed to be the perfect album title, but we were just goofing off, not doing what we were supposed to be doing. We were supposed to be working, and my producer said something about it. My reply was ‘Yeah, it’s kind of like the illusion of progress,’ and it was kind of apparent that that was a really good name for the record.”

Staind is set to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, August 28.
