This house is not for sale–but these concert tickets are. Bon Jovi’s 2016 album “This House is Not For Sale” sold 130,000 copies this week– two years later– and jumped to number 1 out of nowhere.

That’s because it was bundled with ticket sales for upcoming Bon Jovi shows. And if there’s one thing Bon Jovi still does really well is sell out shows. They are one live act everyone wants to see.

Ironically, the album only sold 128,000 copies the week it debuted in November 2016. Pretty funny– in a good way.

Still, ticket and CD bundles usually don’t do this well. But this marketing idea has revived their album– a really good album, by the way– and has given Bon Jovi a new lease on life. It’s good news all the way around.
