True! His most recent Sob Rock went number 1. The last album that did that was Continuum in 06. Not to mention New Light which is a somewhat recent song topped anything prior!
The amazing here is that people sing along to Back To You. I remember during the Battle Studies era he said he wouldn't play stuff off of Heavier Things because people wouldn't know those songs. I always thought he was wrong about that, and there you go he was. And by the way, for all the people loving this - scour the internet for the Nokia Theater performance from 2008, titled "On His Own". That's such an awesome version of the thing he's doing here, with Coldplay and Prince covers among other fun stuff.
