Call It What You Want is still my jam! ADORE that song and my favourite one from the era.

It could've smashed... but it didn't and that's a shame!

I honestly don't think they'll have another hit. I think this is one of those cases where one single is SO huge that none of the other songs have any chance. Kind of like with Gotye... and I wouldn't be surprised if fun. follows suit.

At least the album will likely go Platinum (and hopefully actually surpass a million as well). I hope their success continues in the next eras!

Platinum for Torches will prove that they are not just another 1 hit wonder in my opinion...

Which new comer can sell 1 Million albums just with a hit single?

by the way boyth We Are Young and STIUTK are bigger hits than PUK.

PS. PUK is the best though!!!

Plenty, actually! Gotye seems to be heading that way, although we can't be sure yet.

Besides, they technically ARE a one-hit wonder until they get another hit single, no matter how much the album sells. : P

Anyway, I was just speculating. I can't see them having another hit single from this album at least, but I'll gladly be proven wrong.
