![]() Staind have promoted the album by allowing selected fans to preview it on their tour bus, and touring after its release for a whole year, including mini tours to Australia and solo tours across Europe, as well as the famous Fall Brawl Tour with Flyleaf, Taproot and P.O.D. ![]() Aaron Lewis has said in relation to this in the booklet of the Special Edition of the album: "Having three straight number one albums was a nice big screw you to a lot of people who have slagged us. Even after a full year, it remained fairly consistent on the Billboard 200. A special edition, with five bonus tracks, an extra booklet, and a DVD was released several months later. All the same, it was regarded as one of the most anticipated albums of the year in the U.S. However, it marked Staind's lowest debut so far in the UK, at number 112. ![]() Since its release, it has sold 1,200,000 copies in the United States and 1,500,000 worldwide. The album includes a track called "Paper Jesus" targeted at record company executives who idolize money instead of music and "Reply", an open letter replying to fan mail that Aaron Lewis and the rest of the band have received over the years (the original version can be found on the Special Edition). It also showcases a heavier side to the band on selected tracks (reminiscent of some content on Dysfunction), and emphasizes a balance between both styles of the band's sound. Lead singer Aaron Lewis has stated that he thinks " Chapter V is the best record the band has released to date", and the album continues the evolution from the messages on 14 Shades of Grey to messages of hope and uncertainty. "Falling" and "Everything Changes" have also been released with accompanying videos. Its first single "Right Here" was the most successful at both rock and pop stations and it was used in a video package by World Wrestling Entertainment commemorating the professional wrestler known as Edge after he won his first WWE Championship. It was released on August 9, 2005, and debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first week sales of 185,000 copies, and spawned a hit single along with three moderately successful singles on rock radio. Chapter V is the fifth studio album by American rock band Staind.
