Commercial performance

edit

This Is Not the End debuted at number 19 in Australia. Lead singer Suze Demarchi said: "Somehow cracking the top twenty this time around feels better than hitting number one all those years ago. When people tell you it can't be done, it can, and you can do it your way. You can't do it alone but you don't have to compromise".[5]
