The album was a big success in Europe, and a modest success in the UK, but failed to sell as well in the US because George was not able to tour and promote the record there due to drugs-related restrictions, so Sold reached only number 145 on the Billboard 200,[2] even though Boy George had been a multi-platinum artist with Culture Club in previous years.
