Really? The ones here seem to have a few commercials on late-night television and then fade into obscurity.

Or maybe I'm just not paying enough attention to the AM stations to notice them.

oh yes. really. they have CDs for sale in all the major outlets, prominently displayed, years after their appearances. it's really, really horrible. the British charts are really, really bad. and i mean compared to the US charts they're really bad, not just in general.
