Additionally, the band undertook a series of in-store CD signings, at chains like [[Tower Records]] and [[CD World]]. They also stopped by [[mom-and-pop]] record shops, as part of a targeted campaign to "game" the charts to win a number-one debut. "The way album sales were measured, you had to spread them out. Some sales were weighted more than others. [...] It was a whole complicated system that every label was trying to game, but it’s how you got the numbers," Hoppus remembered in his book.<ref name="f182"/> The band continued to partner with [[MTV]], making several appearances on ''[[Total Request Live]]''; Hoppus guest-hosted the 2001 [[MTV Movie Awards]] Pre-Show with [[Beyoncé]].<ref name="o321">{{cite web | title=MTV Movie Awards 2001 | website=IMDb | date=July 11, 2025 | url=https://www.imdb.com/gallery/rg98671104/mediaviewer/rm2462948096/ | access-date=July 11, 2025}}</ref>
