Infinity ‘ s first week was a major success and was the band’s biggest selling week, selling 260,000 copies to debut at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 and inside the top five worldwide. This charting was first started with lead single ” The Carpal Tunnel of Love “, with minor success on the Billboard charts. This success was bolstered by the further-successful second single ” This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race “, which reached No. 2 in both the US and UK as well as the top five in many other countries. On the band’s decision to pick the song as a single, Wentz commented “There may be other songs on the record that would be bigger radio hits, but this one had the right message.” ” Thnks fr th Mmrs “, the third single, peaked at No. 12, and went on to sell over two million copies in the US. It found its greatest success in Australia, where it charted at No. 3.
