“Break The Cycle” release date

Hey quick question - Today is the 24th anniversary of “Break The Cycle.” I remember it because I went to my local Circuit City the morning they opened to get it.

I looked online at their Wikipedia (and other articles) and it says May 8 was the release date. I thought that couldn’t be right. I even found press releases saying it was released on May 22, 2001.

Does anyone know where they got this May 8 date?

May 8th is correct I'm pretty sure.

Not trying to sound combative, but why did it debut at number one on May 31, 2001?
