MCA Records hoped that Lucky Day could stop a slump in sales at the label for 2002. While the album was a moderate commercial success (selling 352,000 copies by July 2005),[10] it did not sell as well as hoped, resulting in MCA's president, Jay Boberg, resigning from his position at the label in January 2003, and ultimately led to MCA being merged into Geffen Records in June 2003.[11]
