Hmmm...the US peaks for the albums don’t seem quite right.
From what I recall, someone wrote Keith from the ’Ask Billboard’ section a while back about Roxette’s album chart history. ’Tourism’ peaked at #100-something - and he stated it was the last Roxette album to crack the Billboard 200. ’Crash! Boom! Bang!’ - the album - never charted because the full length version was only limited to music clubs like BMG and Columbia House. As far as I know, the full length version was never commercially available at record stores.
I think ’Joyride’ - the album - peaked at #12, but I can’t confirm this. ’Look Sharp!’ reached #20-something, and I’m not certain about this either. But I think these are the rough positions from what I remember. But chart “positions” are irrelevant anyway. It’s the sales that count in the end. Some albums go platinum and never break the Top 50 portion of the Billboard 200.
As for ’Don’t Bore Us’ it never charted on the Billboard 200 as far as I know. It only charted on the Independent Albums chart.

By the way, it tooks about 8 000 sold copies in order to get onto the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart - so you could say DBU-U.S. never sold anything near a million copies as I read somewhere at this forum before.

I would also like to know charts for the USA, especially sales information for the albums. I’ve always wondered how much they’ve sold in the USA with their albums.
