New chart positions: Swedish airplaycharts wk 41 #9 (13). German airplaycharts wk 41 #22 (27). First midweekchart in Germany #22 (10,65 %). Remember not to buy the single at Media Markt etc. ;o)

cskendras said on October 15, 2002 12:29:

not from media markt????????

why didn’t anyone say anything?‘???? :-(((((

think, i must buy it twice......

Gellner said on October 15, 2002 12:39:

I tried to explain this some time ago: There’s retailers that count better for the charts and there’s retailers that count less. While only 1 out of around 60 sold singles at Media Markt reflects to the charts every single at smaler retailers (such as amm aktiv märkte) counts for the charts....

room-service said on October 15, 2002 13:01:

Graet news :)
What about the daily sales trendcharts (or is this the midweek-chartposition? ;)) Thanx

RoxiRoxt said on October 15, 2002 13:01:

didn´t understand this media markt thing. i bought the single at media markt and I don´t think that this was wrong. it was the only shop in my town who had the single

Ingo said on October 15, 2002 13:21:

Thanks Gellner for the information and please keep us informed everday!! Thank you very much!

sunnyday said on October 15, 2002 14:07:

what if when you order it online? does it count?

Gellner said on October 15, 2002 14:13:

Well, the midweeks are the daily trendcharts. Regarding Media Markt: It’s not WRONG to buy it there - it’s just better for the chartposition if you buy the CD in a specialised Music Store like AMM - even Karstadt is better than Media Markt. - Regarding online orders - that’s fine, much better than Media Markt again. - But don’t worry too much it’s better to BUY it anywhere than downloading it or burning it! Will keep you updated. Airplaytrend in Germany today was #20. Best regards, Gellner.

DTR24 said on October 15, 2002 19:30:

Cryyyy buaaahhh i also bought it from Media Markt.
AHHHH no no no no AHHH

room-service said on October 16, 2002 13:15:

Hey Gellner, what about the newest daily trendcharts? Is ATAY still in the Top 25 or Top 30? Thanks a lot :)

Gellner said on October 16, 2002 14:18:

Midweek today is #33 :o( let’s hope it’s not only us buying the CD....Airplay midweek still #20.

PerFanatic said on October 16, 2002 17:06:

hey Gellner, can you confirm the following for the German airplay chart:

91, 41, 27, 23

or did I miss a week in between 41 and 27?

Thanks!

room-service said on October 16, 2002 17:41:

@PerFanatic: This week it’s on 22 not on 23 - have a look at my list:
http://www.roxette-charts.de.vu/atay_radio.html

Gellner said on October 16, 2002 17:50:

@perfanatic: No you haven’t missed anything it’s as follows:
wk38 #91
wk39 #41
wk40 #27
wk41 #22

cheers, Gellner

CRIZ said on October 16, 2002 19:03:

@Gellner...I bought my singel at a store called Mega company. (RED ZAC)..hmm maybe that was wrong too?? Didn’t have another choice in my small stupid homecountry....Anyway..Thanx for the charts...as usual!! :) Keep it up!

room-service said on October 17, 2002 13:47:

Hey Gellner, what about the newest midweek position? I hope still in the Top 40 - Thanks a lot for keeping us up to date :)

Gellner said on October 17, 2002 14:27:

Hi! Sad news ATAY drops another 10 places at the sales midweeks to #43. Should be good enough for an ongoing VIVA rotation, anyway. Airplaytrend is #19 (20) today. Best, Gellner
@CRIZ - Red Zack - hmmm don’t know to be honest could be brilliant or worst case szenario (so not reporting) - but probably it’s not a bad choice - ask them next time if they report to media control...

room-service said on October 17, 2002 14:40:

Thanks! Hmm, I hope the song enters the Top 40 of the official charts, so that it’ll enter the VIVA B-Playlist...

room-service said on October 18, 2002 13:35:

I can’t stand it not to post my standard question: What about the newest midweek chartposition of ATAY? ;)) Thanks

Gellner said on October 18, 2002 14:11:

Midweek today is #45 (43) 4,72%. Airplay still #19 (19). ;o)

Sascha said on October 18, 2002 15:31:

Gellner, what means the %-number? Do you know if generally sales are higher in the beginning of the week or all days equally? Just curious.

room-service said on October 19, 2002 12:33:

@Gellner: Same procedure ;) - What about the newest midweek chartposition of ATAY? Thanks :)

@Sascha: Gellner already explained it to me ;) it’s the percentage of the sales of the current number one - that means if the number one sold 1000 cds atay sold 4,72 % of it (=47 cds)

Sascha said on October 19, 2002 23:41:

Aha, thank you!

Sascha said on October 21, 2002 09:57:

Now, how’s the german chart-entry gonna be?

room-service said on October 21, 2002 12:44:

@Sascha: Tomorrow afternoon we will probably (if Gellner is so kind:)) get to know where ATAY entered the german Top 100.

room-service said on October 21, 2002 12:45:

@Gellner: Can you tell us where we can find ATAY this week in the official AirplayCharts? Thank you :)

Gellner said on October 21, 2002 14:36:

Hi all. The News of the day: ATAY Swedish airplaycharts wk43: #13 (9). German airplaycharts wk 43:#19 (midweek today#17). German sales midweek: #57 (50). Charts will be posted tomorrow around 5.00pm. Kindly, Gellner

P.S. Room Service: Monday sales are o.k. - Saturday sales are the best - if you sell 1000 copies on a weekday you usually sell at least 5000 on a Saturday.

Gellner said on October 21, 2002 15:50:

News from DK: ATAY entered the official Top 50 single charts:

News From Switzerland: ATAY entered the offical single charts at:

Greetz,
Gellner

Gellner said on October 22, 2002 15:08:

Here we go with the german chart entry for wk 43 (official single charts): #37!! Which means a B-Rotation on VIVA!
All the best and congrats to room-service who guessed it would be #37 ;o) - and a better entry than AoB....

room-service said on October 22, 2002 15:21:

Thank you ;)) You see I’m a good predicter LOL

Top 40 is great I think, I hope this time the first position won’t be the peak position :-/

cskendras said on October 22, 2002 15:22:

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stevier said on October 22, 2002 21:53:

In the Netherlands ATAY -sadly- didn’t make the top 100 in the first week (probably because the single is available almost nowhere).

Stefan

Gellner said on October 23, 2002 09:51:

News from Austria:
ATAY entered the official single charts at #39.

daniel_alv said on October 24, 2002 07:55:

It’s just great
when i look at this page i just ask myself... are Roxette very big in Germany? Here in Stockholm it’s just three (?) stations that play it at all... the big hit chanells has never played it as far as i know...
http://www.roxette-charts.de.vu/atay_radio.html

Th_Th said on October 24, 2002 08:45:

I would not say that Roxette is huge in Germany, But I think I would be right in saying, that Roxette have accomplished a really good status in Germany. Their reputation has improved a lot during the years and so far, every album entered the Top 5. A thing about you into the top 40, after all those years... I think that is such good news... lets hope it will get into the top 20...
I think, they have reached this status here, that whatever they would release, it would be a success... they have got a lot of fans here...

Gellner said on October 28, 2002 14:14:

German official airplaychart wk 43: #16 (19) with 330 plays. Airplay midweek today# 15 (16).

daniel_alv said on October 28, 2002 14:17:

ATAY fell on tracks this week from #7 to #9

Gellner said on October 28, 2002 17:45:

Latest german sales midweek is #70 (66). Danish official single chart this week is: #38 (41). Best regards, Gellner

Sascha said on October 29, 2002 22:41:

What about the german sales?

Kiwein1 said on October 29, 2002 23:07:

Yes, give us the chart results from germany please...!

Gellner said on October 30, 2002 16:30:

Hi guys - sorry totally forgot to look up the german charts - and it seems I knew why: ATAY dropped to #66 (37) this week :o( - So no more VIVA rotation. ONYX doesn’t play the video anymore either...

Gellner said on October 30, 2002 17:19:

Czech Airplaycharts wk 43: ATAY#6 (7). Greetz Gellner

room-service said on October 30, 2002 18:04:

@Gellner: Thanks for the info. But are you sure with the ONYX Playlist, because this playlist doesn’t depend so much on the charts as the Viva Playlist. ATAY was for example in the C-Playlist as it hasn’t entered the charts or M&T&H was in the ONYX B-Playlist although it didn’t enter the Top 50.

cskendras said on October 30, 2002 18:38:

he folks lets buy another single to help roxette!! i’ll buy one and give it as prsent to a friend of mine...:-)

Gellner said on October 31, 2002 12:17:

@room-service: Well, ATAY was playlisted at ONYX but it’s not included in their new playlist - which obviously means it’s dropped. Anyway if someone wants to see the video on TV again check the VIVA Top 100 this week - they will show it. Kind regards, Gellner

room-service said on October 31, 2002 13:18:

@Gellner: Today they published their new playlist (31.10.-6.11.) on their website and ATAY is still included in the B-Playlist:
http://www.onyx.tv/tv/playlist/index.php

Cool, Viva will play it at the Top 100 show altough it lost 29 positions :)

kixpl said on November 1, 2002 13:45:

In Poland the most important, and the most known radio station is RMF FM (23% of listeners), and Roxette, A Thing About You has been four times a #1 on the POPLISTA chart. It seems to be a hit because since 1999 Roxette haven’t been there as #1. You may check it out: http://www.rmf.fm/audycje.html?a=pl

PerFanatic said on November 1, 2002 17:22:

hey kixpl, can you explain this chart to me. My tracking shows that ATAY has only been #1 this week (31-Oct) and last week (25-Oct), but I could have made a mistake. It seems as though the numbers in the 2nd and 3rd column should be the last weeks, and 2 weeks ago chart positions, but this doesn’t make sense either because for ATAY, it show 5 and 15, which I know is not right. Anyway, this is what I am showing. If you know it’s different, please let me know and I’ll change it on my tracking sheet, cause obviously, I don’t know exactly how to interpret this particular chart.

#3, #7, #3, #1, #1

Thanks!
Jim

kixpl said on November 1, 2002 17:53:

Yes exactly, the 1st column shows the current position, of course, the 2nd shows a position that was taken a day before, and the 3rd one says how many days a song is on the chart. The same situation is on any other charts. The song ATAY jumps all the time, from the position #1 to #3 then to #5, and jumps up to #1 again, etc. I am trying to listen to the chart every day, but if i am not able to do that, then i just read a subscribed e-mail with the current chart. As I remember Roxette was: #12 #5 #3 #1 #1 #1 ...... can’t remember #3 #5 #1 right now. Maybe someone will correct this. But it’s the 4th day with #1 at least.

j_karlsson2 said on November 2, 2002 18:04:

Third week on Swedish radio chart “Trackslistan”! Up from #9 to #6!

room-service said on November 4, 2002 14:13:

Hey Gellner, what about the newest Airplaycharts? Can we find ATAY now in the Top 15?
Thaks a lot :))

PerFanatic said on November 4, 2002 17:41:

@kixpl,
ok, so the second column is the previous DAY not WEEK and this is a daily chart. That explains a lot. Thanks for explaining:)

daniel_alv said on November 4, 2002 17:52:

Roxette stays at no. 13 in the swedish airplaychart

Gellner said on November 5, 2002 09:31:

ATAY in the Austrian charts wk 44 #42 (40). German official airplaychart position wk 44 #17 (16) with 393 plays.

Ingo said on November 5, 2002 13:56:

What about the german single charts and the trend for the album? Thanks a lot!!!

Gellner said on November 5, 2002 14:15:

@ Ingo. - German single charts and trend for the album are comeing around 5.00pm. New official chart position in Switzerland (wk 44) is #35 (38). Greetz, Gellner

Gellner said on November 5, 2002 15:15:

First german midweek for “The Ballad Hits” is #12. There’s 5 New entries ahead of TBH.... ATAY drops to #79 (67) in the midweeks.

Sascha said on November 5, 2002 18:29:

ATAY #79 in the midweeks or the regular charts?

room-service said on November 5, 2002 18:58:

@Gellner: Thanks for all the infos :) What about ATAY 3rd weeks positions in the salescharts?

@Sascha: I’m quoting Gellner: “ATAY drops to #79 (67) IN THE MIDWEEKS.” - Do you still have a question? ;)))

Gellner said on November 6, 2002 11:22:

Sorry forgot the salescharts again. Official german single charts wk45 #69 (66). Regards, Gellner.

Sascha said on November 6, 2002 11:29:

@room-service: Yes, I can read myself! But Gellner could have made a mistake. ;-)

room-service said on November 6, 2002 13:08:

@Gellner: Thanks, but this are really sad news :( I thought the 3rd week would be better than the 2nd...

@Sascha: Gellner doesn’t make any mistakes ;)
BTW In this case there would have been 2 mistakes, because than the position in brackets also would have been wrong (67 instead of 66) ;))

Gellner said on November 6, 2002 15:25:

Todays german midweeks are: TBH# 13 (12), ATAY #81 (79). Best regards, Gellner

Gellner said on November 7, 2002 15:26:

Germans midweeks today: TBH #10 (13). ATAY 69 (81).

animalkingdom said on November 7, 2002 16:12:

How are Björk’s & U2’s compilations doing?

Especially curious about Björk - is she above Roxette?

PerFanatic said on November 7, 2002 16:17:

I don’t know, but I wouldn’t mind having her “above” me:)

Rich-UK said on November 7, 2002 17:19:

How successful has ATAY been across Europe compared with TCOTH and WICF? I am especially interested in its success in Germany and Spain. Cheers, Rich

@Rich-UK: here you can find th positions of ATAY in Germany (peaked at #37):

Gellner said on November 8, 2002 15:24:

Latest german midweeks: TBH #10 (10). ATAY drops to #87 (69).
@animalkingdom: Björk Greatest Hits is at #74 (70) today. U2 is at 94 (96) today...

PerFanatic said on November 8, 2002 18:09:

While I don’t have the WICF database here at work, I can compare ATAY to TCOTH. However, these numbers are a combination of all charts (sales, radio, internet) from all contries.

TCOTH best weeks were:
week 7 - 104 charts - 17.25 avg position
week 8 - 102 charts - 14.41 avg
week 9 - 102 charts - 13.66 avg
week 10 - 100 charts - 12.61 avg

For ATAY so far:
Week 5 - 97 charts - 15.54 avg
week 6 - 101 charts - 15.46 avg

note the following: week 6 for ATAY not complete yet. Will probably eclipse 110 total charts when complete. Also, there are more web charts available now compared to back when TCOTH was being played. Therefore, it is not statistically sound to compare the 2 one-to-one. Once ATAY has had its run, I plan on doing a same chart comparison, which should be a bit more accurate.

bunny said on November 8, 2002 20:00:

how does TBH’s initial performance on the german album chart compare with RS or HAND?

room-service said on November 9, 2002 14:43:

Where can I find the official danish single charts on the net? Does somebody know this? Last week ATAY was on #38 in this charts.
Thanks :)

Th_Th said on November 11, 2002 09:45:

Gellner:
Any chart results fot the TBH hits for the sales charts yet? (Germany, Sweden etc?)
You are doing great work on it, thanks for that!

Ingo said on November 11, 2002 10:56:

What was the trend on saturday for TBH? You said the saturday is such an important date because more people buy on this day! Thanks

Gellner said on November 11, 2002 17:03:

First of all GREAT NEWS FROM DENMARK: TBH enters the album charts at #3 in wk 46!
News from Germany: Midweeks from the weekend: TBH: Friday #9, Saturday #10. ATAY Friday #76, Saturday #77.
@bunny: It’s hard to compare TBH to the previous albums at this stage. If you see the chartpositions (entries) HAND did better, but the market has changed a lot and the competition in the market at the moment is stronger than in other times of the year. If TBH would have been released in the summer or early this year it would definately have been No. 1 with this sales, but right now it’s “only Top 10. In general the market is really week and as we all know there’s more burned CDs than sold CDs which also affects Roxette and makes it harder to sell the same amount of records as they did before. - So if you ask me it’s quite o.k. what’s happening at the moment but we can only really see when sales of TBH are published.
@room-service: ATAY dropped out of the Top 50 official Danish single charts in wk 45. - But as you can see they do now buy albums :o)
@TH_TH - thanks for the compliment ;o)
Well, see the Danish album charts above... Germany will be announced tomorrow at 5.00pm. Sweden is announced on Thursdays I think.
@ Ingo - well see above as well - I think that’s quite good news - the album stayed Top 10 and it’s probably not “us Fans” anymore who buys the record.
Kind regards, Gellner

animalkingdom said on November 11, 2002 18:02:

News from Finland:

TBH missed the Top 40 on the first week of release.

On comparison, “Don’t Bore Us” debuted at 7, peaked at no. 2 and sold platinum, “Have A Nice Day” went to no. 10 and peaked at no. 8, and “Room Service” debuted at no. 17, peaked at no. 10 and went gold.

There have been some TV spots for the new compilation so I believe it’ll chart on week 47.

Gellner said on November 12, 2002 09:26:

News from Austria: Charts wk 45: ATAY #50 (42). TBH#26 (NEW).

room-service said on November 12, 2002 10:34:

@Gellner: Thanks for the info :)

But the entry in austria isn’t very good :( Hopefully TBH will enter the Top10 in germany, the midweekcharts are pointing at this.

BTW what is the newest airplayposition of ATAY in germany? Thanks a lot :)

Th_Th said on November 12, 2002 16:10:

I think TBH will get into the Top 3 in Germany. I mean, nobody thought Room Service would be able to get into the Top 3, but slowly and surely they got into the top three and stayed in the top 10 for a couple of months... so I think, this is going to happen with THB as well. If Roxette would have the same success all over the world as they do in Germany, they would sell way more then just 10 Million CD’s for each Album...

Gellner said on November 12, 2002 16:14:

Chart news: TBH entered the german album charts today at #10 (NEW). ATAY drops to #74 (69). Midweeks today were TBH 16 (10) - dropping exactly the places that are caused by the new entries. ATAY drops to #91 (77).
Airplay: ATAY #15 (17) with 425 plays.

Austria: TBH enters at #17 (NEW). ATAY drops to #40 (35).

room-service said on November 12, 2002 16:24:

@Gellner: Thanks a lot for the quick Info :))
Top 10 is really cool :) and Top 15 in the Airplaycharts is also really good.

BTW I think you meant “Swiss” instead if “Austria” in your last post ;)

room-service said on November 12, 2002 16:57:

@Th_Th: As Gellner already said at this time of the year the market is much stronger than for example in april as RoomService was released. At the moment there are many new releases from “TopActs” every week.

BTW RoomService stayed only ONE month (4 weeks) in the german Top 10 ;)

Gellner said on November 12, 2002 17:14:

@room-service: Right I meant Swiss charts ;o)

room-service said on November 12, 2002 17:19:

@Gellner: Could you perhaps tell us the complete German Top 10? I’d like to know which new entries are above TBH - Westerhagen, Die Ärtzte, U2, someone else? - Thanks ;)

Th_Th said on November 13, 2002 08:33:

Room.... :
Roxette didn’t just stay 4 weeks in the German Top 100! As far as I know, they stayed in the Top 100 for more than half a year with Room Service! :-)

Ingo said on November 13, 2002 10:18:

I think he mean 4 weeks in the Top 10, because it was 35 weeks in the german Top 100.

room-service said on November 13, 2002 11:19:

@Th_Th: Of course I meant Top 10 (one “0” too much ;)).
But I think this was really easy to understand (like Ingo showed it to you), because I reacted on your statement that RoomService “stayed in the top 10 for a couple of months” & corrected you by saying that it only was ONE month the Top 10 ;)
BTW A few post higher I posted a link to a table on my site where you can see, that RS stayed 4 weeks in the Top 10 and 35 weeks in the Top 100 ;)

Gellner said on November 14, 2002 15:24:

As already seen in the new chart overview section TBH entered at a disapointing #5 in Sweden with the single dropping to #25 (24). Todays german midweeks are: TBH #15 (17). ATAY #91 (81).

animalkingdom said on November 14, 2002 15:35:

#5 isn’t disappointing.

DBU debuted at no. 23 in Sweden. And there’s no hope it could ever top the charts in Sweden - the Swedes already have all the albums ;-)

Gellner said on November 15, 2002 15:12:

Czech charts wk46: TBH 23 (NE). ATAY airplay #7 (7).
German midweek today: TBH# 14 (15). ATAY #83 (91).

christian said on November 16, 2002 07:43:

The Ballad Hits is new at 10 in Germany!!
I think itis great for a “Greatest Hits” album. 14 or 15 I don‘t understand it Gellner. 10 is the official position.
Only U2; Westernhagen and another artist are better.

Gellner said on November 19, 2002 10:56:

New charts:
Austria wk 46: TBH #19 (26). ATAY #53 (50)
Denmark wk47: TBH #3 (3). ATAY #- (-)
Germany Airplay wk 46: #13 (15) with 415 plays.
@Daniel: the charts I reported were midweeks (daily trendcharts which sum up to the actual Top 100).

Gellner said on November 19, 2002 14:51:

Latest news from Switzerland and Germany:

Germany (today’s midweek):
13 ( 14) 4,94% THE BALLAD HITS ROXETTE

Switzerland (official charts wk 47):

room-service said on November 19, 2002 16:19:

Thanks once again for all the infos :)
Only 5% at #13 - Wow, there a lot of people must be buying the #1 album, who is at #1 Toten Hosen or westernhagen.

Good to know that it goes up in austria & swiss :). I think this week TBH will be at 13 or 14 in Germany.

And speaking of Portugal, not so cheery news this time: after 2 weeks in a row at #9, TBH just drops off the top 10 (even the top 20 :/ ) this ending week, down to #22... :( Positive point of the week though, the album just went silver here!

Portugal: 3 steps down to #21 this week. (Add note: EMI here has at last released the comercial spot for TBH. It has just hit the TV screens. About time. So let’s see how things go next week...)

sweepi said on December 29, 2002 15:56:

Portugal:

Up and down, so is life. TBH: down to #23 this week, up to gold. (Though I keep on my doubts whether this information is correct... As on my counts, TBH must have reached gold quite some weeks ago. If not before, at least in its 2nd week on the top it must... I mean, if Phil Collin’s album entered the top in that very same week, at #13, and it went gold right on, then, being TBH at #9 in that week, obviously implying that it sold more than Phil Collin’s album, it logically has to mean that as well TBH had gold status by then... right? Or am I that bad in maths?!...)

Jakubek said on December 29, 2002 20:47:

In Poland, Roxette didn’t reach even TOP20. They were on 40 position in Novemebr and sold something about 7000 copies and they have no chance to reach gold, because they would have to sell more then 35.000 copies. “HAND” and “Room service” didn’t reach gold too, but they sold about 15 000 copies each other.

Did anybody heard the best news of the week? Dbu-gttc is on position 32 in the official german charts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last week position 30!!!!!!!!!!!!! TBH is on position 35 this week. Great news or not?

Starrox said on January 7, 2003 21:48:

I have no idea which charts you looked at, but they were definitely not the official German album charts! DBU is nowhere to be seen on there - not too surprising for an album that was released over 7 years ago and was deleted last year...

RFMFG said on January 7, 2003 21:59:

Do you come from Germany? If yes then you have to look on the Teletext on the Channel Viva on Side 176. And you will see that i´m Right.

cskendras said on January 7, 2003 22:32:

yes, he’s right!

i was really happy to see that roxette are with two albums in the german top 100:

32. (30.) Roxette - Greatest Hits
35. (43.) Roxette - The Ballad Hits

:-)

RFMFG said on January 7, 2003 22:52:

Thanks cskendras

Starrox said on January 7, 2003 23:04:

Yes, I’m German... unfortunately, I can’t check what Viva wrote right now since there’s something wrong with that stupid satellite dish and I don’t get Viva, but they are definitely wrong when it comes to DBU-GTTC!

I only thought of this right now: the best explanation for this probably would be a mixup (someone wrote Roxette instead of Lighthouse Family), wouldn’t it? That would also explain why the album’s called “Greatest Hits” instead of the usual “Don’t bore us - ...”!

it sure is great news, that the Ballad Hits are climbing again.

Th_Th said on February 27, 2003 08:46:

Does Portugal have high sale figures in general? I mean, how much do CD’s in the top ten sell aprox?

Is TBH still in the German charts???

sweepi said on March 1, 2003 01:31:

@ Th_Th:

Well, myself, I don’t have the answer to your particular questions, sorry. I mean, I don’t know sales figures, and don’t have an exact idea of the actual weight of the Portuguese music market, and its expression in the overall global music market worldwide... Then again, suppose it mustn’t have that much relevance in the end, I guess... Well, but perhaps numbers may give you some better view? Take those for Silver, Gold and Platinum status, here: 10.000, 20.000 and 40.000 units sold, respectively. Does this hopefully say anything to you? (Well, to me, not that much really. :P I mean, only that, our market must be rather insignificant (?) in the end, I mean, if to reach Platinum here corresponds to a lower number of sales than that standing for Silver in the UK... Aowch! :P Then again, on the other hand though, of course one also has to consider such a detail as the UK having ca. 6 x the population of Portugal...) Anyway, regarding specifically TBH, well, what I can tell you this far is that, supposedly (according to TV information, though I don’t know/can’t say how accurate/reliable this really is in the end, in what refers to the dates, since they don’t always mention these details), it reached Silver (10.000) in its 3rd week on the charts, and, 3 weeks after that, it reached Gold (20.000). (Though, and as first pointed out in my previous post of 29/12/02, I still maintain my doubts whether this is actually correct...) Which, and as since then 9 more weeks have passed, having TBH charted as follows: 18, 12, 9, 6, 6, 9, 12, 12, 8 (while the previous positions had been: 9, 9, 22, 18, 21, 23); has me guessing that the album must be getting pretty close to the Platinum mark by now... Hopefully. :) So I don’t know... Whether any of this was any helpful to you? Only hope so... :)

Portugal: yet another spot up, TBH on #21 this ending week.

sweepi said on March 30, 2003 11:42:

Portugal: the very week TPH is released, TBH gets (for the first time since it had entered the top 30 sales chart, back in November, and where it stayed for 18 consecutive weeks) off the top 30 sales chart. Surprise surprise. (Or perhaps not that much? Why oh why did I have this coming?) Mere coincidence? Well... guess I’m too much of a non-believer in charts by these days to believe in “coincidences”... Do wonder if it will come back to the top (any!) next week... (As I do if TPH will too make it... at all) Hmm...
