Ahhh, why couldn’t they delay ON and TPH a little bit????

I’m certain this is gonna break the UK TOP 10.
We still have Friday and Saturday’s sales to boost it a little further yet!
Come on Rox!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank BBC Radio 2...they always seem to support Marie and Per.
Yeah!

I visited the link TDR posted earlier and TBH is still on no. 23!? Rox.nl didn’t put the link to the reference website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Zee:
The charts are not officially released in the UK until 7pm Sunday evening.
Anything learnt before then is predictive and based on current sales trends, which is still very much able to change.

yeah - stocks can go down as well as up ; )
... hopefully up!

Can someone tell us an estimated number of TBH-copies sold in the uk so far?

I wish I knew too! It must be several tens of thousands??? hopefully! Or am I dreaming?

If the sales of MVC, woolies etc counted, who knows! :D Where is this #13 coming from? I don’t want to go bragging to my parents, if it’s hear’say. :(

well like i said, Virgin megastores Leeds has sold out of TBH hits so , with even more stock it could of sold more. they said they didnt know it was gonna be this sucessful. ??

the problem is.....it could’ve sold more....but the part time rox fans who went into buy and couldn’t get it wouldn’t bother asking them to order more....they’d just go buy sommit else....... I wonder how many sales that sort of thing cost.....and I wonder if Virgin megastore in Oxford did actualy order more than 11 copies (like they said they were ordered)

Wow! This is greaaaaat news!!!! I’m so happy for the UK fans.
But... don’t you think that #13 is the highest position a Roxette album can reach in the UK? I don’t think it will go any higher...

Well if you tune in to the charts tomorrow at 4p.m. They run down the top 20 albums before the singles chart now, so we will know by about 4:15p.m. if its recahed #13, last week they played a song from #10, so fingers crossed they play a Roxette song, plus this would be great promo if it gets in the top 20, but hey radio 1 dont have the audience they use to have so is it such a big deal to be played on there???

if this 100% confirmed ??? is it on billboard? if so this would be an amazing push to release in the usa hopefully

YAY!!!! :D
btw: yesterday i bought the last copy of atay in woking... and the yummy sales guy in virgin was about as happy as i was, cuz i checked with him it was the last...

The confusion about the release date my be the reason for the second week raise in album sales.
I will definately be glued to the uk top 40. Also the album chart on R2 on monday night.
