I just looked at the new Swedish single charts and to my surprise found out that ESVESIES/TT is back on #23 after leaving the charts in mid october! Does anyone happen to know how that could have happened? Was it on sale somewhere, did they give it away as a gift or something? ;-)

Does it matter?, it was #1 for 2 weeks without promo.
Maybe its coz i didnt buy as many copies to sell on ebay this last week ;)
BTW....whats is #1 on the Swedish album charts?

@ Vix - Ulf Lundell with “OK Baby OK” is #1, then Eminem then Peter Jöback, all new entries...
He he, of course the drop doesn’t matter! - Marie has done incredibly well - I just thought that 1->12 would be quite strange in the UK and wondered whether it was unusual in Sweden too - I’m sure the documentary will boost sales... ta ta, Rich ;-)

LOL Vix :D
If it’s normal or not: no clue, maybe when I have time I will look at the charts to see the trend ;)
Aaaah well, she was a) nr 1 b) for 2 weeks ;) when nobody gave a shit for the album in the charts. So there :D
Miracles might happen, but I think we would be asking for THE miracle if we’d expect Marie to be on the top forever, seeing radio stations don’t play her album/single and there is 0.5 (the .5 goes for the newspaper ads ;)) promo in Sweden :D
After the mystery that Kiwein and I are trying to descifer (??) .. bout the gold or not gold.. I do wonder how sales are counted or how charts work in general.
How can it be possible that after (3 months ago!) a tour, selling a lot of F5f etc.. how can there be anybody left without ESVESIES/TT????? or how can it be that all of a sudden ppl buy so many copies as to get back to the middle of the charts? Maybe somewhen we will understand..
btw, Grammotex is owned by GLF, whose members are: Bonnier Amigo Music Group, BMG Sweden AB, EMI Svenska AB, MNW Music Network AB, Sony Music Entertainment Sweden AB, Stockholm Records AB, S56, Universal Music AB, Virgin Records Sweden AB, Warner Music Sweden AB
I wonder if these companies sit around a table every week and decide “ok, this week it is your turn for nr 1, choose an artist” etc etc ;) Would be interesting to see what participation each member has in GLF ;)))

You have to realize that being outside the top 20 of the singlecharts mean you have sold SOME copies the last week.
I wouldn’t be surprised if #60 BLACKNUSS FEAT. AWA MANNEH & ADL
ALL YOUR LOVIN’ sold a lot less than 100 copies last week..
There’s just 3 singles on the top 20 which has sold gold.
Magnus Uggla, Haiducci & Ana.
Singles don’t sell much nowadays...

What´s all this talk about “no promotion” ?? Have you ever been in Sweden? Almost no cd´s are promoted here, just some Greatest Hits cd´s.
So the thing that The Change isn´t unusual at all.

... that’s cool!
... and there’s a big fall for MF in the album charts - is it normal in Sweden for albums to fall so fast?
All the best, Rich
