Indeed, chart aggregator Kworb has the album at number 13 worldwide.
how on earth do the charts work for physical releases? especially when bought from sellers on amazon and ebay etc?
hope to hear them in the album chart rundown on radio 1, think i’ll shed a tear.
sunny side up is so catchy its unreal. i’m still undecided on whether i like it a lot, or not so much, but it’s been stuck in my head for days…
31 on us iTunes right now
Now in top 10 in 20 countries’ iTunes album charts
It peaked at 12 which is awesome! Dunno what those numbers are, points instead of downloads I guess. Well I’m thinking over 150k expected first week IMO. Maybe even more.
I would love to see the ITunes chart in Namibia.
