The album “Charm School” debuted at # 2 in Spain, now at # 11 Deluxe
Fantastic!
Official charts already? Or just iTunes?
21 in the Netherlands. Far better than Room Service!
abysmo: Musicload Charts are not the official album charts in Germany! The German charts aren’t out yet, we will have to wait until monday or tuesday and CS will most probably start on No. 1.
http://www.viva.tv/charts/
-> Viva Top 100
-> Viva Album Top 50
So Musicload isn’t official also for Austria and Switzerland?
Charm School seems not to have charted in Switzerland at all this week.
SGNO(BTR) is on no 67(!) in the single charts.
It doesn’t surprise me since there is ZERO promotion here…
0% – not one percent more… Really frustrating.
Musicload features official (only Top 20) and also non-official internal charts, you have to be careful by reading.
Charm School won’t enter the charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland before next Friday. That’s when the charts of this week get published. There’s always a gap between compiling and publishing. But we should know for sure on Tuesday. 😉
Ok, thanks for explaining the problem. 😀
Germany (official Media Control) not entered in Week 7
http://www.mtv.de/charts/album50
In Spain the first week “Charm School” in #2!!!!!! (oficial)
Now “Deluxe” i-tunes #11
It´s fantastic
you are refering to itunes, it’s not possible for Roxette to be on any official spanish charts yet, the album was released on 14th!
Album went gold (20,000) according to musikindustri.se
taxford: CS can’t chart in Germany before next week. And it looks like they will go to #1 spot directly.
yay!!! 🙂

Charm School is number 49 on the Official ARIA Australian Album Charts this week and number 32 on the Digital Album Charts. First time since 1996 that a Roxette album has made the official Top 50.
They debut at #49 on the Australian ARIA charts which is the official charts! Good news considering the last two studio albums never cracked the top 50!! They are at #32 on the official digital album chart too : )

Great! 😀 Btw, you can change the table order to A – Z by clicking the top row.
There is an error in the table. The positions for Belgium (Flanders) and Finland have been swapped. Belgium should be #27 and Finland €34.
Fixed. 🙂
Israel #13

Is that really the official national charts?
right now I found this: Number one at the official german charts and the single is up to 12 in Germany!!!!!!!!!

Emi speaks about the media control charts. These are indeed the official german charts. They will be released on friday.
Oh, my question was about Israel, not Germany. 😉
It isn’t an official chart, it’s a chart published by this specific retailer. There are no official charts in Israel.
Germany No.1 should be week #8, or?
Technically yes, but I decided to simply keep the international charts in line for the sake of comparison. Because I don’t know the official chart release dates for every country… 😉
Charm School No. 1 also in Czech Republic.

Btw Room Service peaked only #4 back in 2001.
