*In the first week it was #2 of the “Heatseekers 20” in Wallonia, which features the sales under the top 100.
**Russian charts are published only every second week. Original source is this.
But it has been released the same date as Europe? Whole South America?
It was released on February 15 (the deluxe edition, a few days later). It has a sticker that reads “Product for sale exclusively in South America except Brazil”, so I guess the Argentinian CD will be available in other countries too, like Uruguay.
Charm School has dropped to number 72 on the Australian Aria Albums Chart this week. It sits at number 48 on the Digital Album Chart though.

Sweden #4.
Austria #3

italy # 80 this week 🙁
#3 in Austria in the second week
Thanks to all, updated the table!
#22 in Finlad, I hope it gets into the Top 20 next week. btw The positions of CS in Switzerland, Germany and Austria clearly show that promotion in other countries would be more than great 🙁
Yes, the song has started to have more radio play here in Finland. It makes me always so happy to hear it in some ordinary place like in a bus or lunch bar. Some days I hear it several times even I don’t particulary listen to radio.
Album jumped up from 5 to 4 in Czech Republic this week.
I think the details are incorrect (mediatraffic) because it puts that “Charm School” has sold 30,000 copies and does not seem very real disk having come back to number 1 in many countries.In Spain, number 1 is to sell 30,000 copies.In Germany there are many more people and Roxette is No. 1 in sales,so Roxette have sold quite well.
30,000 copies in total?
Spain Loves Roxette

In Hungary the album jump tp #16! 🙂 🙂 🙂
