We will collect the different official chart entries and positions of Roxette’s new album “Charm School” in this post. How is the album doing in your country? Let us know! Please provide sources to your numbers.
Update February 21: Roxette entered straight to #1 in Germany! Announcement by Media Control | EMI (who also provided us with a new promo picture).
Update April 1: “Charm School” enters South Africa! And Per says that it has been certified gold in Switzerland! Germany and Austria should follow that style, while the album is heading to platinum in Sweden, according to the latest Live Nation press release. And CS is not the only charting album: The current Roxette action brought the “Hits!” compilation up to #65 in the German charts…
Update April 14: The album has reached the Brasilian charts! According to different retailer charts it’s also selling well in Argentina, but the official chart site doesn’t get updated. There’s also lack of official sources for Russia and Asian countries. We’re grateful for your help!
Update April 20: “Charm School” got Gold in Germany for more than 100,000 sales! Russia now included in the table.

PS: Dear Admins, could you put this list up again – updated and maybe without the comments already included? Just an idea. Keep up the good work!
Yes, was short of time the last days. But why without the comments?
Updated! So does anyone have a confirmed source for Russia?
Hey, Sascha! That was quick, thanks a lot! As for the comments, I just thought we didn’t really need them – because they mostly consist of chart positions already included in the list – and it would make things a bit clearer. Or let’s put it that way: I’m simply too lazy to scroll down a list of 146 comments 🙂 That’s all. Cheers!
Fixed the scrolling. 😉
Slovakia from 8 to 16.
Do you have a source? What happened the weeks before?
Speak to me no 8 this week SA top 20 (South African official top 20 according to CD sales) 🙂
I love it!!
Speak to Me? Already a single in SA or just from the album?
It’s the album Charm School, but Speak to me is played in slot # 8. Great to hear that song over the airwaves 🙂
