Hello,

From this week on the Dutch charts will be one week 'behind' compared to those in other countries. Not that they report that late (I wasn't paying attention), but in the Christmas week there was no chart week, so this week's chart follows on the one before Christmas. So this is then week 7 for The Best Of 1990-2000 on the charts.
In its sixth week the album drops again a little bit, but it's only 1 position. The album is #7 now. There is a small asterisk to U2's position as the 2 versions are counted together.
Here is the chart run for The Best Of 1990-2000 (16-11-02):
1-1-3-4-4-6-7

There are no other U2 albums on the chart and there will not be any other U2 albums on it for a while. Because starting this week all albums older than 2 years will move to the Back Catalog Top 50. There is one U2 album on this chart, The Best Of 1980-1990 at #30. As it is a new chart it is of course a new entry and the # of weeks is 1 (AFAIK, they don't continue with the # of weeks an album had on the regular chart).
The chart run for The Best Of 1980-1990 on the Back Catalog Top 50 is then (4-1-03):
30

Electrical Storm has fallen off the single charts. This was expected as it charted #59 in the last week of last year. This year, the format of this chart has also changed as it is now a Top 50. Since the single did not rise, it dropped of. A pity.
Here was the chart run for the single (2-11-02):
4-4-10-16-26-35-47-59-out

There are no other U2 singles on the chart.
Robbie Williams has the #1 album with Escapology and Eminem's Lose Yourself is the #1 single.

C ya!

Marty
