Week 50 and 51 Chart News...
Week 51 chart news for Ireland, Australia and the U.K. is now available and has been included in this update. Week 50 chart news for the U.S., The Netherlands, and Canada is presented. The Global Charts have only been updated through Week 45.
I am having difficulty in posting this entire message (Elvis is looking into this problem) so I will break up this post into seven parts (one part for each country discussed).
In Australia, ATYCLB returned to the Top 50 in its 50th week after release at a rather impressive #33. This week, it holds onto that impressive position, dropping slightly to #35. Here is its run so far (each line is 10 weeks):
1-1-2-3-3-3-3(TP)-3-3-6
9-12-15-13-14-14-9-8-7-8(4P)
6-6-6-5-9-12-16-18-24-25
29-27-29-30-27-28-27-33-29-38
36-39-43-47-46-48-out-out-out-33
35
("Out" represents a week the album was out of the Australian Top 50 albums chart.)
The album is 4x Platinum (280,000 copies sold). Hopefully, a new single ("Walk On") will be released soon to further revitalize the album.
This gives ATYCLB a total of 48 weeks in the Australian Top 50.
For comparison, R.E.M.'s album, "Reveal," spent 11 weeks in the Australian Top 50 debuting at #6 and peaking at #5 in its 4th week on the charts. It is certified as Gold (35,000 copies sold). Radioheads "Amnesiac" spent eight weeks in the Top 50. The "Tomb Raider" soundtrack spent 7 weeks in the Top 50, peaking at #10.
"Fever" by Kylie Minogue is the #1 album in Australia. I have not observed N'Sync's "Celebrity" anywhere in the Australian Top 50.
"Elevation" peaked (debuted) at #6 and spent 6 weeks in the Australian Top 50 singles chart. "Beautiful Day" debuted at #1 and "Stuck in a Moment..." debuted at #3. U2 have now enjoyed three Top 10 hits in Australia from ATYCLB.
"Because I Got High" by Afroman is the #1 song in Australia. Although no U2 song appears on the singles chart, "Walk On" may be receiving some radio air play, which may have caused the album to return to the Top 50.
In an interesting side note, Michael Jackson's, "You Rock My World," debuted at #4 on the Australian charts last week. It drops to #20 this week. Although the song has reached the Top 10 on all the charts I monitor, this isn't quite the auspicious performance one would expect from Jackson's "highly anticipated" album.
