I have collected Joshua Tree chart info for the USA and other countries. Info for outside the USA comes from top 10, top 20, or top 40 charts. The USA chart is of course the Billboard 200 and I will list the 103 weeks Joshua Tree spent on those charts and the 40 weeks Joshua Tree spent in the European top 20. All this info of course comes from the years, 1987, 1988, and 1989.

A total of 103 weeks on the Billboard 200 in the USA for Joshua Tree. The album dropped of the USA chart in April 1989. Joshua Tree would return to the charts again in 1991 though, this time on the new Catalog album chart!
The European Chart represents sales all across Europe. Europe as a whole, is roughly the same size market as the USA. I was able to obtain chart info for only the top 20 on the European chart. Here it is. The Joshua Tree's performance is very impressive!

Again, I could only obtain the top 20 for the European chart. I also have JT chart info for the United Kingdom, West Germany, Canada, Australia and a few other countries. I will post those later. I hope this satisfy's anyones curiousity.
