The Cosmos Rocks Chart Position

with no promotion - what do you expect??

everyone who bought the album the first week were those who knew about it beforehand.

Sales will spike when the UK tour kicks off. The Cosmos Rocks' journey is far from over.

Much better than the "something around #30" you predicted, though ;)

I can live with my error. :P

So what was your guess?

Just out of curiosity, with regards to Amazon UK sales, are purchases of albums & singles by international (non-UK) customers eligible towards otherwise domestic (UK) chart performances?

If so, I'm glad I helped contribute to the album's first week chart entry at no. 5 :-P

In sweden The Cosmos Rocks entered the charts at no 24.

Today, in Portugal´s public television RTP1,  a small report on the new Queen album appeared, with footage from C-Lebrity and small interviews with the band. This was broadcasted around 10 a.m. local time and is the first news I hear about the album in the portuguese media. The report wasn´t really interesting, just noticed that it is the first, I think.

I think both the single and the album have failed to chart in Portugal. Not making concerts in portugal will probably make it never enter the charts.

The album charted at #23 in Portugal.

Thanks for the info, the charts I saw didnt have the album in it. Probably they were outdated or something ;)


Still, a poor place in the chart for a band that had so many #1 albums and singles in this country.

BUT, I guessed that TCR would be somewhere around #35 this week in Finnish charts. Pity I didn't write about my prediction few days earlier, cos that was spot on.

Do you really think so? Considering this how long the predecessor version of this band has been a defunct entity and how much the music business has changed in the last 15 years or so, I think they're doing remarkably well, especially in light of not having their beloved frontman, which seems to be all some people have to talk about. How many acts from the 70s and 80s, or even early 90s, are still having the success that QPR are having? Especially acts where all the principles are 60+ years old?

We still have to wait for the British tour and for the album to be released in the US. These events will definitely boost the sales and the chart positions in some other countries as well.
