Chart Position?

Post by Tenniru »

I just ordered On An Island (new, of course). I'm wondering now; has anyone seen how this thing is charting? I'd like to know. Amazon is listing it as #2 in music sales; and I recall that when Paul McCartney's "Chaos And Creation In The Backyard" was #1, it found it's way to #10 on the US charts. (Amazon does count for a LOT of sales, too.)

So, any news on what this album is doing? It deserves something past the number-twenty-somethings his previous two albums groaned up to.

when I picked up the CD at Sam The Record Man 5 minutes after the store opened I was not alone
there was a continuous flow of people walking in the door, picking up the CD, and walking stright to the cash
just like a subway at rush hour except instead of a horrible subway it was the new Floyd album
