this is a good idea for a chart imo :D

Steve Wright was on BBC1 last week promoting 'Make Ups and Break Ups' so assume it would be that one?

from MW sales section: " While the rest of this week’s album entries have taken just six days to cement their chart debut, it has taken Journey's Greatest Hits 22 years. The 1988 compilation has sold more than 100,000 copies since it was first released without ever bothering the chart compilers but the success of Don't Stop Believin' which has been in the Top 10 for eight weeks and a new TV campaign prove the charm, as the album debuts at number 12 (13,578 sales)"

Ooops....novelty worn off that already :unsure:

Top 20 probably it's certainly not their best is it? sounds bit of a mess to me... sampling still? full circle then almost.... 'Freak Like Me' was one of their best way back when....

clean sweep for the beeb then christmas tv 10/11... Abba's 1992 re-issued 'Dancing Queen' peaked at #16 on the official chart, was it higher on the MRIB?

well said.

plus a re-issue of 'Holiday' which reached #2, behind her own 'Into The Groove' - 85 weeks on chart that year (i think) :rolleyes:

who knows....fact is not enough people liked 'The Climb' to buy it. One of the worst choices so far for the X factor brand etc.
