What an odd Top Ten list...is this for everyone in the whole country?

[so lacklustre]

Sounds better than our british top ten, what with EC & Robert Wyatt in the top ten!!

Hey, if he can beat the Chicks on Speed, then that says something about North's popularity down where it's low.

I hear they be some fast moving chicks!

Don't know what type of chart that is.
In the Holland "pop" charts North is at no 57 (see http://www.planet.nl/planet/show/id=82349/sc=d09793).
Has been on the Dutch chart for 3 weeks.
Holland and Belgium seem to have the highest chart position for North at the moment.
That will all change when Still becomes the UK Christmas no 1 (oh, Sweet Dreams).

This chart shows the best selling albums for one week in the two main record shops of Amsterdam: Concerto and Get Records.

North is also doing quite well in Belgium, as mentioned. You can give it a vote at http://www.humo.be (go to 'Rock etc' - then to 'humo top 20'). You'll see a list of albums and singles. You have to give 3, 2 and 1 point for the both categories.

Come on guys, get Elvis on nr. 1 !!!

It's gone all back to 1977! Help Us Hype Elvis!
