It's Number 4 for the Special Edition ...
... Number 9 for the Standard Edition.

This ranking is from the Hot 100 Music Albums. Fundamental can't be normally in this ranking because the album is not yet released!! Don't understand it!

I pay more attention at the Hot 25 Pre-Release Albums and there's Fundamental Standard Edition at number 9 and Special Edition at 4, just as dibdav wrote...

It's not true. It's number 16 and it was even higher. The album of Zero7 hasn't been released yet and it's part of this ranking too (and the position is even higher).

They have a strange way of ranking at Amazon I think! How can an album in the "Hot 100 Music Album"- list, even when it's not relaesed?? Why do they make 2 lists (Hot 100 Music Album and a Hot 25 Pre Release Albums) when they afterwards put an album wich isn't yet released at the Hot 100 Music Album?????

Things are getting worse. Fundamental is losing a lot of positions in the chart of Amazon. The problem is the new number one is Zero 7, so Fundamental will probably not the highest new entry.

Are you viewing another list? Fundamental is currently at number 9 in Amazon com and it jumped from 15...what you are looking at must be the Special Edition, which it seems is depleted that's the reason why it is going downwards....

The Amazon rankings track sales velocity (units ordered as of a specific interval). This is why the numbers change so frequently. It's basically useless.
