West End girls chartpositions in Belgium for both versions.

West End girls (First version)
According to the archive site of national radio it enters the chart at 28 July 1984 at nr 24 and then 27 - 23 - 18 - 17 - 25 - out

West End girls (Second version)
According to the archive site of national radio it enters the chart at 01 Feb 1986 at nr 7 and then 3 - 5 - 4 - 9 -14 - 16 - out

I always remembered the second version hit nr 1 in Belgium for one week but figures seem to prove me wrong. Weird...

Hi, 'PSBehaviour':
I collect Pet Shop Boys album chart positions around the world, but I haven't found anything related to Belgium.

Have you got the PSB's album chart history in Belgium?
Thanks in advance.

I don't have any chart history, but I'll see if I can dig something up.

First week positions of PSB albums up until 1991

Album charts for Pet Shop Boys' first week sales.

Please got a bit of a tough hand to compete against. Not only one of the best selling albums of all time but also compilations counted towards the chart.
