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.

Yes has dropped from 3 to 4 in German album charts!

Yes ;- 4-21. Sales - 38,800

Love etc ;- 14-27-49. Sales - 27,250

Yes sold 8,658 in it's 2nd week.

Love etc sold around 5,300 in it's third week.

8,658.

PopArt still hanging around at 102 and Discography at 165.

2009 Chart runs

PopArt ;- 19-18-38-56-79-93-102. Estimated sales in 2009 - 45,000 (u.k)

They also released Rent as well!

Love etc is number 78 this week in the UK

amazingly the lovng kind is still on the chart at #97, with sales of over 120k now.

Yes ;- 4-21-43. Sales - 44,000

Love etc ;- 14-27-49-78. Sales - 30,000

Yes sold an estimated 5,500 in it's third week.

Love etc sold an estimated 2,750 in it's 4th week.

Let's face it, this is going to be the pop art tour, not the yes tour.

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.
