No idea how many copies you need to sell of a dvd for a gold award but PopArt the Video's was given the gold award in 2005.

Cheers for the info. Pretty good going to sell 25,000 copies of a dvd and that was 4 years ago.

After 6 weeks, Fundamental had fallen out of the Top 200 album chart (it did reappear following Numbs use as England's World Cup KO song)
Let's hope The Later...Jools Holland appearance/ Did you see me coming?? release helps keep it at least in the Top 200.

I'd imagine the 1,000 LP sales this week - didn't What Records say EMI had sold it out on pre-order? - will help once we're talking about these kinds of chart positions.

I don't know anything about the LP, but last week 1658 sales for the reissue of Morrissey's Maladjusted album gave it a chart position of 103.
Overall album sales are expected to be a fair bit lower this week.

We can probably expect Yes to re-enter the top 100 in just over a week, in that case.

#102 this week in the USA at about 4,900 units.

Ramzy, was Yes definitely issued on vinyl this week (May 4th)?
I heard it's release wasn't confirmed and i've also seen some online stores have the release date as May 11th. Did anyone here order it and receive it this week?

It's coming out on Monday, the 11th. Sorry if I wasn't clear - I meant that they'd count towards the chart that was announced on Sunday week, i.e. the 17th.

What Records have said that EMI are receiving the LPs (from, I suppose, the manufacturers) today, so they will indeed be going out over the week. The extra 300 copies from the box set would have helped - 1,300 on vinyl in one week alone - but those are kind of on indefinite hiatus, it seems.

So the total figure sums up to 20000 units? Not bad initially, not bad at all...

nearly 22 I think. Maybe another 2 - 3 k this week.
