#25

Not too bad for a band that gets no promotion or airplay.

A bit disappointing given the #5 on HMV. I had hoped for at least a top 20.
Good news though is that I'm with stupid has moved UP the singles chart from #39 to #34.

My theory is that some PSB fans in OZ (including myself) may have bought overseas editions of the album. I was also hoping for a Top 20. Does anyone know if Fundamental achieved higher chart position than Bilingual/Nightlife/Release???

In regards to I'm with stupid, wow .. it actually went UP... history here suggested that it would have been out of the Top 50 by now so I am REALLY surprised!!!!

Blingual entered the chart at #3. Nightlife was the same as Fundamental, i.e. #25, and Release was only #62. PopArt did not even put a dent in the top 100. Given the performance of the last two releases I guess #25 is not so bad, but I think could have been better. I think this fued between HMV/Sanity and ARIA has hurt their chart positions this time round, given the much higher placings by HMV/Sanity on their weekly chart.

So long as people are buying it I don't mind which chart the sale gets attributed to.... HMV or ARIA, Australian or UK.

Hopefully the DVD single of I'm with stupid I bought yesterday at JB Hi-Fi is chart-eligable

Yes, I have done this in the past for all of their albums since Very. This time, however, I purposely went out and bought an OZ copy as well.
