Just for curiosity... Some time ago I think it was posted here a list of each PSB album sales... Does anybody know which countries have traditionally been the ones with the biggest sales? At least the five top countries?

Germany
USA (even Nightlife sold 170,000 copies, three times more than the UK)
UK
Japan
Spain
Would be my educated guesses. Certainly the first four - the fifth could be Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil.... I'm really not certain. They do sell well in South America but then piracy is also rampant there.
They also sell consistently well across larger geographic regions, ie South East Asia - however individual markets there are smaller so they are grouped into a region for the purposes of calculating sales, awarding Gold/Platinum discs etc.

.
'Nightlife' sold 139.000 copies in America (until October 2004).
I think Germany is the country where the PSB sell more records.
Ah, my mistake. It must have been Bilingual which sold 170k in the US. I was getting them confused

Really? What was it that sold 168,000 copies? Am I just imagining this number?
I really must cut back on the drinking.
... actually I just checked - there is no such figure. Silly Jamie. Ignore me.

I guess I would say the same countries as you, Jamie... But I had always supposed the first one would be the UK! Frankly, I´ve got no idea... Thanx.

I believe that's called a Freudian slip
