I just saw the full UK top 200 singles and albums and ABB is a re-entry at #181, its first appearance in UK charts since December.

Biggest Mistake, new entry at #51 with 2,350 copies sold.
Forty Licks is steady at #19 with 11,400 copies sold last week and 1.045,000 total.
ABB is a re-entry at #181 with 1,100 copies sold last week and 131,000 total.

The chart run for ABB in UK:
17/09/2005 - *2*-13-32-61-92-121-158-198-x-x-x-150-146-115-111-116 (13 wks)
Re #01 - 02/09/2006: 181 (1 wk, 14 wks total)

Thanks for the info. Do you have the US Soundscan figures for A Bigger Bang and Rarities? Also how do the numbers on McCartney's Chaos And Creation In The Backyard compare in the US, as I know they were very close to each other. Thanks again.

Once again this proves that people only want to buy the 'Stones' biggest hits
and are not really interested in their new material.
I can understand this in view of the quality of songs on the 1st side of 40 Licks.
This of course is also reflected in what songs the paying public wish to hear in live concert.
