This is a very interesting tread. Thanks all for the updates!

(Always took candy from strangers)

Spain, 5th week, at #12. Chart Run: 4 - 6 - 6 - 8 - 12

Another one: Denmark, 5th week, at #19. Chart Run 2 - 4 - 3 - 13 - 19

#4 worldwide according to Mediatraffic during the 5th week selling 107,000 copies, 1.412,000 copies total, with missing sales from small countries the number must be close to 1.5 million worldwide by now.
Anyway, it's an impressive success, the album has outsold the biggest releases of the past 6 months as Bruno Mars and The Weeknd (both with massive hits) and is at same level of Metallica with 2 weeks less of sales.

Do we have numbers for the many other european countries that are not included in this list?

There's not charts for all the other countries, some are not official, and with the ilegal downloads and streams many are not publishing charts anymore (Slovenia, Serbia among others)

Russia, Slovakia, Serbia, Slovenia, Iceland, Turkey, Malta, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Montenegro, Lichtenstein and Luxembourg (and more) don't have charts?

I know we're probably not talking about many sales here, but if there are charts there would be cool to know how the Stones are doing..

Reading the article mentioned by Palerider 22, I feel a bit puzzled. Or better, I feel I need a pill... And the reason is the definition of "veterans" as "artists who have been recording twenty years or more..."

Only 20 years? It's like yesterday to me! "Veterans"? Who? Artists like Keith Urban, Metallica, RHCP, Green Day and... Eminem? And... Beyonce? Oh, god.. Time flows very quicly, indeed... But it flows nicely, as long as the Stones are still touring and offering us albums like 'Blue and Lonesome'.

PS Glad to see CCR, my second most favourite band, on the chart, even at #166.

There's no oficial chart for any of those countries, Slovakia had one until 2 years ago but not anymore.
Also the 90% of music in Russia is ilegal.

No no, I don't think that Germany's return to the No. 1 spot is that special. Christmas is over therefore Helene Fischer is gone and I assume that Freiwild's fanship isn't big enough to block the No. 1 position.

[www.offiziellecharts.de]

RipThisBone, Canada is #14 now, as Georgelicks reported (Chart Run: 2-8-5-5-14)


PS Still great figures for B&L overall, folks. Don't forget, it's the 5th or the 6th week, not the first or the second...

Down to #10 in the UK selling 8,433 during the 6th week, total so far 283,766.

Its their first album to reach 6 weeks in the UK Top 10 since Hot Rocks (#3, 7 weeks in Top 10) in 1990 and the first studio album since Tattoo You (#2, 6 weeks in Top 10) in 1981.

300k plus in the UK will blow Jagger's mind

Georgelicks, how many weeks did "Voodoo Lounge" and "40 Licks" reach in the UK Top 10? Just curious...
