Norway, week 6, down from #1 spot now it's @ 6th place
Welcome to the videos still #1.

Still 2nd place on the Euro chart.

I didn't see the TV ads as much last week, but the past two days I've seen it more often in a shorter version. They probably knew about the drop in sales last week!

GUNS N' ROSES' "Greatest Hits" album (Geffen Records) has proven an enormous success for Universal Music International, shipping 1.2 million units across Europe within five weeks of release.

Released internationally on March 15 (March 23 in the U.S.), the album has featured at the top of the charts in Austria, Finland, Ireland, Norway and the U.K. It is now two times platinum in Ireland & the United Kingdom, platinum in Norway and Switzerland, and gold in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy and Sweden.

"Greatest Hits" has also sold 1 million copies in the USA and Canada, peaking at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard charts, and at No. 2 in Canada, and is gold in both territories. It is also two times platinum in New Zealand and gold in Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.

Platinum for CDs in Norway is 40.000 units. That is not bad in 5 weeks !!! I believe the Illusion sets has shiftet close to 150.000 each. I'm not so sure about Lies and Appetite, but I believe Lies has sold more than 75.000. And Appetite should have sold more, but not sure about that.

Actually Lies entered the Norwegian chart before Appetite, however Appetite was on the chart for 26 weeks, Lies only had 12 weeks on the chart.

#8 on Billboard in US this week.

Looks like it could be dropping off the No.1 spot in the UK it's been down in a number of shops and online lists, interesting though looking in Night & Day magazine (comes free w/ 'The Mail On Sunday') they had the album chart positions and had a picture of Axl saying Guns N' Roses are top of the album charts interesting thing though was the picture was from the 2002 VMA's, normally they show the old pictures so it was nice to have a recent one

[Skeba]

Still no 1 in Finland. 7th week on the charts 4th in the top position.

[Hammy]

Slipped to No.2 in the UK like i predicted Anastacia is at No.3 but now at No.1 is D12

[Insomnis]

Dropped from 6th to 7th place on the Norwegian Chart, still #2 on the Euro chart, and #1 on the Norwegian Music DVD chart.
