Tom and Maarten,

You two must be bankrupt by now buying all those copies

Belgium
#1 → #1 → #1 → #2 → #2 → #5 → #8 → #12 → #16 → #7 → #9 → #10 → #12 (week #13 - April 28 2012)

I missed last week, so here's the update for Croatia:

16th week of 2012, Old Ideas' 12th week on the list: up to #8. http://www.hdu-toplista.com/index.php?w ... ls&id=1010
17th week of 2012, Old Ideas disappeared from Top 40 (?), The Essential at # 15. http://www.hdu-toplista.com/index.php?what=lista&kat=2

The fact that Old Ideas dropped from #8 off the Top 40 shows how small Croatian market is, and that the list is counted according to the shipping from the label's stocks. I guess plenty of copies now is in stores (along with Fredericton EP), and that Old Ideas will return to Top 40 many times in next year or so, but still counting has to be very bad if an album from #8 disappears from Top 40 count.

maarten

i maybe i'm wrong but did you promise me that you and your little hard working elves would track and notate the phenomenal chart success of mr dylan's latest album...or did i imagine that?...ta ken

Ken,
Tempest already had his peak chart position in its first week: #3, despite my attempt to get it to number 2 of the Belgian charts (I bought the deluxe edition with that crapy little booklet inside yesterday and have listened to the album last night... Not convinced it should go to #1 yet... Will listen again on my way to Verona)

The little booklet in the ' deluxe' edition of Tempest is a complete rip off - but the album itself is superb IMO. Hope you get into it !
