Iron Maiden :: Charts & Sales History

[Xacal]

And SAles around World... news?

[Priestfan]

The new album has sold 126,000 copies in the U.S. after 9 weeks.

[nibblet]

if I remember correctly, unbelievable as it seems, also VXI went gold in Greece

Matteo

p.s. gold record meant 25,000 copies sold in 1998!

Well, both 'The X-Factor' and 'Virtual 11' apparently went to number 1 in Greece so....

What country friend?

[nelson]

What country friend?

Canada.
But one thing, when you read there's reply like "Canada rocks" it's clearly the answer...
Or try to read every thread on page one only, you seems not like a chart fan...

[Priestfan]

Good to see BNW has gone Gold in Canda after 6 years. I hope it will eventually go Gold in the US.

Does anyone have info about IM certifications and charts in Denmark? I know for certain that no album has been certified since 200.

Probably, Dane can help!

What I understand from bruce speech is that all albums at that time reached gold (unofficialy) and not specifically Somewhere in time. I will check that again
