[Robbie]

True Colors peaked at #25 in the UK, I think. I'm 99% sure.

I've got the UK Hit Singles and Albums book but not to hand. I'll check the albums section to double check that album peak and to see if any other album made the chart. It'll be in the morning when I can do it though.

[davidalic]

yes, "True colors" #25 and 12 wks on chart.
Also, "Hat full of stars" (1993) #56 (1 week); "Sisters of Avalon" (1997) #59 (1 week).

I do have the guinness book in my hands now

Guys, please post chart stats from other countries too, if you can. It's harder to find chart peaks from the 80s in some countries, unfortunately. :-?

According to the RIAA, "A Night To Remember" has not been certified.

[Dreams]

Aww that's what I was thinking...it's a shame though, cause it's probably close to it since it had that top ten hit.
