The decline in the standard of Bon Jovi's music must also make a difference!

A number 1 is a number 1...stop bashing the band at every opportunity.

Italy, France, Canada?

Up from #36 to #4 in Hungary!

Bon Jovi are the best selling international artist this week, only 3 Hungarian groups outsold them (2 of them with very cheap CD-s, and 1 of them with a lead singer who has sadly passed away last week).

And the true die hard fans (including myself) haven't even bought the album yet, because the Deluxe Edition will only be released in April here!

Also, this chart position is better than what The Circle (#11) and Greatest Hits (#7) reached here.

OK, we're a small market, but What About Now is still selling surprisingly well.

France I can believe as they never do well there but Canada really?

No way they didn't chart in Canada.

That link isn't even remotely correct. Click on the United States. You can tell it's screwy.

They were like #22 in the iTunes charts on the first few days and then they were gone .... of course because our cd sales are majorly based on radio or tv airplay .... the media protect the artists or they ignore them or worse...
France is a country that tend to like artists that like France (the hen and the egg story which one is first? who do like who first ? ) Bowie new Cd was talked on all the media ...

Hmmm Canada is maybe late .....

it is not updated .... mars 4th week

That France chart must be the week before, there's no way they would surely miss out on the top 250! Its down as 4th-11th march, so the next period would be the one to find.
