I've always wondered what previous Dev/SYL albums have sold? anyone know? i guess the SYL albums have sold the most out of them all... City and Alien probably did pretty well.

AE was released in 03 and Synchestra in 06? I thought Synchestra was 2004, and AE 2002?

HDR says 2003 and 2006.

Nice to see Townsend getting some cred, I didn't think I'd see the day

But hooray for it happening! I mean he's already a well-established, accomplished musician - but to get on the charts, it has to be the "right kind" of music - you know what I mean...

Doesn't matter as long as there's a devoted, loyal fanbase: which there always will be.

Wow! ...awesome!
-now to drop it into casual conversation:

' yeah you know, that ice cream kind of reminds me of that time Ki was in the charts...oh, I haven't told you about it??...well! it all started...'

thanks to all!

Is it true that Punky Brüster was #3 in the japanese charts? (The only source i know: http://www.geocities.com/dion_cohen/punkybruster.html)

How ironic i happen to be eating ice cream right now... you cant have any!

this is great, and it indicates people might want to see you over here in europe, mr. townsend sir!

If someone could explain to the ignorant: How exactly does an album make the charts? It's not just strictly album sales, right?

It is. I don't know about these "rock" and "indie" charts, but the finnish chart is definitely "most sold albums of the week". However, I think there are some retailiers (like webstores) which aren't counted.

nope. ae 2003 and syn 2006

Yay Finland! I thought there was a load of hidden Townsend fans here!

Opeth's Watershed actually got #1 in Finland...

Let's try to make that happen with Addicted then eh?

Synchestra was definitely 2006, because it came out the same year as SYL's The New Black.

I saw Ki at the HMV in downtown Toronto for $20.99 (ludicrous pricing I say!), so hopefully Sunrise or somewhere else has it more reasonably priced. I think it's a downtown HMV thing to mark up albums because all of their Devy albums were $20+ and I've seen them at other HMVs for less than $20.

^In Finnish web stores I've found a weird fact: Every other Devin album seems to be priced at nearly 20€, but Terria is 10€ at a lot of places... Weird.

No way!!! Really?!
I already wanted to visit Finland, but now....I know I must go.

I bet if Watershed and Ki did well, Addicted will do well, right?
