Hello hello,
I just noticed Ki on the official Finnish album charts at number 26!
What excellent news! Maybe not all hope is lost, for mankind, after all.

In the UK, not even in the top 100... (And if it went further, probably still not for another load yet)
Our nations music taste is brilliant

Same here in the Netherlands, no sign of it. I did see it was #179 in France though.
Oh well, maybe next week?

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised myself. I wonder how well the other albums did in comparison.
It'd be cool to see Devin getting some more well-deserved attention off the back of this. I wouldn't say this album is commercial, but at the same time (with the exception of a couple of songs), it's certainly less "scary" to people who don't like metal.

great news about being in the Finnish charts! Devin has always been liked here from what i know. Of course Amorphis is numero uno -- that's a hell of an album!

I agree!
Skyforger sounds fucking good!
But it can't beat Devin, can it?

It's not in the Dutch top 100 (yet?)...
Two weeks ago there was a small review in the biggest magazine of the Netherlands (range of 2,8 million readers each week), which gave it 4 out of 5 stars. The next week there was half a page filled with information about the DTP, with a picture and some positive writing. It's cool to see Devin in the media like this! Hopefully he'll appear in the charts soon.

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.

I don't think Norway even has a top 100. Fail.

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