I should point out that no. 2 on the UK rock charts only equates to no. 49 in the actual album charts. It's still good by comparison to WCFYA though, which didn't make the top 100.

That's last weeks chart. Billboard won't publish this weeks chart until Friday. What I linked to is a trade magazine that publishes the official sales results as they are compiled. Or maybe i'm just lying, created that whole website I linked to for a joke, and the estimates were so far out that...

The final sales and position is in. No. 14 with 24970 copies sold. Beat new releases from Bush, Primus and Alice Cooper. http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgi

I'd hardly call STP a grunge band anyway, maybe a song or two, they are really more diverse than people give them credit for. I do think some of this album sounds like Soundgarden though, and Maiden too. I'm a big fan of Bush anthrax, I didn't get into them until SOWN because I was too young...
