Man In The Rain Group: Members Posts: 405 Joined: April 2002 Posted: April 01 2002, 14:00 hello! i've been curious for a long time as to how mike's albums have done in countries other than the UK. Everyone knows the UK chart history, and Mike's German sales discs, but does anyone know any chart positions for Mike's albums around the world? Not just Germany and Spain but anywhere else? Thankyou for your help -------------- Hergest Ridge 165 - Ommadawn 038 - Incantations 243 Back to top

I can only remember the three last albums, TBIII, Guitars and TMB. TBIII --> Top position Number 1 Guitars --> Top position Number 6 TMB --> Top position Number 8 Sales in Spain: TBIII --> 400.000 copies Guitars --> At least 100.000 copies, could be more TMB --> At least 100.000 copies, could be more TBII --> 500.000 copies Back to top
