well in the UK, it went in fist week at #175 - that's worst than tres lunas, and probably any of his releases EVER!

Spain- first week #9, and still in top 25 now, see chart:

dunno about germany, but i'm sure he's safe there.

Im sure it is selling steadily, but it is a far cry from his million-selling days. I don't even think TB3 managed to sell a million?
anyone know different?

I'm told it reached number 26 in Germany - not quite the stunning chart position that Universal had been hoping for, but rather better than its performance in the UK!

I said it in another topic already: how can we expect for the public to buy this record if no promotion is being made.

I am a long time Mike Oldfield fan, but only found out about the new CD a couple of months ago, when I visited Mike's official web site (not that it's any good), did a google on the title, and found this site (tubular.net I mean).

Had I haven't followed the sites, I probably would have seen the CD a couple of weeks from now.

How can it sell, if no one knows it's there ?


--------------
I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us !
