Eclipse is Journey's 5th Top 40 UK album

[Don]

Well, a bit of good news. Neal said this was the market he was aiming for so it looks like he succeeded at that.
Note: This a midweek chart so it is subject to change.


Veteran US rock band Journey look like scoring their fourth UK Top 40 hit with a newly-issued Eclipse – released on their Frontiers label – showing up as a new entry at 14.


I believe Revelation reached #68 on the chart before departing the following week.

Journey's Greatest Hits reached #12 in 2010

ROR was on the chart for five weeks, peaking at #22.

Escape spent 16 weeks on the chart, reaching #32

Frontiers was Journey's only Top 10 album in the UK, reaching #6 and spending eight weeks on the chart overall.

Amazing that any of the '80s albums made it onto the chart at all when you consider Journey wasn't touring Europe during that era.



I almost forget about Evolution. It spent one week at #100 and did have a Euro tour to back it up.

Very impressive! Man my prediction was way off. I thought they would peak at #58 on uk music charts. I bet they hit the top 30 in Germany.

Any chart positions or numbers for other countries yet?

No, I don't really follow all those little countries. Just the UK, Japan and North America. If it goes #1 anywhere, we'll know from the band itself.

Still reeling from the US numbers. That IS the place they need to do well in, in the end.
