And remained at the same spot the week after (week ending August 23):

The rankings are based on integrated sales figures from various music stores.

Just found out that the site has a votes-based category for foreign songs. For the latest week, the Foreign Voter's Hitlist shows After All These Years at #1, up 2 notches from #3 last week:

The rankings are based on integrated sales figures from various music stores.

I tried voting and this is what I got:

Your vote for "After All These Years" by Journey has been cast.
You may vote again in 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
To go back to the vote page, you may click here.
Or you may go to the Chart Central Blog for the latest countdown updates.

So really, it's very easy to get to number 1. I'm sure I can play with my browser and I should be able to vote again before the hour is up. With a little script, I'm sure I can do it automatically. I think a rating should be based on Album sales and how frequently it is being requested for airplay. The latter isn't even that accurate because a small number of fans can request for a song to be played repeatedly making it appear that it is very popular.

Personally, I would be more thrilled to see Revelation on number 1 in the album sales category but that is not going to happen soon without any promotions from MCA Music.

The album chart (The Philippines Hot Albums) is anchored on market offtake:

The Philippines Hot Albums is based on combined sales data from Astroplus/Astrovision and Odyssey music stores.

Only the song charts (Foreign Voter's Hitlist and Grand Voter's Hitlist) are founded on data from online voting...
Well, they are what they are, no more no less--Voter's Hitlists, as exactly named...for all their inherent disadvantages and ambiguities.

So how many copies has it sold thus far?

Bummer (Philippine) charts LOL...No sales figures were disclosed.

jestor92 wrote:So how many copies has it sold thus far?

422,187 packages or 844, 374 RIAA in certified sales.

Sales are solid this week so far, 10.9K with 54% in.

Sales as of right now with the 10,902 being reported for week 13 stand at 453,089 or 906,178 in official RIAA sales.

I think there will be another 2-3K before 100% of the sales this week are thru--good showing this late in the game, in my opinion.

Sales have been robust, indeed. I was told and posted about 2 months ago that there were high hopes within the band that Revelation could stay between 10k and 15k through the end of the tour. Seems like that is going to happen.

Oh, yes, the Billboard figures...Reminds me of DNA's weeklies. Gustav owes us the week 13 (LOL, of all weeks) thread.

how do you find out how many units the GH sold?

Man I would like to know how this album is selling in Canada, since it's also $11.88 here at Walmart as well.
