A look at DSB around the world on iTune's Rock Chart

Postby Don » Sun Apr 24, 2011 10:11 am

#2 in Sweden
#6 in Norway
#3 in Canada
#68 in Denmark
#4 in Greece (also Anyway You Want It at #39)
#6 in Ireland
#4 in Mexico (also Separate Ways at #92)
#24 in Netherlands
#3 in New Zealand
#4 in U.S (also Anyway You Want It at #39, just like in Greece)

Japan and Australia were a few of the larger markets where Journey was noticeably absent. Also, COH seems to have fallen off of the Swedish and Japanese charts. No other sitings of City Of Hope or Human Feel, as far as iTunes goes.
I did find DSB on Amazon UK's Downloads chart at #65 on the rock chart and at #5 on the Classic Rock chart but again, no sign of COH.
All downloads of DSB, AWYWI and Separate Ways are from the 1989 release of Journey's Greatest Hits.

The lack of Human Feel and City of Hope is rather disheartening. But, they seem to be just about the worst choices for singles so it makes sense.

On Amazon U.S.A., DSB is the #1 download in the Classic Rock category and at #9 on the regular Rock chart.

The only problem with releasing different tunes like Chain Of Love is, where are they going to edit it? I wonder if Neal was thinking to just forget about singles and Management said "No, something has to be released", even if it has to be chopped up.

It is still early days though so COH might pick up speed later, when the tour starts.

A little surprising that there are STILL no samples up yet on Wal-Marts' Site..

Aren't they normally about 30 days ahead of release? I would look for them on Monday.

They were up six weeks prior to Revelation's release. With COH and Human Feel out on the International market, along with Amazon UK putting out their samples, I can't see what the hold up is.
No matter I guess, We'll get to hear the whole thing in a month (or less).

Surprised to see that City of Hope is not on the Latin American itunes charts. I thought that single would have really caught on with the central and south american countries.

Being a Walmart exclusive on CD, is it even available on iTunes? Has anyone verified that it is?

It wasn't released in Latin America, only Human Feel.

These markets are all under Frontiers, hence the song being available on iTunes and Amazon ouside the U.S.. COH DID chart in Japan and Sweden earlier this month but with no tour to promote it, hard to gain any traction.

Oh ok, my bad. Hopefully when Journey starts touring Europe in June maybe at least City of Hope will start to take off.
