Isn't it a time to say something important to lift Old Ideas up in this ranking?

According to Croatian Discographic Union at http://www.hdu-toplista.com/download.ph ... sta&id=995, Old Ideas is in its 7th week again up, from #6 to #4.

Croatia, 8th week, Old Ideas fighting back after Bruce Springsteen came and went... Leonard is back on 3#! (Adele on #1 of course.)

The Essential Leonard Cohen back at #14, 22nd return to Top 40.

Belgium

I hope the excellent sales of the Ghent concerts lift Old Ideas back in the top 10 or top 5 next week!

And I hope that Croatia's love bring Leonard back to our Arena for another sold out show of the decade, be it in 2013 leg!

Still not so sure...

Hungary:

Go Hungary! Although I highly presume that our Hungarian ladies bought ten copies each::))
