Not the official Billboard 200 chart, but this one shows Popular Problems at #12 in the US - disappointing?

Great news - why do people in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria have such superior taste to those here in the USA?

Nevermind - what is #27? I see he also makes #50.

So, http://oe3.orf.at/charts/stories/2602614/

#50 - Greatest Hits (5 weeks in 2009, 2 weeks in 2013; peaked at #28)

I've heard, the new album is #4 in Germany, but I don't have the proof (c)

I don't think it's a question of superior taste, I think it's a reflection of the way music is marketed and publicized in this country. That system is broken. People won't buy it if they haven't heard it.

Last.fm: not an official chart, but a global scale thing.

Week ending September 28:

#241 - Almost Like the Blues
#331 - Slow
#469 - My Oh My
#470 - Samson in New Orleans (these two songs have equal number of listeners)

LC - #177 in the artist's chart.

Good news from Spain too.
Third position for "Popular problems", BUT considering the two first are really popular Spanish artists, first international album for LC then.
