It's on this forum  http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=5   Great site. Look under UK charts

The figure was 10,973  sold last week, in the UK.

If i remember correctly, Get Lucky sold 13,000 in it's first week in the UK, and around 24,000 in the US first week.
Its all in the forum somewhere, There is even a MK/DS sales thread .

#10 on the physical market with 4.895 sales , #15 on digital market.

I count for 1 on physical so who are the 4.894 others?
(this figure is ridiculous, being in the top ten with under 5.000 sales).

The haters are those who write shit

Maybe, we should sum up the chart positions:

Germany: 1
Norway: 1
Austria: 1
Finland: 1
Netherlands: 1
Switzerland: 2
Spain: 2
Italy: 2
UK: 8
France: 10

Any more? Please add...

Best chart positions since STP?

But that's 12 years since then. I guess he needed to sell a lot more copies then as he does these days to reach these positions...

1,2 million STP? Is that right?

Privateering will probably be around that figure in a couple of years from now, it will have sold over 100,000 in the UK by then, and if its similar to GL, approx 200-250,000 in the USA. The worldwide sales will be close to 1.2m . Year end 2006 ATRR sold 673,000 ww, (It will be well over the million by now), Privateering will follow roughly the same i would think.
I saw a soundscan figure for GL in the USA a year or so ago   on the UKMIX forum, it was about 200k IIRC.
Heres a few more chart placings-
N Zealand-3
Poland-4
Czech/Slovak-5
Hungry-10
Ireland-25
