: : I have read on a Stones LP cover, that Let It Bleed only reached #3 in the UK.
: It reached #3 in America,but it got to #1 in the UK.
: The problem with the UK charts up until about 20 years ago was that there wasnt ONE definitive chart,so sometimes you might get songs/albums reaching #1 on one chart (run by a magazine for example) but not on the more widely acceptable charts..'Brown sugar' reached #1 on some charts for example,whereas on most it only reached #2.
: Since the likes of Gallup took over some years ago,theres only been one chart
To answer Gazza's question, the fantastik "Bridges To Babylon" album debuted on the Billboard LP chart at #3, and never went higher (sigh).
