Joshua Tree Chart Positions! - Page 4

I've just found the following chart run for Joshua Tree in France - it's from SNEP which is the offical chart company since 1985 (I think) :

1987-03-29 : 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 5 - 5 - 8 - 8 - 9 - 9 - 16 - 16 - 26 - 26 - 30 - 30 - 26 - 26 - 29 - 29

1988-01-03 : Suite... 29 - 30 - 30 - 30
1993-08-08 : 38 - 48 - 39 - 44
1997-06-29 : 23 - 32 - 41 - 36
2001-03-04 : 35 - 40 - 51 - 72

So, it seems JT DID spend 20 weeks at # 1 in France - amazing!

Joshua Tree only spent 2 week at No. 1 in the UK because it was Knocked off the top by a compilation album. Back then compilation albums were allowed to chart on thE Uk Album Chart. Since 1989 they havn't. If Compilation albums weren't allowed to chart back when JT was released, it would have spent 4 weeks at No. 1 rather than 2.
