Chart Positions

[mikeyj]

Obviously its pretty easy to find US and UK chart positions for singles but is there a convenient place to find chart positions for Beach Boys singles/albums in other countries besides those two places.. I mean there is a few okay websites which have a few stats here and there but they are mostly incomplete and usually barely go back past 1990 etc.. So is there a book or a really good website with all this information in it that anyone could recommend?

[smile-holland]

not a website that I know of....but with many countries/nationalities present on this board, it might be a nice idea to try and get as many chartslists on this topic possible.

I could track down the Dutch single charts for sure. Album-charts might be a bit more difficult.

you can find single chart positions for a few other countries here:

Ok, Swiss charts 

The charts were introduced in 1968.

LOL!

[Magic Transistor Radio]

I noticed that Sloop John B is about a big an international hit as Good Vibrations.

[Eric Aniversario]

Whoa...did Summer In Paradise really chart on the Swiss charts?  That's the only chart appearance of that album that I've heard of.  I'm not bashing the album; I love it.  But that's really surprising to me. 

Does anyone know if it charted elsewhere?

[tpesky]

Yes...it charted in garbage dumps everywhere.  Oh sorry I had to, it does have a few decent moments

[Magic Transistor Radio]

I can't believe nothing of Dennis and Carl has charted anywhere on those lists! Was 'Forever' released on a single anywhere? Come on! What is wrong with record companies! What is wrong with record buyers! What is wrong with Mike Love! Oh sorry got carried away.

Whoa...did Summer In Paradise really chart on the Swiss charts?  That's the only chart appearance of that album that I've heard of.

It also charted in Germany. I guess we can thank John Stamos & "Forever" for that.

[Eric Aniversario]

Thanks for the info.  I find it interesting that in Germany the only post Pet Sounds albums to chart are Wild Honey, The Beach Boys (1985) [that's a big gap], Still Cruisin and Summer In Paradise.  Were all the other studio albums released in Germany?

[XY]

20/20 did also chart. I guess the post PET SOUNDS albums were all released in Germany, but I don't know for sure. Holland certainly was (first pressing with "We Got Love").

They also didn't have a single in the Top 100 between "Cotton Fields" & "Wipe Out":

Thanks Jasper for the info... Really helpful and thanks also Christian for that link, I haven't been on the Mt Vernon website for ages, I forgot it existed but it has some pretty useful information.
