I am new to the board and just wanted to make the announcement that it charted at #25 in the UK. (and #98 in Australia). Not bad at all. To introduce myself, I have been a Beach Boys/Brian Wilson fan since my sister bought me "L.A (Light Album)" as a Christmas gift. I had never heard of Brian Wilson or The Beach Boys till then, and slowly began to "hunt down" all of their albums/songs. I will post my review of "NPP" soon.

You beat me to it…!
Aye, pretty good start. Hopefully that will rise when Amazon gets round to fulfilling its order backlog!

In context, his highest charting solo album in the UK since 2004.

Yep, that`s a very solid effort. When are the US charts announced?

That can only mean he'll chart lower in the US... |

I believe it has also charted at 22 in Holland and 94 in Ireland.

At least in online sales, NPP has really fallen off the map. I thought it would be an easy top 20 in the US, but now I'm not so sure. Hopefully in store sales were very strong.

Really? It's consistently been a top ten seller on Amazon for around a week. Where do people come up with this stuff? |

Early U.S. chart returns have him at #12.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I'm an ignorant about all this. I saw the link Wirestone provided. Are those physical copies? Does that include downloads?
I regret to say I have no clue as to who the top 3 are.

I believe physical and download copies are counted together these days, as they are all paid individual copies of an album. The bigger question is streaming (Spotify, et. al), which is now included on a separate chart (sales plus streaming). |

So it sold less than 10,000 copies first week? Da-amn, that's pretty rough if true. Didn't TWGMTR do like 60,000?

That's with slightly more than half of the sales numbers in. The final number will be closer to 20,000, most likely. By comparison, TLOS sold 21,000 its first week. Given the secular decline in the record biz, Brian nearly matching sales numbers from seven years ago is pretty impressive. |
