I have done my research....the album's at No. 21 on Soundscan...not Top10.

You mean the several thousand album purchasers that these charts actually
recognize?
Do you know how many copies of a CD you have to sell in any given week to
make Canada's Soundscan Top 200?
Between 250 and 300 units depending on how shitty the weather is in Winnipeg
that week.
If The Darkness were selling anything over 10,000 units in this country
they'd be No.1....as opposed to Evanescence. Something they won't do until
Warner releases the CD domestically -- currently it's the import only that's
getting the attention.
Have their record go Gold (50,000) and then we'll talk about who's warming
up to them....
Jaimie Vernon,
Bullseye
