I don't want to be helping Bart out in his arguments but albums don't have to sell big numbers to chart highly here in the UK.

I seem to remember 3121 sold more first week copies than Musicology and also more than Come which debuted at number 1! I seem to remember reading 3121 sold about 39,000 copies in it's first week. 3121 has dropped from 9-22-out of top 40, so hasn't sold many copies. I think Musicology dropped just as fast, so I can't see that having sold much over 100,000 here, if it's even that high. sad.


Actually, you're contradicting yourself here.... 3121 sold MORE than Musicology in its first week yet charted at no.9 (as opposed to Musicology's no.3)... so what does that tell us?
Where have I contradicted myself?

I said 3121 sold more copies than Musicology. I also said it sold more than Come which debuted number 1. Emancipation lover said Musicology charted number 3 and, "you need to move some units to get that, I guess". The point was to explain that Musicology sales in the UK weren't very large and that their guess was wrong.
RIP sad

But back to the original topic, yes the output of work was remarkable in the 80's.
