French Deb Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I was listening to (I think it was) the radio 5 interview and Mika said that BIOTG is number one in Japan and Koria, and in the top 100 in America, even though it hasn't officially been released. Also he said that Rain was doing well in (I think he said) France (and I think he said) it's number 3.The point is that his songs are being downloaded individually, as well as on the album, and people arn't even waiting for the songs to be released! This is really amazing news!! exactly ! it's amazing that Rain in number 3 here in France in downloads thanks to the Grand Journal promo !!!

Showtunes17 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 I love BIOTG but Rain should be the 2nd single though! It's instantly catchy I'm just still irked from last time when he didn't release Relax take it easy in the UK but everywhere else he did. Can't wait for a new video, i'm lovin the promos, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Does anyone know what position the album reached in Germany? I tried to check the other day but couldn't find anything. So far, Ireland is the only country (to the best of my knowledge) where it hasn't reached the Top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Deb Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yeah, this whole next single thing is really confusing. We read it's Rain in France, and he told to CazGirl yeasterday at Jools Holland's that it's gonna be Rain, but BIOTG is gonna release too at the same time, in certain countries... too complicating for me ! But why isn't there a video for Rain already ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariposa Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Mika's already number 1 in France !!! http://www.chartsinfrance.net/MIKA/news-68678.html yeah ! we rock !! we have to wait on friday to have the details of the sellings but, between the 18 and the 20th september (3 days ! ) : 35 676 sellings 5 751 downloads = 41 427 sellings !!! I love France! Does anyone know what position the album reached in Germany? I tried to check the other day but couldn't find anything. So far, Ireland is the only country (to the best of my knowledge) where it hasn't reached the Top 10. I just checked. TBWKTM entered at position 6. source: http://www.media-control.de/madonnas-traumstart-in-den-album-charts.html I quote: Mika legt mit "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" seinen zweiten Longplayer vor. Die CD steigt auf dem sechsten Rang ein. It's ok (top ten), but he could have done better...Hopefully more people will buy TBWKTM when the following singles are released.

So far, Ireland is the only country (to the best of my knowledge) where it hasn't reached the Top 10. I haven't found Germany. But according to this french website that lists the official numbers of sellings around the world, we have : - US not in the 100 top : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-usa-albums.php - UK : number 4 http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-uk-albums.php - Australia : number 10 : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-australia-albums.php - Belgium : n° 4 : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-belgium-albums.php - Danmark : not in the top 40 : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-denmark-albums.php,p4 - Finland : not in the top 40 yet : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-finland-albums.php,p4 - Ireland : n° 14 : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-ireland-albums.php,p2 - Italy : n° 7 : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-italy-albums.php - Norway : not yet in the top 40 : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-norway-albums.php - New Zeeland : too early : the numbers are until the 21th http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-norway-albums.php - Netherlands : n° 5 : http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-dutch-albums.php - Sweden : too early (only until the 21th ) http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-sweden-albums.php - Switzerland : same as Sweden http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/world-swiss-albums.php For Spain, Austria the figures are until the 14th september, so no TBWKTM yet ! And according to this website : http://www.billboard.com/artist/mika/chart-history/710017#/album/mika/the-boy-who-knew-too-much/1281821 it's number 21 in Europe !!!

Mary Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 In Portugal, the album is obviously NOT #1, but it entered the top 30 anyway... The Boy Who Knew Too Much is #17 this week! http://www.artistas-espectaculos.com/topafp/pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenie Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 TBWKTM is #7 in the spanish charts. That makes me so proud and happy, because LICM only reached #11 (now, it´s time to move your ass here, Mika! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked Mika what his next single was (I can't actually remember who asked ) and he said it was Rain. I thought that was confusing because he'd already done the video, and he said it was gonna be released in some countries but BOTH singles were to be released at the same time. So I'm thinking it's gonna be like Relax/Lollipop. He said "wait till you see the video!" but I think he was talking about BIOTG because I know that's been done, don't know about rain. EDIT: It was Daz who asked him, but I think I mentioned the BIOTG video. I'm not sure. I know nothing I remember f**k all when I meet Mika and it pees me off!

Menthe Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks for the information on Billboard (I will put the page in my favorites now ) Mika is really making a breaktrough in the USA market! I hope that this time he'll get more radio play. Also some of his new songs would be great film soundtracks and get him more exposure there.

It is very interesting that because of itunes & downloads ordinary people are determining which tracks hit the charts. The music industry is changing rapidly.

maude Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 From Billboard: http://www.billboard.com/#/news/madonna-s-celebration-tops-euro-chart-1004018107.story The big climber into the Europe-wide top ten is Mika's sophomore album "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" (Casablanca/Universal Island), which climbs 21-4 after a 2-1 rise in France and debuts at No. 2 in Switzerland, No. 4 in the United Kingdom, No. 5 in Holland, No. 6 in Germany, No. 7 in Spain and No. 9 in Switzerland. Its U.K. debut, on sales of 40,000, compares to an opening 100,000 units there when his debut "Life In Carton Motion" opened at No. 1 in February 2007. "Knew Too Much" is also new at No. 2 in Switzerland and No. 9 in Austria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
