Iron Maiden Invade the Czech Charts
It seems that the opening of the Maiden tour in Prague had a good side effect: a lot of the back catalog is back on the official top 80 album chart !# 22 : Live after Death (35)
# 43 : A Real Live Dead one
# 44 : Live at Donnington
# 60 : Edward the Great
# 61 : Fear of the Dark
# 62 : Number of the Beast
# 63 : Piece of Mind
# 72 : Powerslave
Well done !

Would actually be interesting to see how Maiden charts in countries they visit.
The charting of the new 'Essential Iron Maiden' album in the US will be interesting too, as Ozzfest is pretty well covered in the mainstream news.
Cheers

We'll see that ...
in europe it seems that Live after Death is selling more than others : it was also #82 in poland in may and also #8 on fnac hard chart in France. Probably thanks to a low price (8,99 € for a 2 cd album !!)

Unbelievable. Is this the 'normal' album chart or a rock-album chart?
