I've always been facinated by how much better TITN went down in the UK that the US. It hit #1 on three seperate occasions and was the year-end 5th highest seller in 87 in the UK and the year-end 7th highest seller in 88. It is the 7th highest seller of the 1980's in the UK and is still something like the 50th highest selling record of all time.

Behind the Mask debuted at #1 in the UK and went platinum there. Behind the Mask barely made it to #18 in the USA. Its so strange as Mick Fleetwood would say, the more successful in the USA the less successful in the UK and vice versa.
