'Behind The Mask' chart success and failure

[wetcamelfood]

Don't have the complete breakdown but I think it sold 2 mil worldwide. Yeah I think it was a success in the UK but not really in the US. Not sure in other countries though.

As big as Tango was in the U.S., wasn't it even bigger in the U.K. as well? The subsequent success of BTM makes sense since they were still riding high on their previous album.

Tango was huge in the UK..3 singles went 10 ten there and it hit number one both in '87 and '88..BTM definitely rode it's coattails.BTM was a flop here in the states compared to all the multi-million selling ,hit single laden" Rumours five "albums that preceded it.At least it charted though Time didn't even do that.
