GLOBAL SALES ANALYSIS Mraz did get the coveted


 BY ALAN JONES


There’s no disputing the biggest new arrival on the international chart scene last week – by some distance it was Love Is A Four Letter Word, the fourth studio album by Jason Mraz (pictured). However, after missing out on the UK No.1 slot by a mere 44 sales, Mraz had a similarly sobering experience on the charts in his homeland, where Lionel Richie’s recent TV special provided just enough impetus for his Tuskegee album to register a second straight week at the summit, with Mraz again stranded in second place.


number one slot north of the border in Canada however, and Love Is A Four Letter Word also made debuts in the Netherlands (No.2), Switzerland (four), Austria (six), Germany (12), Spain (15), Denmark (15), France (16), Ireland (19), Australia (23), New Zealand (25), Norway (29), Flanders (37), Wallonia (52) and Italy (70). In a week when domestic acts


seemed to dominate over much of the world – Sexion D’Assaut (France), Pablo Alboran (Spain), The Soundtrack Of Our Lives

(Greece), Tomáš Klus (Czech Republic) and Iiris Vesiku (Estonia) are all No.1 in their own countries – three British acts are No.1 overseas: One Direction, Birdy and Iron Maiden. The subtext of that revelation is


(Sweden), Biagio Antonacci (Italy), Aslan (Ireland), ナオト・インティ ライミ(Japan), Die Ärzte (Germany), Jukka Poika (Finland), Lukas Graham(Denmark), Artur Andrus (Poland), Ismerős Arcok (Hungary), Νατάσα Θεοδωρίδου


that, for the first time since it was released, Adele’s 21 is not No.1 anywhere. Falling 1-2 in Flanders and 1-3 in Canada it is, of course, still a tremendously popular album, and of the 28 countries in which it remains Top 10 this week, it is down in 14, static in seven and up in seven. One Direction’s Up All Night


remains at one in Australia and Mexico, returns to the top in New


Zealand, and reaches new peaks in Iceland (18-14) and Wallonia (27- 21), while debuting in Taiwan, where it falls just short of the Top 20, and enters at three on the international chart. Birdy’s self- titled debut, meanwhile, tops the chart in Flanders at the 24th attempt, while Iron Maiden’s En Vivo tops the Croatian chart. Finally, while climbing 36-26 in


the UK, London singer/songwriter Alex Clare’s debut album The Lateness Of The Hour improves 86- 82 in the US and debuts at 27 in Germany, where his single Too Close – which has been galvanised by its use in the Microsoft Windows Explorer TV advert – jumps 3-1.
