'Number Ones' is still #1 on Australia's Top Music DVD chart. 'Thriller' also climbs to #22 on the Australian Urban Album chart.

Thread updated with Australian info, a more thorough Brazilian chart trajectory of 'Number Ones' and 'One More Chance', and the UK update. Since 'Thriller' has likely entered the UK's main album chart despite not cracking the Top 40, I'll update the thread with that info once I get it.

Thanks again Extraordinary and RS78.

I ask you to be very careful with the midweek numbers for week 8. They could be false. A second set of midweeks has Michael at #7. I will refrain from posting any midweek figures until our credible source bergy comes back from Australia.

OMC fell 9 to #59 on the UK Singles Chart (in it's 6th week).
