WBSS08 charted higher than WBSS83 in Aus

[Bob George]

In 1983, Wanna Be Startin' Something peaked at #23 in Australia. So far, WBSS08 has peaked at #8. It could go even higher this week though. I just thought it was strange that the remix has charted higher than the original single.

I also find it strange that they decided to release TGIM in UK & other parts of Europe... Here in Sweden, WBSS is doing much better (around 40 places) in the charts than TGIM on downloads alone, whil TGIM had both downloads and physical CD

Not too suprised. Akon is pretty popular down under yeah?
