So all of the Japanese have better musical taste than half of the Americans! (HA!) Okay... It's conjecture... HOWEVER... She spent a lot of time in Japan before she hit the US, and the tour there (according to Peter White) was *most* successful (he said the crowds there are unreal). They wouldn't have gone there if the sales hadn't indicated there was an audience there... I mean... WHY if no one knows who you are, do you bring such a huge touring company to JAPAN??? You want resources other than Peter White? Try Dee Anthony. He's paid to keep track of these things. (heh!) You know, speaking of crowds, Peter also said that the crowds in Poland were simply amazing... When he got off the plane (after Basia) he felt like he was taking part in the first time the Beatles toured the US... The adulation of the crowd was just enormous, and there were more tv cameras there than Peter had ever seen collected in one place at one time. Basia is a BIG HEROINE in Poland... :) >(ok, >tell me, then send a bill) !-) Oooooh ohhhkay... I just found out that if you want "inside" information and archival info on music charts & such, Billboard Magazine has an online service you can "subscribe" to... It ain't free, but it looks like it's got a lot of info. I frankly think it's kinda tacky that they CHARGE for this info when you can go to a library and find it, but I guess they had to pay *someone* to put it into a researchable database. :) check out http://www.billboard-online.com (I think that's it) Steve wrote: >What???

She's a Top 5 artist in Japan. I believe TSI peaked at #3 on their album charts. And I'll bet the CD shops in Tokyo are a goldmine for rarer Basia selections (CD5's, CD3's, and so on). > You want resources other than Peter White? Try Dee Anthony.

They go out of date as they are being printed what with all these new *former* communist breaking up. Speaking of former communist states.
