Time On Earth - Charts

Charts

Time on Earth entered the Australian ARIA Albums Chart on 8 July at #2, just behind Michael Bublé's Call Me Irresponsible, however in its second week, it rose to the #1 position, swapping with Call Me Irresponsible which then moved to #2. It entered the RIANZ albums chart in New Zealand on 9 July 2007 also at #2, though slipped to #3 in its second week, instead of rising as it did in Australia. Crowded House's place of origin is held in contention due to the band being led by Neil Finn of New Zealand, however the band has always resided in, and was formed in, Australia. Due to this constant confusion, both ARIA and RIANZ consider the group to be native to their respective countries, as they're indicated as "local artists" in the album listings, on ARIA as a "red spot" and on RIANZ with the item highlighted in green. On the U.S. Billboard 200, the album debuted at number 46, with about 16,000 copies sold in its first week. The album entered the charts in the United Kingdom at #3 with sales of over 27,000, being Crowded House's highest charting studio album in the UK, only being superseded by Recurring Dream which achieved a #1 position and sold over a million copies. It also entered the Canadian Albums Chart #38, its Canadian peak position.
