Chart Performance
Funky Dory debuted at number nine on the UK albums chart. Since its release the album has achieved platinum status in the United Kingdom, where after six weeks, it descended from the top-seventy-five. The albums re-issue debuted at number thirteen on the albums chart, selling 14,600 copies in its first week, becoming the hundred and eightieth best selling album of 2004. Together, both albums have sold over 310,000 copies in the UK. It is very unusual for a re-released album to be more popular than the original. Elsewhere the album failed to generate much interest, resulting in low sales and chart positions.
