4.6. Chart success (Kate Bush Info)
This section is a basic listing of chart position of Kate's singles,
albums and videos. Listing all chart positions from all charts from
all countries with all dates would need much too much space for the FAQ,
but such a list is in fact available. Send me <uli@zoodle.robin.de> a
mail and you'll get the latest copy.
Each item is only listed with the highest chart entry for each country.
Some countries have official or semi-official charts. For these countries
there might be two entries, if a specialised, non-local & non-radio-
station chart shows a higher position. Sometimes the chart publisher
isn't known. Some entries might even be wrong.
