So...the official UK chart positions are in and in its first week of release Rock Dust Light Star entered the official UK album chart at position seven with sales of 34,378 copies.  Midweek the album was at number five but unfortunately couldn't hold on for the rest of the week.

The top three position sales figures were as follows: 1) Cheryl Cole - 105,431 copies, 2) Bon Jovi - 87,145, 3) Rumer - 66,452.  Looking back a few years, in 2006 the High Times Greatest Hits album sold 78,957 copies to enter the UK album chart at number 1.  In June 2005 Dynamite sold 64,150 copies in its first week and entered the chart at number 3.

Overseas the album is having plenty of success (lets not mention the new entry at number 29 in Ireland).  A few days ago Jamiroquai.com reported that the album is at number one in the Netherlands.

In the singles chart, sales of White Knuckle Ride as a digital only download were counted in the official UK singles chart (not that anyone really knew what was going on with the single release!) and this gave the single a new entry at number 39! Apparently a vinyl release of the single is coming out on 8 November... Blue Skies, the 'official' first single release from the album entered the UK singles chart at 76.
