Music Week (22/Sep/97) - Jamiroquai are already reaping the benefits of winning four awards at the MTV Video Music Awards after their album Travelling Without Moving jumped 46 places to a new high of 29 this week on the Billboard 200 chart. Epic/S2 director of international marketing Jon Fowler says he is confident it can now double its current US sales of more than 750,000 units.

Additionally, the UK triple platinum (900,000) selling album Travelling Without Moving is at number 37 in the official UK album chart, exactly a year after it was released. In the top 40, it is the fourth album to still be there after a year.
