ROTT enters at #41 Canadian album chart

Nielsen SoundScan Top 100 Albums - Jam

According to SoundScan, ROTT has debuted at #41 in the country that "has placed itself alongside China as the cruelest and most self-serving nation," Canada.

In 2004, YATQ entered the Canadian charts at #37, so not much of a difference, though I don't have the numbers on copies sold as yet.

Seven other albums debuted higher in Canada for the week ending 13 April including albums from Pink, Rascal Flatts, Le Bouthillier Wilfred, The Flaming Lips, Stabilo, Ghostface Killah and highly anticipated various artist compilation, Oh What A Feeling 3, which just edged Moz out of the Canadian Top 40- pretty sad.

This just goes to show that most Canadians either don't know of Morrissey or, more likely, haven't heard the remarks made by him.

Just goes to show he's not exactly a household name anywhere outside of England and so his remarks don't really mean much to anyone who isn't a hardcore fan.

    Canadian Copy of ROTT (Score:0)
    My Canadian friend's copy of ROTT was made in Canada. What to do when Morrissey says to Boycott Canadian goods? Heck, he probably could've made it to #40 instead of #41.

      come on...just read that sentence...there must be some canadians who are embarrassed to be associated to these scary types. Such allegiance to your country...how was morrissey supposed to know?

      So it's you guys who are not being fair and irrational. Many of us, including morrissey, never knew of the loyalty to one's country many canadians posses.

      Move to the states for a few months. then you may just wane yourself off your mother's tit.

      Fellow Canadians,
      There is no point in mentioning our anger and disapointment anymore. Most of the people here can't relate.
      Just know, I am with you, I have not bought the album either. I might, not sure. Morrissey made it easy not to rush out and buy it the first day like I was going too, thats for sure.

        hi.

        from windsor canada. i read the following quote from moz and i don't undestand how come American fans never got upset...

        On the U.S.: “I’m not saying that Americans are models of perfection, but ‘diseased orangutans’ is a little extreme. I’m sure they’re a couple of steps up from that!” ....It's an insult on your country, and worse, on the actual people (and i know morrissey has done the same to you, as well as the UK. Don't you want to stand up for your country and boycott moz for that? I would be so angry!! No one should criticize my country and/or its people!! Us canadians are going to see to it that Morrissey is ruined for this. Don't worry USA, we'll stand up for you, and feel insulted and angry for you.

        For I am Canadian-- A Whiney, Crying, Nationalist, Sensitive cry baby that sensatializes everything!!!

        Aey.

          He really is a pathetic, juvenile hypocrite.

            I dont entirely agree with Morrissey's View 70% percent of the time..but I listen to him for his Music only.

            Isn't 'cruellest' spelt with two Ts? Double the consonant when it's between two vowels (travelling, labelling, gruelling, panelling).

            You Have Killed Me is no.3 in the Canadian charts. Although that means nothing as Canadians don't buy singles. Considering his tirade against Canada, no.41 isn't that bad!

            I only like 4 songs from it.
