Paul Sexton from Billboard.biz is reporting:
GUNS N' ROSES soars to the top of the new European Top 100 Albums survey with Chinese Democracy (Black Frog/Geffen/Universal). Democracy races 36-1 after making a series of notable debuts in European markets. That includes only one No. 1 debut, in Switzerland, but the album secures a second week at the helm in Finland and debuts at No.2 in the United Kingdom (on 119,000 sales) and Germany, No. 3 in Italy, Austria and Ireland, No. 4 in Holland, Sweden and Hungary and No. 9 in Portugal. The comeback release also climbs 5-2 in Norway and 26-10 in France.
