RPO currently #1 on the Caymen Islands on iTunes

Cayman Islands iTunes Top Albums

Granted it's the Cayman's, but to look at that list and see the RPO album on top of names like Adele, Beyonce' and Drake...just wow.

Considering that the population of the Caymen Islands is just over 65,000, how many sales would it take to be #1 on iTunes there?

I’ve not seen anything posted here about ‘Christmas Portrait’ charting over the holidays. Any word on that?

It charted for 2 weeks.
Not very high either.
Maybe #150 in the second week?
I was dissapointed.
Also, in the Phila. area there was very little Carpenters airplay.
Not sure why.
