  "Then
And Now" has dropped down to no. 57 on the official album charts
of the UK as of December 2, two months after the album was released. I
know this is a big disappointment to many fans, but we have to remember
that the album has sold to gold, and it peaked at no. 5 on the charts only
three weeks after it was released. This is not bad at all thinking of the
fact it has been 15 years since David released an album in the UK.
10 weeks since its release, on December 9, "Then and Now" was at no. 63. This is still better than Mick Jagger's solo album that was released only a couple of weeks ago. On December 16, David's album has climbed one spot, to no. 62, so he seems to be under some of those Christmas trees this year. On the day before Christmas, on December 23, "Then And Now" was at no. 64. Unfortunately we have to say, on December 30, the album dropped out of the official UK charts. Hopefully it will re-enter soon. New concert posted:
