Tour Sells Albums

Elton's announcement of FAREWELL YELLOW BRICK ROAD concert tickets in the UK had a direct impact on his album sales:

DIAMONDS jumped up dramatically the past two weeks and is now at #29 on the UK Top 100 Album Chart (November 23, 2018).  GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD which hasn't been on the chart for a long time jumped back into the Top 100 at #83. Impressive considering that the concerts are still a long way off.

We'll see if "Step Into Christmas" returns to the charts as it did last December.  A holiday favourite.

Elton should release Skyline Pigeon as a single from Diamonds, Nice addition for that album.

Isn't it amazing the reaction Elton gets when he plays "Skyline Pigeon" live in Brazil?  Saw him do it at my first EJ concert (with Ray Cooper) in 1979.  I would love to hear "Empty Sky" in concert but it appears that won't happen...

Hi Doug, Yea Empty Sky would be cool to hear live. I wish he'd do a show with a bunch of rare gems we haven't heard in a while. The 60th anniversary show was kind of like that.......Jim

DIAMONDS:

Climbs from #29 to #26 on the UK Top 100 Album Charts for November 30, 2018.
