New ways stayed on the charts for relatively, and surprisingly, a long time. 17 weeks. it also moved up and down. It entered at 165 which is a little lower than other Sup albums but not totally out of the ordinary. It then moved up to 80 after a couple weeks and crept to 73. then it dropped back into the 80s. then it perked back up and went to 68, then dropped to 69, then back to 68 and then down to 78. so it sort of yo-yo'd around. most every other album did a clear climb to whatever peak position and then slide down.
Guessing here but to have that type of chart movement, there must have been SOMETHING going on from a promotional standpoint. As if everyone agreed that was way too low of a charting and were trying to move it up higher. But eventually it just slide down and that was that.
Mag 7 entered lower - 198. then 193. then all the way to 127. but then it sort of got stuck. it crept up to 113 after a few weeks, then slid back into the 120s and then 130s. But then it too popped up and jumped to 117 during the same weeks that New Ways rebounded and got up to 68.
Clearly the release of the albums on top of one another hampered things
