There's a proof that Waiting for the Miracle is a special song for Russia exclusively.
(And that's how I fell in love with LC...)

In its 2nd week You Want It Darker keeps its place at #1 in Croatia. The official chart by HDU (Croatian Discography Union) available at http://www.hdu-toplista.com/

Note: The latest released chart is for week 24-30 October, so before Leonard's death. Also of notice that Live in London and The Essential are still on the list after so many years: London at #18 and Essential on #34. People keep buying those 2 albums so they drop off and return to the list constantly since mid-2000s.

Leonard Cohen could get his first song ever charting on the U.S. Billboard 100 Singles Chart this Thursday, maybe two -- Hallelujah and You Want It Darker.

Thanks for reporting, Tom! Just imagine, what if Israel had official charts...

By the way, LC is still the most popular artist (iTunes + streaming) in the world: http://kworb.net/itunes/
Earlier the margin was much bigger (see attachment).
