Kim Larsen is dead, but his music certainly is not.
the Musician has never actually had greater success on the album list than right now, on the current barometer of the most popular plates in Denmark, he has all the nine releases in the Top 10, which is a historic achievement.
This beats Kim Larsen its own record from last week, where he occupied eight of the ten top spots.
Legend also has 15 slices on the Top 40, which include streams as well as physical and digital sales in the period 5. 11. October.
Who is Kim Larsen or Gasolin’ on the list’s first eight seats. The very top is the kingdom’s best-selling album ever, ‘in the Middle of the night’, which since 1983 has devoted more than 650.000 times in Denmark.
35 years after ’the Middle of the night’ was released, it takes the classic its 24. week on listetinden.
The only album in the Top 10, as Kim Larsen do not sing on, is the rapper Post Malones ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys’, which is the number 9.

Last week went to Tina Dickow directly into 1. the square with the ‘Mainland’, which already falls all the way down at number 28.
Next Wednesday is expected Medinas new ‘Ugly’ to make his mark on the album list.
Singlecharten is still dominated supremely by Lukas graham’s ‘Love Someone’, which for the fifth week in a row is number 1.
the Trio destroys may shoal the coming week, where their new album, ‘Not a Damn Thing Changed’, will undoubtedly interfere in the top.
Both ‘Love Someone’ and ‘Not a Damn Thing Changed’ is Lukas graham’s ‘3 (The Purple Album)’, released 26. October.
Kim Larsen spreads also on the week singleliste. He takes up two spots in the Top 10 and 13 in the Top 40.

Jens Chr. Jensen, Pladekisten, Jægersborggade in Aarhus:
– We do not demand such a massive degree. No more than usual. Of course, there is a little more random, coming in and asking for Kim Larsen, but the rankings must be due to downloads, not physical sales, because there are not many titles you can buy in the trade.
– Not so many titles … What do you mean?
– Yes, but it does not help anything, if not they are in the trade from the record companies. And it is not yet arrived.
– What about the vinyls?
– There are some vinyls, but there will always be sales in the. Collectors of Gasolin’/Kim Larsen have to have them, regardless of whether he was dead or not. They just got some pieces out, that you haven’t before have been able to buy on lp, and it makes the sit, but it has nothing to with his death to make.
– That comes when customers and will have a cd with it and the number, but it does not help when we can’t get the plate. I think ’Middle of the night’ on the cd just arrived in stock now, but it can’t count for this week’s chart. It can downloads, and lp-sale, on the contrary, for it has been out on vinyl a year’s time. The plate still sells in great style. Funny enough, when it already has sold so much.
– What do you sell most of?
– On vinyl is it’s Disguised as an adult’, ’Middle of the night’ and ’Kielgasten’. And then there are many pre-orders on the ’It was a Thursday evening’, which comes to november.
– However, many advanced in years will have a Larsen on the cd, and we have not been able to deliver sufficiently. But we are stripped of it, we have had.
Christoffer Jørgensen, Accord, Vesterbrogade in Copenhagen:
– We have sold out of most of Kim Larsen. It applies to the cds, and vinyl, we have only a few pieces left of his English language records, which are not so popular.
– The Danish albums like ’in the Middle of the night’ and ’go Ahead’ is completely smoked. It is especially the classical Larsen-things that customers ask for, but also the newer albums like ’It was a Saturday night’, people are interested in. Also his latest album, ‘East of Devotion’, is out of stock.
– Have you experienced such an interest before?
It was the same as David Bowie died. Otherwise, I think not, it has been so wild. Leonard cohen’s death, we could also notice, but there was now not the same pressure as there is now with the Larsen.
– Then In the well have no home to julehandelen?
I just think it is important to have as much on the shelves as we can get fingers in.
– What about the Gasolin’?
– Those are a little less sales in the. We still have something left. Gasolin’ is also selling well, but not as much as Kim Larsen.
