Totally agree, but when you see how long Circus, Innocents and Wild were in the chart (and came back into the chart), you realise how successful the band was during that period! After I Say, everything changed and sales mostly driven by fans.

I think the chart success of 'The Circus' was helped and boosted by 'The Two Ring Circus'. My understanding has always been that as far as the charts were concerned, they were the same album. It would explain why there is never any specific chart positioning info about TTRC.

Basically I think the two versions of the album were counted as the same thing in the same way sales of the 7" and 12" editions of the same single were combined for chart purposes.
