From DDY"s site:

"A big thank you to all of the Canadian fans for making the Blu-Ray version of DENNIS DEYOUNG AND THE MUSIC OF STYX LIVE IN LOS ANGELES the #1 selling music video in Canada! This is the first #1 in Canada for Dennis, so again, THANK YOU to the fans for the support!"

Nice to see that even at this point in his career he is able to achieve such things.

That's AWESOME, I am very happy for Dennis , his band and his inner circle.

What should also be noted is that this blue ray knocked off Helen Reddy's 'I Am Woman Tour 2014' Blue Ray that had been sitting #1 in Canada for the last 14 weeks.

Another article on Dennis's CD/DVD hitting #1.

very cool!

Picked it up Saturday night @ Hastings in Longview,TX. GREAT purchase!!

I am so happy he ended the Best Of Times with AD 1958. I use to love how that album flowed.

It may be a long long time til I view the video but I will be playing the heck out of the CD's.

GREAT job Dennis! His band sounds truly awesome. No way you could tell by listening that they were not 1980 Styx.

Interested to see how many copies sold in Quebec compared to the rest of Canada. That alone could have put it to #1 on the video charts. As well how many were sold online compared to actual purchases. Why you may ask? The only physical "Store" in Canada that carries copies of this Blu Ray/CD is HMV. None of the other major music retailers in Canada - Walmart, Future Shop or Best Buy carry it. Either online or in their stores.

Now the next big hurdle for Dennis - can it go GOLD in Canada? DVD sales are 5,000 copies, CD/digital downloads are 40,000.

I'm thinking with his nine shows in Quebec this December, he just might have a another award on his wall. Which he hasn't received since the people of Quebec gave him a Gold CD (50,000 copies) and a Triple Platinum DVD for his Live with a Symphony Orchestra. Yes, I know they say "Canadian" but let's face it, they love him and Styx in Quebec still!

I think no matter how you slice it, it's pretty amazing for an artist like DDY to achieve this at this point and and time. Also I would think that Canadians are just like the rest of the world and now buy this kind of thing online more then at retail locations.

Jan 16, 2015 in Richardson TX, I'm there with my family. Looks like a great place for a concert. Listening to these CD's, I'm sold.

If this was Styx doing this, some would be going "Oh, well, it's only in Canada, who cares?".

It's pretty darned cool whoever it is.

What's really cool is that since its Canada you can also purchase it in an 8 track- Beta format.

I thought it was 16mm HD Reel to Reel.

It seems you must be misinformed, they are releasing it on that new format 78 RPM discs!
