Can't find any evidence of the US chart positions. The "Alternative New Artist Album" chart, the "Current Reggae Album" chart, the "Top New Artist Album" chart, the "Current Hard Music Album" and the "Independent Current Album" chart also don't exist. Looked on the Alternative Albums, Reggae Albums, Hard Rock Albums and Independent Albums charts published by Billboard at the time, no evidence of this charting.
