Chart positions
editThe album was sold exclusively at ICA retail stores, bringing money to the World Childhood Foundation, and therefore the album was ineligible to chart upon first release.[3] Despite not being eligible to chart, Välkommen hem sold over 160,000 copies, and was certified 4× Platinum.[4] In 2019, the album charted for the first time, reaching number 13 on the Swedish Albums Chart.[5]
