The chart stats website entry for the band ends in 2011 with National Treasures, while the Official Chart Website ends in 2014.
I loved the mathematics of how many weeks. But if GSTM is being counted does their World Cup song break the silence between releases? Probably not. I liked the stats anyway. They stopped making Guinness books due to lack of interest some years ago. |

12 albums so far. 12 months in the year. Missing a trick not producing a calendar of album covers. Just saying s'all.

The international fans thread reminded me of something I've wondered about for a long time - how big a fan base did the band have in Thailand the time they did their notorious and traumatising (for them) tour of the country? And now?
It always struck me as very odd that the Manics could justify dates in Thailand of all places. Admittedly I know nothing about music consumption in Thailand but I wouldn't have imagined it was a key market for any British band in the early 1990s (in contrast to Japan, for example). |

In Nice? Gruissan not far. Yves Klein; blue epoch? Betty Blue?
And as for the cover.... thinking about Mishima books. Escape from your history? No exit ;-) |

I obviously expected something demand-based. Are the band still big in Thailand? |

The Convalescent kicks ass like ultra-high-energy gamma rays followed by gloomy Royal Correspondent. I guess you need some special mood for Know Your Enemy but when you are in that mood you just want to put KYE on a 24-hour repeat.

What a shock!
Typed in Google search "stay beautiful lyrics", it gave me all Taylor Swift. ⊙_⊙ |

Although I don't like her music, I'm not really a Taylor hater, but as famous as she is, the Manics are actually iconic, and Stay Beautiful is an actual classic that always used to appear on the first page of search results, so you can understand I was appalled when Taylor Swift was all I ever found and had to specifically type in "manic" additionally... u_u

I can't stand Taylor Swift. I find her control over her own image creepy....the level of emotional control and the way she manufactures perceptions of weakness to seem relatable. UGH!
