I still think they'll not have a physical single and just have the track to download? Just to fuck to with my day! I love the 2CD format as much as anyone else... but I'll believe it when I see it.

Wouldn't surprise me if the album and first single went top five. Gotta say, I fucking loved seeing the Journal vinyl on the top shelf next to Green Day and Eminem went that came out.

[Joe-eh]

I think the album will come in at Number 1, possibly Number 2 depending on the competition.
The single won't be number one, probably 2-3, depends how good it actually is. The other singles won't go higher than 6 or 7, dropping to much lower the next week. (Oh, and only 3 singles )

[The Gutless Wonder]

I WANT 4 SINGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Or else!)

[JPizzle]

Puff Daddy, P Diddy, Sean John or Diddy has his new band's album out the week before I think, and I can see that easily going ahead really.

[tuckedaway]

Little hard to predict when we haven't heard any songs yet, isn't it?
I'm sure they'll make the top 5 though. Guessing #2 but it depends what they're up against.

[BrianPowell]

It's always down to the 'competition'.
If some shithead like p diddy or eminem release an album they're always going to come out on top.
I'd like to think Number 1 or 2.

They won't get to four because they schedule the releases in the tired old fashion of old and Sony will be bored by the second one.

They should release more than one single before the album. One in July and one in September. They kinda did that with SATT, except everyone on the radio (apart from Phil Jupitus) refused to acknowledge the existence of Underdogs. And quite rightly.

[franny]

4 singles is annoying, you hear singles too much on the radio and then get tempted to skip them on the album meaning you don't get the full albumy experience. 3 is a good number.

[nocultureicons]

Ideally I'd like one chart-eligible single, perhaps download and 7" only with one bside and then a mini album with a song from the album as a lead track and any others recorded during the sessions as bsides.
