Aside from the collectors and the lapsed/casual fans, I would imagine there will be plenty out there who still love the Manics, attend every tour, still listen to them, but have simply stopped buying physical copies of albums (by any artist) and don't care where they get in the charts.
I started noticing some friends getting rid of their music collections in favour of streaming and downloads over a decade ago, add to that those who don't have room in their homes or they have less disposable income, times have changed really. For me, it would be spending money I'd rather put towards other things, only to have a vinyl I never play gather dust on a shelf. These days I sell more than I buy.
