nifty, but presumably includes the pre-orders? it needs more people walking into stores and buying it, in particular if yet another bloody painter takes a fancy to the current Mrs Collins and the tabloids run with it.....

I believe pre-orders count as first-day sales.

Yeah, they do. That's why they like to put albums on pre-order long in advance - to build up weeks worth of sales that help with the first week placing.

I can't think, and I can't paint, I can't love!
And no one will, for money makes us up
