Anyone fear that that it won't now sell a single copy over 17,000? I reckon by the weekend it'll be about 22,000-ish...be a #2 or even #3 album And probably slide down quick as nobody else will buy it hardly althugh hopefully the tour will make a few people go out and buy it.

We can beat Phil Collins! Are we mice or are we Manics fans?

Phil Collins will not make me cry.

Phil Collins may make me want to shred a few CDs.

I might go buy a copy of the standard CD as an early birthday present for a friend.

If everyone buys another copy for a present or a friend we might be in with a chance!

This may have been asked already but does the Amazon £3.99 and the £2.99 MFLOW downloads count towards the chart? If so I'll get downloading (legally)

A colleague I could have got a copy for has left unexpectedly. Ah well, I'm sure I can think of someone else!

I thought Phil Collins had quietly retired from the music biz? I still remember his video with all those Spitting Image puppets - horrible!

I'm sure the short-term cheap price is part of the intention of getting it high up the charts.

The short-term cheap price is a way to battle iTunes.

It is interesting that everyone assumed the 17,000 on the first day were all pre-orders. I was of the same opinion until I realised that Postcards was not even in the top 5 of the pre-ordered albums chart (apparently, a real chart) until the week before it was released (reached #5).

When SATT was released it was in the Pre-Ordered albums chart top 5 for about five weeks.
