On Wikipedia TIMTTMY Charts & Certifications Sections it
says the album was Number 1!.
Does this mean it was the best selling album in Europe in
1998?...seems like that..that would be a great great
achievement if true..

It was the top selling album in Europe for a week, not a year unfortunately

Aaaahhhh... The good old days...
I remember when Tollerate could have been heard every now and then, every here and there on TV, radio and from local shops while passing by...
That's my earliest Manics memory too.

Tolerate got so much AirPlay In Ireland and this album sold very well so it is indeed a great memory..although my earliest manics memory was seeing Motorcycle Emptiness video on TV and being basically stunned at how good it was

Meh, I was only 3 year old when Motorcycle came out. Couldn't have possibly remembered that.

There's a delirium-on-helium interview where Nicky twangs a plastic ruler across the table that the 10th Anniversary of the album didn't happen, because they didn't get started on it until it was too late. Like having the years count down to 2008 just passed them by!

Under Neon Loneliness,Motorcycle Emptiness is a bit of a mouthful for most adults never mind 3 year olds

Quite funny the first time I heard the song I thought the chorus was in Latin which I thought was unbelievably cool!..kinda funny looking back on it now though

Ahaha! That just makes me wanna hear the orchestral version remade in its ancient latin translation...

He seemed really annoyed that it didn't happen, hoping for a 20th.
