I gave up on the charts years ago. When I left school I realised that I liked 90% of the music was from an era before I was born. I've started collecting vinyl for the past five years to make matters worse.

Glad Wales won their first game, maybe if they get to the final (haha) the Manics will fly in and play before the game? Any way, don't care much about the football but will cheer on Wales just for the Manics and their song

Very nice: a sort of, kinda like, you need to squint a bit, number 1 single? I'll take it.
The majority of those sales must surely be nostalgic manics fans because what sane person would pay £4.99 with no proper bsides.

Good for the band and for the charities that may get a decent donation from the single's proceeds.

God that's depressing, you can top the physical chart without being in the top 100....

Still better than "The Day David Bowie Died" at number 6 by David J!
A song so shit it hasn't even got a video on YouTube, only a recording taped off the radio! Plus it sounds like a tribute to David Soul as opposed to Bowie. Not linking it as it could undo everything on the forum!

Number one in physical chart and with BBC Wales apparently using it as intro music to Welsh games hoping it can stick around for a little longer. I'm loving Bordeaux and so proud of the lads.
