Although anyone who follows sport would have predicted Britain had a good chance of winning medals in the rowing and cycling to be fair...not exactly an outside punt

Great days betting could become spectacular if we get gold or silver in mens 200m breaststoke tonight-olympics comes alive forGB!!xx

Cant believe how many record sales weve blown by turning down the olympic closing ceremony-x-our choice though!

Still todays spectacular betting makes up for it(a little)xx

Have a feeling its 18yrs since Revol graced the top40-something that could never happen in todays charts xx

One of richeys great lyrics-what a writer-still trying to unravel revols words now--GENIUS-xx

Solid chance of 2 golds on thursday-will be tough-worth a punt though xx

Yes, damn you. I could've convinced people you're actually a real band, I don't think they believe me!

Personally I've never thought Revol was one of his best, but now I'm tempted to go back to the Revol decoding that I started a while back... it just takes so much time.

How does one know how many records it would have been though? It's a Heisenbergian conundrum we shall never know the answer to!

Personally I think it would have been about 9,032 copies of A Design For Life and 1516 copies of National Treasures though. Approximately, and only if in America NBC didn't edit them out to get Ryan Seacrest's views on twinkie bars at the Olympics.

The Manics may have fared better on Canadian TV.

Nah, Nicky. The closing ceremony of the Olympics just wouldn't be your scene. That's how I feel about it anyway!

Don't go squandering all your cash Nicky!

They should have done it just for the fun of it. And to impress their children Idiots.

'tis the "Live Aid Factor". an accidental consequence of Live Aid was that every act who performed (bar one) saw the sales of all their back catalogue shoot up. the one who didn't was Adam Ant, who got fucked over by Bob Geldof - "yeah, Adam, we need space so we are cutting your time. yeah yeah, of course we are doing it to other acts (bullshit). just do your latest single that is what everyone else is doing (bullshit)".

as much as these Rock stars like saving fucking whales and feeding the poor, etc, playing these big events makes them an awful lot of money.

it will be interesting to see next week exactly how many more records and iTunes Macca and Co have shifted this week. i would hope and expect that Chariots of Fire got a bit of a sales boost too.

The Manics don't do fun, according to the Daily Mail anyway!

Frank Turner has easily the fastest rise in sales of any artist this week apparently.

The Arctic's version of Come Together is heading for the top 10 and I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor is heading back for the top 40.

It certianly hasn'tt been negative for those involved in the ceremony!
