I'd release Some Kind Of Nothingness as the next single and then Golden Platitudes after it.

So to date the album has sold more or less 50,000 in the UK. I reckon it'll pass 60,000 in the next two weeks to get a silver sales disc. I reckon it'll be a while then before it creeps up to 100,000 to get a gold disc. Plague Lovers still hasn't gone gold yet has yet?

It's 37 on the HMV chart, which is an ugly drop. Oh well, despite their overambitious hopes, this was never going to hang around for the Xmas season, and with the release of Robbie Williams' latest compilation, I suppose that season is officially open.

It's neither the mass communicator nor the flop Nicky ended up hedging his bets with, it's fallen somewhere in the middle.

I think it's a little odd they have not announced the second single details yet, so the song will be on the radio, to help boost album sales.

I think sales will quickly drop now sadly. If they want to get a song out there to be heard and seen by masses then let SKON appear on a TV advert advertising something. No idea what but it'll be seen by millions easily. From #11 last weekend if it's gonna be around #30 that's quite a drop...be roughly about 4/5000 sales possibly?

I hope Czech Republic will keep the highest rank. It was #10 last week, it could have done even better this week! We'll see tommorow...
