It might sound absurd but if you look respectively at Kings Of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and Daft Punk this is exactly what they did to survive in what has now become the music scene, and nobody said a word against it.

I'm not saying they MUST to do that crap, but it seems those are the tricks nowadays.
And get photographed wearing t-shirts with pyramids on them and covering one of their eyes with a hand. But that's for another thread of mine that was less successful than this one!

They could always have mid-life crises, leave their wives and tour America of course... and I mean tour it properly like they should have done from the start. They could even actually release the US Holy Bible cut and tour with joint album promotion, get on US adverts and in films.

Or maybe they're happy in Wales.

No.18 in 2nd week album update chart. Suprised actually as thought it might drop out of the top 40 in the second week.

That's almost amazing. It didn't drop from its midweek position and it's just about completely out of the picture on iTunes and Amazon.

That's pretty great for the second week, much higher than I expected. Though still less than it deserves!

Even though the drop is double figures... It's only in the ten below the top ten. Barely...
