The album is at #4 on HMV chart and is now priced at £6.99!!! Sure it was £8.99 a few days ago. It's still #1 on the Amazon download (has been all week), #2 on the Amazon CD chart, and #3 on PLay.com. It's doing well everywhere it seems!
Next week it'll be interesting to see how it compares to this week.

It scares me that this had to be clarified!

Hey, if it translates into sales then that's cool, plus more sales on a Saturday.

Yesterday Postcards From A Young Man had sold 10% more than Phil Collins.
That sounds quite comfortable.

Manic Street Preachers' tenth studio album Postcards From A Young Man was released on Monday in a flurry of amazing reviews. It's very close at the top of the album chart (very VERY close) so if you would like to help the guys to #1, please get your copy of the album from any of the links below. If you've already bought one (thank you) - tell your friends and family to buy one too!

And any further news on how well FD is selling off the back of PFAYM?
Are we looking at FD going top 20 this week as well?
I'm glad to see it back on the chart, but wish it was LT.
So much for a non-FD setlist on the tour then!

No chance. It doesn't seem to be doing much online anywhere other than iTunes. At best it will scrape into the top 100, which will still be cool, even though those edits make it an awful introduction.
