I think we need to start a salacious rumour about Phil, put people off buying his album (although the music on it should have been enough already)

It's a shit album full of covers - isn't that enough?

It's very high in a lot of places overall - top 3 is a certain, surely. Come on #1 for the Manics! Yay! I'll celebrate if they do it!

A bit of promotion and airplay would help! I would have no idea the album existed if it wasn't for the forum!

Although I was impressed going into my local recordstore yesterday and finding they had a whole big stack of them - so Sony must have been expecting someone to buy it

He's a good friend of Gary Glitter?

Are some people starting to like it more since they heard the chart position? Hmm....

Don't be silly! If it missed the top 40, then it might be cool to like it.

Those who have been in and bought it from HMV - how much were they selling the normal and deluxe version? My mate is thinking of getting a copy and I'm not up for sharing mine. Cheers

Not being silly. Just seemed like it was growing in popularity since the early chart position was mentioned that's all.

Yes it is at #1 in the Midweeks. just ahead of Phil Collins

Ah, fair enough. Manics fans don't like "mass communication" though, they like "culture, alienation, boredom and despair".

15000 in one day is a very good sign no?

lovesean4ever · #**2759** 21-09-2010, 10:29

well but most of the sales would be from people on here and loads have ordered differnt formats too so that would have helped push it up!

The regular's editions 9,99. Can't remember the deluxe version - I only passed by HMV on my way to buy it elsewhere and saw the stand through the doorway.
