Come on people, this is great! #3 isn't bad, and the sales of 38 314 is better than both JFPL and SATT

Let's hope it stays top 10 for another week or two, and that the next singles will keep it floating in the charts for a while. European sucess isn't that important really, loads of british bands have success in UK only

I hope they see that what they should do is to release good albums and not to use stings in every song.
Having a dislike for strings doesn't mean the album's bad, just because it's not to your tastes.

I hope it stays inside the top ten this week. If it doesn't, that will be very disappointing. More disappointing than not getting to number one. A better, stronger lead single and it would have made it to number one. And i do like It's Not War, just not as a lead single.

I haven't said that I didn't like strings.
my point was that I hoped they wouldn't release albums so much aimed to be successful anymore

I don't know if they actually have, but I should think they're rather disappointed given how much they (well Nicky at least anyway) wanted a number 1 and how close it was at the end of the week.

Meh - who gives a monkeys toss about the charts anyway? People wouldn't know good music these days if it came along and bit them on the arse. So there.

Well done to the lads for getting it as high as they did in this shit day and age.

Well done on the amount of sales guys! Only lost out because of a well known older musician and a bunch of young upstarts who have probably been hyped beyond belief. Hope it climbs up!
