We need to get it to chart again so that they'll stop saying that it was a 'failure'!

All You Need Is Now? I love Duran Duran, but that one lasted a mere handful of plays with me. had you said their overlooked masterpiece, Medazzaland, we could have done some business here.

I'm going to have to get my back on topic stick out! Feel free to take lifeblood discussion to a separate thread!

But nicky, why do you slag off so much manics stuff - is it any wonder your albums don't sell...

He never slags them off unless they don't sell though, if Lifeblood and SATT had traded places in sales figures we know which one would have been slagged off

we'll also need to work out from which UK stores us non-UK need to order from that will contribute to the charts - i am only aware of amazon and HMV at this stage, not sure on record store. i would imagine / assume iTunes Uk counts to the charts, yeah? i think there's a way to purchase iTunes UK from outside the UK, something to do with purchasing vouchers?

outstanding to all of those who have said yeah - for those who can't or won't join in with the buy drive, could i ask you to give consideration to plugging it (once only) via the social networks?

let me do some digging, then, and i guess this will warrant its own thread....
Good idea!

i am much bigger, you are probably better off hiding behind me. and i quite like this AK47 chap, so i am sure that me saying "she is not here" shall suffice and no unpleasantness shall follow.

unless someone plays a Manics song featuring the bass player singing.
