Loving It More & More

Really nice review that. Not hysterical or anything just giving their point of view as a fan that obviously prefers the more melodic pop stuff.

Not listened to it for a few days... until this morning! It cancelled out the FD negativity over the weekend.

anyway listening to the bootleg, if the title track had been the lead single i for one would be a lot more positive about things.

There is hope yet!

I really really like it!
The chorus got stuck in my head right after the first listen. It is quite catchy!

Jins · #**637** 10-08-2010, 09:30

The strings are glorious and surprisingly at the front of the mix.

Alt.Duck · #**638** 12-09-2010, 07:15

It has definitely grown on me.

I also think that its selection to be the lead off single has been justified.

Hmm.. i can't see the Manics having a big following who are in to downloading their music in a big way which is what all the big hits require these days.
I think the midweek position will be very positive, number 5 I reckon but by the end of the week will drop to about number 18 as final position.
The second week it will be out the top 75 altogether.

They did when YLAINE was released, which was a single deserving of the status. IIRC it even managed the astonishing feat of holding its previous week's position while in the top 20 around the third or fourth week. A first and last for a Manics single, surely.

You are indeed correct. It entered at #26 on downloads alone a week before the physical release.

chart run:

26-2-8-16-16-27-33-44-68-67 out | re-entry 93-95 out.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup · #**642** 12-09-2010, 14:02

Up to 66 on itunes!

The Gutless Wonder · #**643** 12-09-2010, 17:01

Hoping filmbuffs will give it a go. 'Michael Sheen and Anna Friel are in the vid!!!!!!!!!!!!'

Bunnymen fans might buy it by accident.

I doubt that.

I can't tell who they hate more, the Manics or Mac. See, FD ain't so bad.
