Phil is running / trundling around giving interviews in which he bleats that he can "only play the drums if someone sellotapes the sticks to his hands". he's gone all out for the sympathy purchases, would expect this to be #1, the best the Manics can hope for is #2.

Both SATT and JFPL sold 32-35K in their first week. PFAYM shouldn't do much worse, and hopefully reach 30 K. According to last weeks chart, that would put them at #5, but it could go as high as #2.

Oh, and it should be #1 in the midweeks today. But that doesn't mean it will stay there. Remember the pre-orders

Well i suppose Mr Collins had his own primetime TV slot last night for an hour showcasing his new album so you would place a good bet on it doing well this week with that kind of promotion.
Exactly. Why didn't the Manics have an 'Evening With' hosted by Ben Shepherd hmmm? Damn you Sony and your terrible marketing strategies!

Manic Street Preachers and Phil Collins with his Going Back set are both chasing their first UK number one album in 12 years with the Welsh band currently ahead by just a few thousand sales.

The Manics’ newly-issued Columbia album Postcards From A Young Man has sold around 17,000 units at this stage of the week, according to the OCC, with Phil Collins’ Atlantic album Going Back providing its biggest challenge. The Collins album, which debuted at four a week ago, has seen its sales increase this week by 80% after his For One Night show, featuring songs from Going Back, was broadcast last Saturday evening on ITV1. Phonogenic's The Script are third.

1000 copies ahead I'm not sure is enough. I'd imagine Collins will overtake by the weekend. MSP will probs me no. 2 or 3.

The older generations. Soft-voiced singer of their age doing covers of 60's soul hits? Surefire seller.
