Where Will Autumnsong Chart?

The same thing happened with YLAINE

No wonder certain singles stay at the top of the chart for weeks. It's the only single you can actually buy! I never even managed to get the last Jarvis single in the shops either. Or Brett Anderson's. So is it any wonder they don't chart well when the consumer can't find them?

My local Woolies have got the other main new physical releases - Timberland and Groove Armada but no Manics. Disgraceful.

It is very frustrating!
However this time round I've not bought any of the formats yet - I just don't seem to be bothered which is odd as I'm usually eager to get my hands on the b-sides and artwork etc.
Tbh I'm a little disappointed with AS being the second single - its one of the weaker tracks and when combined with YLAINE I don't think it gives the casual listener a true reflection of the album.

Will you not be buying the single at all then? Go on, you know you want to

lol I'm sure at some point I'll buy it but I've had no real desire to yet :s
I usually pre-order and also buy it in hmv/whatever as well as usually my order gets delayed and i get impatient
but this time I've not been bothered at all.... might pick it up in town on friday or saturday if I see it though

I think there will be a third single, but not sure about a fourth due to the changes in the industry since KYE - the KYE pointer though is that, it of course got 4 singles despite only selling quite well initially and then disappearing, though that was off the back of previous success.

Another two singles would be great though, if going by the current b-sides per single amount that would be 10 more songs - there were lots that they recorded for SATT, but I wonder how many of the b-sides released so far were from the album recording time, or recently recorded.

[live to fall asleep]

havn't bought them yet...i know they are not that expensive, but i have spent far too much money this month so it will have to wait until after pay day (only next wednesday, so not too bad really!)

Also, where i am working at the mo, just not near any shops so it's not easy to pick them up on the off chance that i would see them in a shop anyway.

Manics apparently up to number 3 today.

Unlikely it will get a fourth, then again if recordstore is to be believed it will be slightly strange that nothing will be out around the time of the tour.

Very few albums get four singles, looks like it will get a third, maybe some special ep will be out by the time of the tour.

"Any news on the Manics? I know the single is top 5 (probably #4), but are the album doing better?"

"Not 4, sorry
The album is back in the top 75 but not exactly rocketing"

So it's #5 at the moment. Guess it will reach top 10 at least then.

Who's buying that? It's about a minute long and, as far as being something you'd want to listen to in any other capacity than when watching the Simpsons Movie, quite shit.
