FOTGTD number 3 in midweek charts

Looks like Morrissey is on course to repeat the top 5 success of Irish Blood English Heart by racing into the top 5 in the UK this Sunday, The single is currently number 3 in the midweek charts but as both IBEH and You Are the Quarry dropped a place between the midweek charts and the official Sunday charts I wouldnt be too surprised to see FOTGTD doing the same, still a top 5 showing would be an amazing performance for a 2nd single off an album (this never usually happens for none bubblegum acts, even the likes of Coldplay, U2 dont do this!) and Im guessing must be down (to in a small part at least) to the DVD single having some live footage from the MEN gig, which of course would bode well for any future DVD realise of the homecoming gig. Lets hope the success of FOTGTD and the airplay it will get as a result will help shift a few more albums too.

Still no sign of it in Ireland... (Score:0)

Holy God Almighty, what does a man have to do get his greasy hands on a copy of the damn thing! It's Friday & it still hasn't made it to the shops!

Anyone spotted it anywhere in & around the centre of Dublin?

This is huge...I wish he'd make a sweep of US Late Night talk shows in addition to Kilborn...and perhaps a full hour dissecting Morrissey and The Smiths on...Oprah!

Keane's first two singles made number 4. (Score:1)

And the album has gone double platinum (600.000).
YATQ also spawns 2 top 5 singles and has only shifted 150.000 or so, which means that with decent airplay (Radio 1) it could have sold a lot more. But unfortunately, daytime radio still refuses to play Moz...

No. 92 (Score:1)

To be honest, I'd be writhing in ecstasy if FOTGTD made the Top 10 - if it goes Top 5 it'll be the beginning of life! I was expecting No. 16 or something, with a swift decline thereafter... This is good.

Neither one particularly appeals to me...
this could be good news for the album next week (Score:1)

Generally, when an artist already has an album out, and then has a high charting single taken from it, there tends to be a slight surge in sales for the album the following week. I'm guessing the chart climbing that the album's doing this week is as a direct result of airplay for the single, so long may that continue.

Also, something that I've not seen people comment on is the fairly obvious point that this almost certainly guarantees that Sanctuary will release a 3rd single off YATQ. Daddy's Voice and No-one Can Hold A Candle To You as B-sides, anyone?

Well I will must certainly be buying the single for a second time, due to the fact that some bastard nicked by Car CD player. Which had FOTGTD in. Will also have to buy several more moz/smiths cds which were taken from the glove box. At least whoever stole them had good taste.
