Little Boots got to No3 midweek with a 10,000 unit sale  I gathered.. It ended up No 5..   Thats the sort of numbers u need around this time of the Year... -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations. Back to top

My bet for Friday is the Ommadawn extract (well to be honest probabbly guilty) Back to top

SimonUK Group: Members Posts: 84 Joined: June 2006 Posted: June 22 2009, 04:56 It appears to be selling very well. A big jump up the charts this week.

3Wheeler Group: Members Posts: 828 Joined: Aug. 2007 Posted: June 22 2009, 05:49 Yeah bet a few were bought for "Fathers Day"...    It is great value for £9-50 though a Double Disc with the RE Mix..   If Only a reasonable proportion of people buy it  off the Back of "Spheres" & TB1 1st  release, it should top  3  in theory..   -------------- We're Flying Aeroflot, We've Got Reservations.

Ratty Group: Members Posts: 386 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: June 24 2009, 05:25 i know this will have been discussed before so i apologise if i am duplicating another thread but why does the collection cd only go upto 1983? Is there another collection cd coming out from 1984-present? Great news about TB shooting up in the charts this week. -------------- Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: June 25 2009, 04:23 I did think this myself when i bought it.Perhaps you're right about it as a first 10 years thing.To be brutally honest though after the Crises track his mainstream career tailed off a bit and he didn't really make much impact on the UK singles chart untill Sentinel which was on Warners. Bloody shame IMO cos there were some good singles like To France,Pictures In The Dark,Shine and Flying Start. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH. Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: July 08 2009, 07:00 It's on the stregnth of TB being one half of the set IMO but it's good to see that it can still get in the charts after all these years.Good music will always come through after all. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: July 08 2009, 07:54 I think you`re probably right Caveman.But partly becuase it was "father`s day week" I guess,I`m kind of perversely intrigued by the fact that it shot up in the charts after radio 2 played all those AOR type 80`s songs.You know for those not familiar with the sheer wide extent of Mike`s back catalogue,I would imagine there was a fair number of these little fella`s up and down the country...         Followed by.."Where`s my copy of The Best Air Guitar Album In The World Ever,that you bought for me last year"??
