I don't think anyone was really interested in these positions. Numb was never going to be top 40 and Concrete wasn't a big album that was even promoted.

The BBC like Numb. The snooker is on at the mo on BBC2 and they have just put together a small montage of the last weeks matches, while playing Numb.

That was one of the few genuinely funny sketches in That Mitchell and Webb Look.
Passion, love, sex, money, violence, religion, injustice and death. More on that story later.

Didn't the Pet Shop Boys "other" CD come out this week, too. Did that debut at number one, or is that totally assumed and a stupid question? I'm American, and Robbie's albums only come out here via Itunes now.

Ya sold crack to my sister, and now she's sick.
But if she happens to die, because of your drug;
Im puttin' in your culo, a .38 slug!

...but you can never be sure or else there would be no point to having a chart set at regular intervals,would there? - it aint over till the fat lady sings etc.- All results contribute to a long term pattern of potential hit making.

Where you so blaze when one of their #1s was expected to stay at the same position for another week - for a band that has had so much success in terms of chart placings to so belittle the value of chart placings now would be to devalue all their previous success in those terms imo ....you have to take the rough with the smooth its part of existence for (almost?) everyone is it not?......

Cant a major artist have a flop once in awhile?

Kust wait until Integral is released, if properly done it will be top 10.

I think the PSBs have only this to look forward to (flops I mean, not top 10 hits). I should imagine its all downhill from now - the majority just don't want to buy PSBs singles/albums, regardless of how good they are. :(
I rule. You don't.

Yes, Blobbie's number one this week with his lowest first week figures for a studio album since 1998.
147,236 copies of Rudebox were sold last week. Intensive Care opened with sales of 373,832.
The curse of PSB strikes again :!:
