Happy to find Disco 4 at number 3 in the Dance album chart. A little bit sad for its poor performance in compilation chart. I'm sure that Integral released as single could enter in top40 with no problem.

Had iTunes and co made that available, I'm quite sure Integral would have been there or thereabouts as far as the top 40 is concerned. Only having the already available 12" mix and one remix to download was scandalous.

Err, no, sorry, I find it hard to believe one additional edit of a remix would make it fly from #197 into top 40... Perhaps somewhere around #120, but nowhere higher.

Number 3 is quite high, I like the Killers remix, can do without the Yoko remix.

If we think that Disco 4 is been released without promotion and a single is a good position. I think that the remixes of Killers, Madonna and Bowie are the highlights of this release. I'm starting to like even the new mix of Integral, but the 7''

I fully agree. The lack of the 7-inch mix is not a proper explanation for the extremely poor chart result of Integral. This whole Integral download-only single is easily one of the worst ideas ever. It ranks high in the list of most stupid mistakes regarding PSB releases.

Well, several of us on here were looking for the 7" mix and I know of others outside of this forum who were as well. Being previously unavailable I think it would have sold more than you think - maybe not enough to reach the top 40 but bearing in mind you only have to shift something like 3,500 units to get that high these days I don't think it would have missed out by that much.

I don't know why you're making such a fuss anyway. Integral was a low-profile release to complement a low-profile album. I doubt it will even be classified as a single bearing in mind that only a 12" mix and a separate remix of the track was actually made available. It's no big deal as far as I'm concerned.

PSB fans don't like download singles without any visual aesthetic. I'd have thought that was obvious. The updated edition of Catalogue FEATURING THE DOWNLOADS!!!!! won't be very interesting.
