Yeah! Being Boring was the 'worse' new entry at No.36 rising to 20, then down to 26.jyllinge wrote:No #24 according to http://www.polyhex.com/music/chartruns/chartruns.php so it is not the worst.

And there were 2 more singles released after Being Boring! (Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you)/How can you expect to be taken seriously?? and Jealousy)... so maybe we will get INTEGRAL AFTER ALL! (please please please!)

Oh well, PSB are not perfect, they cant be top 10 all the time. Its only a snag in a career which I am sure everyone gets over. Intergral single number four will be at leats a top 10.
Weird al's 4th album Polka Party bombed only did 177th on the charts, he bounced back with a 27 on the charts, then UHF bombed at 146 bounced back with Off the deep end at 17. Now his latest album charted at 10 making his highest charted (1 in New zealand), and he's 47 years old!!!
Things happend to every good artist and they tend to bounce back. Hang in there.

Slightly disappointed with #23 but hey, what can you do.
If you look at http://www.everyhit.com/ even New Order have had more singles fail to hit the top 20 so we shouldn't be complaining.

Of course "aquí" is correct, I know it, I'm from Spain. But on the original lyrics and the promos, it was wrongly mentioned as "acqui". I found it so funny that I still write the lyrics like this.lucienchardon wrote:Actually aqui is correct, not acqui.Lleonard Pler wrote:To be more precise, "Hay una discoteca por acqui".Janet Street-Porter wrote: Hay una discoteca por aqui?

I think realistically this is the best we can expect. When was the last time a PSBs single climbed or even managed to stay at the same place the following week?
The problem is, 99% of people who buy PSBs singles are fans. However good we think a single is, everyone else is dismissing the single purely because its by the PSBs. I can't see how this is going to change.

I love the idea, actually. After All could a perfect double A-side to both Integral and Fugitive. The theme of After All fits both Integral and Fugitive very well.Phillip wrote:Yeah, After All b-side remix.Remark wrote:And there were 2 more singles released after Being Boring!

How about a 4-track 'war/terror' related EP?
1: After All (2006 radio edit)
2: Integral (Jacques Le Cont 7-inch mix)
3: Fugitive (Richard X 7-inch mix)
4: DJ Culture (Röyksopp 2006 remix)
LOL.... - in your dreams....

It's Jacques Lu Cont btw
I still don't get peoples fascination with wanting double a-sides. Give me brand new songs any day! In private was an exception, it was released as a remix before. Fugitive is the original version on Fundamentalism so I don't see any need for it to be released as an edit on a single.

I think people's fascination with double A-sides comes from those people wanting to see as many PSB tracks released on single as possible. People generally love Fugitive and think it has commercial potential; that's why they want it to be released on single.

OK.... fair enough.... I was the one who pointed out that Minimal was their 20th Top 20 hit in a row, after the rather disappointing #19 entry, but do you *really* think that selling only 6.000 copies is 'well done' ??psblogan wrote:Well done Boys!!!

There's a thin line between being positive and overdoing it...

well, it's better than I'd expected but NOT better than I'd hoped ... fingers crossed though.
