I hope Jools Holland helps the album...and I hope Did you see me coming?? helps too.
The fanbase can only take this single so far though.Most recently, Minimal sold around 5000 copies less (first week) than I'm with stupid. If Did you see me coming?? follows the same second single trajectory, it will chart around #25-30 (based on current singles sales).

It's 'Make your mind up time'!

U2 have been shit for a while, the general public are just catching up with those of us who know it.
