Hi Patrick,
The song *was* chart eligible but unfortunately, didn't manage to get into the top 300

That's incredible. I suppose it buries the old chestnut about PSB no longer having Radio 1 support once and for all. I reckon that using the name Mimo must have backfired too. Clearly the Erasure fans didn't know that Andy had a new single out, and without the backing of the legendary 'street team' it was doomed from the start. Now they should just get back to basics and release a lead single that sounds like La Roux for the new album, and they *must* let the fans know that it is Erasure.

I just listened to both songs on Spotify, they're not bad.

When they released Battleship Potemkin their chart position is been quite low, idem for their side project Closer To Heaven even if it was the original cast recording.
Anyway digital releases have low places in chart when they are from artists linked to a physical format fanbase lover, Integral arrived only @ 197, but lots of people seems to have few memory.
