It looks like Neon is out of the Top 100 UK Albums list. It's weird how an album can debut in the top 5 and just stay in the top 100 for two weeks.

Does anyone remember how Hotspot did? Was it also in the Top 100 for just two weeks?

I guess only the dedicated fans buy their albums.

Hotspot was three weeks on the charts: 3, 16, 44.

But Hotspot stayed for several weeks in the sales chart.

i still cant believe PSB has only 1 #1 album
Some of them were released the same week as huge albums as for example Bad, Rattle And Hum, and Rhymth Of The Saints (Paul Simon)
As far as I remember, when Actually was released, MJ's Bad was at number one or newly released and destined to be number one?

I sometimes feel sorry that Erasure never received their due for being such a great pop group in the late 80s/early 90s but comments like that are so preposterous that it does seem born of jealousy. No matter how good Erasure singles were, most critics always preferred PSB - and ultimately so did the public. And whereas PSB have evolved over the last few decades, Erasure seem precisely the same as they were in 1985 - only with worse lyrics.
Their biggest (and maybe only) asset over the Boys is Andy's voice. Apart from it and a greatest hits album, they have no charisma whatsoever. Interestingly I find Fingers and Thumbs way better than every other Erasure single and am actually quite fond of it . If their entire output was like that, I would be a big fan.
