At that time of night, I'd hazard a guess at around 500,000-800,000

Well Zeus's forum has 496 members, Lydia's has 929 and here there are 990. The total is 2415. Then taking into account duplicate memberships accross all sites and the fact that only a fraction of members would have been able to watch the show, I guess that about 100-150 people watched it.... :lol:

I'd say the documentary would have helped the greatest hits, rather than Fundamental. Although the documentary certainly wouldn't have done any damage to either.

I went in HMV today and the album is bang in front of you as you walk in. They also have PopArt directly underneath it.

I noticed a few people complaining about the sticker marking the Fundamentalism cd. Well, in Woolworths, they have the double cd in a thin, plastic case. If you take it to the counter, they give you the proper sleeve, minus the price sticker.
