Down to number 22 is very disappointing. Just hope that they choose the right second single. I wonder how Parlophone are feeling after putting such a concerted effort into this albums success. Lets hope the tour helps to keep the album in the top 75 for the rest of the year. Perhaps all the critical acclaim isn't enough any more. Shame really
...and I'm with stupid did not attract new fans with a chartrun of 8-23-47 and out...
Still i think that Fundamental woke up some old fans and it will be psb biggest seller since Billingual.

Why is it a problem? It wont ever happen. Thinking it will is stupidity. The album has sold far more copies than expected. It's already easily beaten the previous 2 albums' sales. Get a grip for god sake. PSB are a pop group who are still getting a top 5 album 21 years on.If it had charted at 22 in its first week, then there was cause for concern.Remember also, that it wasn't advertised on prime time t.v.
It's performed brilliantly all over Europe. Take comfort that it never charted at 102!!
