The Wildhearts

In todays Sun newspaper, The Wildhearts got a 5 out of 5 rating and "rock" album of the year (probably).

An interview is coming soon apparently.

They seem to have a big fan at the Sun. Ginger's solo albums also got rave reviews.

I only checked the paper briefly in the newsagent, but I'm sure it got 5 out of 5. Not the 4 stars on the online version.

Gavin Martin is the bloke who reviews them by the way, and he never gives rock a great review, just barely gives it the time of day

In any week other than one that had a Wildhearts album released, I think I'd entirely concur with that verdict. Arctic Monkeys are ace and the new album is top.

The Sun is a joke. Nice for the kind words on the band.

Yup - a joke shared by 7-8million readers. It's also the UK's most visited website.

I'd love to know where that came from?

The only list I can find says it's the BBC.

The Spice Girls sold more than 30 million albums. That doesn't mean they were good.

Well fuck me, I'm not here to defend the company I work for.
I mention numbers only to point out the potential audience for a positive 'Hearts review - a prospect that excites me as a fan anyway.

As for the website stats, fair enough. It was something I heard but maybe it was just one day or summat. It's certainly up there.
