cool!

Yeah but nowhere to be seen in the official top 40 though. Dissapointing really. If talent counted for anything they'd be number 1.

since when did talent count for anything in the music industry?

i think because they split the release it was bound to happen. The album got into the top 20 on itunes when it came out, and then hit top 20 on rock and indie charts.

i think perhaps if it had been done together they may well have just tucked inside the main top 40.

any who..

We should have a campaign to make sure whatever the next single is we get it in the top ten! a bit like what they did for john ottway a few years back with that awful bunsen burner song

I know that it's selling well enough that my order from Amazon has been delayed.

Hasn't done too well at the shop where I work. Did about 7 copies the first week. I think cos a) a lot of people already have it, and b) it's a covers album full of fairly obscure songs, so not quite as appealing as the self titled album was, which sold really well and charted nicely. If it had been a new actual wildhearts album I reckon it'd probably outsell TW cos of the positive publicity of the last few months and the Download appearance.

HMV in Belfast have it as a 'must buy' and a featured album..

GLAD TO SEE!
