FOTG A-listed on Radio 2, HMV review
posted by davidt on Friday July 09 2004, @08:00AM

 John, England writes:

The unthinkable has happened. A Morrissey song has been A-listed on the UK's most listened-to station (Radio 2)!
It was single of the week a few weeks back, then made it to the B list and has now been added to the A list.

The single also gets the following review on the HMV website:

Probably the best song on Morrissey’s mighty comeback record, ‘First Of The Gang To Die’ is a majestic slice of indie-pop that recalls much of his earlier, highly regarded, solo work. Detailing the life (and death) of anti-hero Hector and his role in Mexican youth culture, this is a sophisticated track featuring an insistent tune and provocative lyric that proves that the mighty Moz is back to his magnificent best. Genius.

    What does that mean A-list, B-list? (Score:1)
    Not being a UK'er I don't know the significance.

    Radio 2 airplay doesn't seem to have a huge impact on record sales. Bill and Sebastian, and Divine Comedy recently got A-listed and their singles did pretty badly...

    ...if it gets into the top 10. The last time Moz had two singles from one album in the top 10 was in 1988... The only time too.
