                    In the future when all's well,Morrissey will have himself a UK Number 1. (Who knows It could even be with the aforementioned song!) Here in the US it would be IMPOSSIBLE to get a single in the Top 100 with no airplay let alone the Top 3. Much like Irish Heart and even Alma Matters, Im not sure I agree with the choice for 1st single(FOTG and Satan rejected my soul I would have thought would be potential smash hits) Not withstanding, God bless Morrissey and hopefully he'll do some promotion and sing with his wonderful children's choir on telly next time for 'the Youngest' single ---The kids will give him a number 1 for sure!!! Cheers---Now let's at least give him a number 1 album in the UK and hopefully another first, a US Top 10 when the Ringleader arrives this week!

                    Given the airplay that other songs have received in the UK last week, this is an AMAZING achievement.

                    Several weeks ago, I wrote about knarls barclay in the messageboards, because the promotion that this song had received (from Zane Lowe and others at BBC R1 and TV) was unbelievable.

                    After all that, Morrissey arrived on the shores of the UK and knocked over most of the competition, like a general going into battle in Canada. I find it funny that the music world operates like a drugs cartel.

                    The album should do well, and with no westlife coming out next week, let's see what happens next.....

                    reached number one. With relatively low selling acts like Moz, it really depends on the competition unlike, say, Oasis who can get to number one any time. Moz can sell about 25,000-30,000 singles maximum in one week (Oasis can manage 100,000); there are a few weeks in the year when 25,000 will get you a number one such as two weeks ago but alas not this week.
                    YHKM is a nice song but not a classic. The chorus is subtle but the song is not hugely pleasing like First of the Gang or Everyday. It did quite well considering even Xfm hardly lpayed it. I've not ehard the album yet but if there are better songs on there, he should get a couple more top 10's but pretty much zero chance of a number 1.

And we're paying for the licence fee. The two presenters of the chart show need shooting, they are crass juveniles who can't even string a sentence together. Well done, Moz for getting in there at 3. That shut them up. They always have some snide comment about you.
