When you consider how much singles he released in the 90s, including non-album singles. Only 4 of them made the top 20. Since the release of ‘Quarry’ he has more than double that. All 9 single of his latest singles have made it.
I think as long as he doesn’t take another 7 year break and continues to release new material on a regular bases then I think he’s just going to become more popular. I think he’s guaranteed a top 20 hits for the rest of his career. That’s just how obsessed…I mean loyal we all are

Let’s just reflect for a moment.
During the limbo period after ‘Maladjusted’, the High Court Case and the later struggle to find a decent record deal: How astonishing would the scenario of this ‘Greatest Hits’ collection have seemed?
If it had been posted here as a ‘spoof’, the only bizarre thing would have been how brilliantly Morrissey-esque the song titles were. It would have seemed unlikely, to put it mildly. Except, perhaps, to Morrissey!
Morrissey has always been clear that he wanted access to a ‘mass’ audience, and did not wish to end up marooned in indie cult-dom, printing CD’s in his garage for his ‘devoted fans’.
He’s also open about how he finds the professional efforts of a major record company ‘push’ exhilarating and uplifting.
This package is to establish him as part of the Decca roster, and for Merck to test out the marketing and P.R teams at the new label. For the label, it’s a good way of raising Morrissey’s profile for the ‘big push’ later this year for an album of completely new material. In business, it’s called a ‘win-win’ situation.
And no Artist finds a Mass Audience without getting their hands mucky with Business.
Whether it’s the patronage of a Pope or the ‘Works For Hire’ servitude of a Big Music record contract. There’s no other way, unless you just want to set up a My-Waste-Of-Space page hoping you won’t just get lost in the swarm.
I’m delighted he’s found a new audience with his career resurrection, and I think the best may yet be to come.
For anyone hoping for a Rhino Records type box-set of obscurities from his solo career: You’ll just have to wait. He’s too busy moving forward to ‘the next episode’ to dwell on past glories.
How amazing is that in 2008? And how many people who admire him are genuinely pleased that he found his way to this place of resurgent ambition and record company backing? I am.
There’s a brilliant post on this thread which really bangs the nails into the coffin of this ‘debate’. It’s so good I’ll re-quote it in full:
‘How much does he have?
When he's finished paying taxes, his band, his record company costs, his crew and security, his living costs whilst touring, studio costs whilst recording and royalties to his co-songwriters, plus helping out his family and the court costs of yesteryear and forthcoming. I'll bet it's not as much as people think. Artists make very little from recording, that's why they tour so much.
Yes, he's very well off, but it's keeping him in the manner that befits someone who otherwise would have all sorts of nutters camping out in their garden, and then life's luxuries (which we all need) come on top of those costs. I don't begrudge the man a penny, because if fame and constant touring is the price you have to pay for that kind of wealth then he can keep it. Just because he enjoys the simultaneous loneliness and worldwide adoration that fame and fortune brings and he hasn't gone the way of Britney Spears, doesn't mean he shouldn't be paid for the privilege of doing his job. If he starts charging £20 per album and £50 per gig, then maybe I'd agree with you, but right now, he's doing the same as almost everyone else in music; where's the crime?’

Thanks for that, Mozzersgirl.
Morrissey could easily charge £100 per gig if he wanted to 'fleece' his Audience. There's lots of 'Artists' who are out to milk the cash cow. Morrissey is not one of them.
He also travels to wonderfully remote venues so that people with limited resources don't have to damage their carbon footprint by travelling to a megalopolis to enjoy the show.
The song ‘We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful’ describes most of the ‘fans’ on this ‘appreciation forum’.

In all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane - Oscar Wilde.
I have the simplest of tastes, I am always satisfied with the best - Oscar Wilde.
Hence, the word best which is like Greatest Hits, sort of - maybe. Best of, Greatest Hits - what the hell difference does it make. Any and all songs Morrissey releases are beautiful. Including, but not limited to Morrissey’s Greatest Hits. His burning desire to carry on - his visions (even like Princess Diana), insight, voice, everything --- you are all just, just jealous.
It’s daunting. You people rip him regarding his desires to go to Iran, Jerusalem, anywhere. Regarding Canada- Can-ha, ha. They club baby seals - do you understand - they literally club baby seals and you expect him to go there-you’re all mad. If you want to see Morrissey, get on an airplane, quit whining-shut up already.
You are like bugs. How many Greatest Hits do you think artists, as talented as Morrissey has-has in the scheme of things. This redundant banter regarding this topic is ridiculous. It bore no connection to his “new record”, his “new record”, the term “Greatest Hits”--A flashback to Rod Serling, Rod said regarding one of his genius Twilight Zones, on the bridge of a British Ship, “A sailor asked for a pot of tea because he thought it’s constitutionally acceptable in the British Navy to drink tea.” One of the sponsors made him change “tea” to “tray”. Another flashback to the “ENEMY”. Apparently Mr. Cunter didn’t have his shoelaces wrapped too tightly.
Right-so you get the point. Or is it just that some of you “fans” are just like decorations. You’re just here. Like bugs.
Also, Morrissey’s songs are not, are not pot boilers. I want this all to be insured.
Wine is good. I have bronchitis and, and I have to, have to take my antibiotics and my cough syrup. I have a very very bad case of this, and and I can’t go see him at the moment -but I’d like to say that I hope that some of the people on here, like M23 and GU have a really, really lovely time there. I don’t write on the forums, but I do read them a lot. I mean at least M23 and GU, well they, they tried to get people to boycott “ENEMY” and now M23 and GU are trying to give their support and charity to SL. These people do not, do not just utilize this place as, as placeholders, they don’t just “talk about it, they BE about it”. At least they try to help Morrissey. Some other people on here are just so meaningless and worthless, and they just stuff jelly in donuts.
Thank You and Good Night.

A service like a drum
Kept beating, beating, till I thought
My mind was going numb
And then I heard them lift a box,
And creak across my soul
With those same boots of lead, again.
Then space began to toll
As all the heavens were a bell,
And being, but an ear,
And I and Silence some strange Race
