Album sales fall in hot weather
12 June 2006 - 09:38:57

A combination of extremely hot weather and the start of the World Cup conspired last week to produce the worst album sales figures for nearly four years, writes Alan Jones.

Album sales dipped by 6.7% to 2,033,487, their lowest tally since they totalled 2,019,206 in the sales week ending August 17 2002.

...You Have Killed Me, the introductory single from Morrissey's current album Ringleader Of The Tormentors, debuted at number three to equal his previous best chart position, as established by Irish Blood, English Heart in 2004. Follow-up, The Youngest Was The Most Loved, was less well received last week and debuts at number 14 on sales of 9,798 - a lower placing than any of his six singles releases since 2000. Mozza has now had 27 solo Top 40 hits and 43 hits in all, including 16 fronting The Smiths.

Sami Pinarbasi is scum (Score:0)
There is a Turk and it never goes out.
It's name is Sami Pinarbasi. It lives in Manchester but it never goes out there because it knows it would get it's greasy little kebab peddling face smashed in.
Tick Tock Turk.

Lets get Moz to number one! (Score:1)
I suggest that with all us Morrissey fans in England we could get the main man to number one. I think we owe him one for all the great music over the years. So if we all bought two copies of both singles of the next release then that should do it!
