Excerpt:
Twelve years after his first number one album Vauxhall And I debuted in pole position with a sale of just 25,446, Morrissey returns to the summit with Ringleader Of The Tormentors, which sold 62,709 copies last week. That's fewer than the first week sales of his last album, Morrissey, You Are The Quarry, which opened with 74,995 copies, but had to settle for second place behind Keane's Hopes And Fears. Ringleader is the first number one ever on Attack, which started life as a reggae label in 1972, and is now a Sanctuary imprint.
Morrissey first topped the chart with The Smiths' Meat Is Murder in February 1985, and extends his span to more than 21 years with his fourth number one in all, and his second solo number one, Ringleader Of The Tormentors. The only artists with longer spans of number ones are Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard, The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Diana Ross, Pink Floyd, Abba and Barbra Streisand.

This is a story of UK sales of his new album, don't hijack it for purposes of your own hatred. Indeed, visiting this website simply to offer obscenities on unrelated subjects must point to a certain lack of fulfilment in one's life.
We don't need Canadian fans wading into this story just to make a point which they've already made, but neither does the fact that they're Canadian mean anything in terms of whether they're foul-mouthed trolls.
Nevertheless, the subject in hand

I mean what the fuck has it ever contributed to the world ? Drugs cheat Ben Johnson.
If it wasn't part of the Commonwealth, we'd forget it even existed.
