Morrissey Central Dog on a Chain - genuine number 1 album in Scotland

This surely deserves its own thread.
It's a genuine number 1 in Scotland, folks, i.e. not just on some dodgy Amazon/indie/iTunes etc. chart.
I'm guessing it will be the only country on the planet where he gets a proper #1.
He's said before how much he likes Scotland and the 'Scottish spirit'. It seems the feeling is mutual.
Well done Steve!

Youre welcome, Moz.

A show back at The Barrowlands would most definitely be very, very welcome. When society resumes, of course...

There is no such thing as society....... unless you pay the poll tax first......

P S. It’s time the tale were told of who actually wrote those Smiths songs?
Spill the beans Steve the game is up.

I've become a militant Scottish Nationalist & will raise an army & sack Newcastle, as is my birthright. Mainly because Benny the rUK Butcher is doing that horrendous eyebrow thing.

For me it's the other way round, grass is always greener I guess.

when you can have both, it's the people that make the difference.

Listen I know you're a fan but that's a pretty ignorant last line in your comment. Scotland have always had their own chart like every other country has.

I did state I don't follow charts and that it was a genuine question...so yes I am (or was) ignorant in that regard. At the time of my post (it was late on) I hadn't checked actual population numbers to put it in perspective - couldn't be arsed, frankly, at the time.
Population of Scotland c.5.5m & Birmingham population c.1m, so no.1 in Scotland is not like having a no.1 in Birmingham; it's the equivalent of c.5x Birminghams. Not too shabby. I'd take it.

Fair point, I always enjoy my trips to Manchester, come down approx 4 times a year and Mancunian folks & their humour are great.

I'll accept that reply too, cheers pal. New album is great, some tracks very immediate and others take a few listens to fully appreciate but a lot going on both lyrically and musically.

No probs. The album, imho, is great, & I'm really pleased for Moz.

I think it might be the other way around! Monafail gave him the boost he needed!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody knows that records that get a ban always rise higher in the charts. People love something that they are not supposed to listen too! Thanks Monafail! You are so dumb that you gave attention and supported the very thing you wanted to kill.... fail, fail, fail If you don't believe me...look at the chart this week! #1

 

[Benny Liar]

Saw New Order there a few years ago, Never heard a crowd singing as loud as they were that night!

Do you like New Order? Strange, you've never mentioned it before.

 

[Mr Propers Ghost]

A million or more will be dead in a few weeks but I'm Number One in the Charts!

Used to, when it was boring, right-wing people doing the banning. For a while Twitter was the rising voice of Liberal-left morality, enforcers of the new social status quo & they really could finish you.

Luckily they're so horrible, they're finishing themselves.

Sooner the better.

London police are so passive, he'd be booked by his second Peckham in Glasgow. Possibly his first.

Stop watching the news, because the news contrives to frighten us.
