Bournemoz said:According to havenforum.co.uk, its midweek position has seen him slipped out of the top ten and is set to be a "top 20" hit. Don't have the exact placing but it looks as if we're going to be disappointed.
Black Eyed said:I think the point we are missing is that despite the fact we dont care if he makes the top ten or not, its Morrissey himself who wants it.
DeliciousDemon said:If he's obsessed with the charts he's a man of the past.
I think he's not, therefore, I think chart success doesn't even remotely interest him as much as increased sales that determent chart success in the first place (and a little thing we like to call "the bank account"). I don't blame him for that just disliked the fact that he's been dwelling over it almost everywhere. Dare I say it made him look a bit .. pathetic?
Kewpie said:As all we know, his greatest achivement is that despite the series of poor chart positions his songs remain timeless and keep touching millions' hearts
DeliciousDemon said:Agree.
My point just was that an artist of such grandure like Morrissey should get over the chart and airplay issues and learn to appreciate other things that are there - sold-out venues, milions of devoted fans who are capable of traveling accross a continent just to see him play and who are willing to buy all 3 versions of one single just to make sure they didn't miss out on a single note ...
Charts and sales are really not everything. He should know better.

Musings said:Yes, but here's my point: They are important to Morrissey. Also, HE IS such an important artist and, presumably, important to all of us as a person (otherwise, why would we be here?), so I deeply feel we should do everything possible to get him to the top of the charts -- especially if that's what he wants.
