Yeah! I've got my copy!!! Personally, I don't really care if the record makes it to the charts. Morrissey, like many other successful artists don't need that. He knows he has lots of followers. In our days, charts are made for R&B or some danceable crap and nothing with real meaning but with a good marketing being.
There's never been a period in the history of popular music where the charts were for meaningful songs. Sure, some broke through, but it wasn't the standard. Every generation has complained about the depth of popular culture as they grow older, and that's because they were young and naive when these impressions were made. Everything was new, and important.
People need to stop acting like the eighties and nineties were some golden age of substance. The eighties, and nineties were probably the worst eras of popular music. The game as figured out by then. In the nineties people loved mocking the absurdity of the eighties, and then in the noughts, the eighties became a kind of ironic tool for the culture vultures.
Popular music's creation, and rise has always been about dancing, having fun, and getting laid. It wasn't about sitting in a darkened room listening to Dylan, and Morrissey while contemplating the meaning of life. If you wanted that feeling you listened to Jazz, or Classical music.
The Beatles art albums, and Dylan's folk stardom changed all of that, and it opened up a market for pop poets.
You could add the punk movement, but it was fake. The Ramones, and Sex Pistols were carefully fabricated, but the kids took them seriously. I cringe when people talk about Johnny Rotten like he isn't playing a character. He's all stage, and screen.
