Guest AntiVirgin Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 his commentary on psb is bang on ! even if they had released pandemonium, more than a dream or all around the world..which are the most uptempo and commerical from Yes, they would have still stalled. it really is sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Bitch Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 No one wants to buy records by ugly old men - besides, PSBs haven't done anything decent since the mid-90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroco Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 The problem I think with the PSBs lack of steady sales is that they are not sexy rock stars. There 80s teen appeal has waned whilst the quality of their music has only slightly declined with occasional rises (e.g. Fundamental). Neil Tennants voice is not great either. Unlike certain female popstars it seems impossible for them to reinvent themselves to engage with current trends. That said....Yes is NUMBER 1 in the midweek chart!!!! Ronan is just over 1k behind. They would be 3.5k ahead if their album was not released a few days early by fucking itunes!: Top 40 Only Singles 1 Lady GaGa 2 Flo Rida 3 Taylor Swift 4 Beyonce 5 Noisettes Top 10 AR Rahman/PCD Top 15 Metro Station Top 20 Lily Allen (Not Fair) Top 30 K.I.G.

aeroco Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Here is the Music Week report: Pet Shop Boys eye first chart topper since 1993 10:41 | Tuesday March 24, 2009 By Paul Williams Pet Shop Boys are facing a close battle with Ronan Keating as they look to score their first number one album in the UK in more than 15 years. The duo’s new Parlophone-issued album Yes is presently around 1,200 units ahead of Keating’s Polydor release Songs For My Mother, according to early retail reports, but the story is made more complicated by the PSB album having accidentally ended up on iTunes three days early last week. It is understood around 2,500 sales of the album achieved on the Apple site following its premature release there last Friday will not count towards this coming week’s chart as they will be recognised as sales from last week instead. Pet Shop Boys, who won the outstanding contribution award at this year’s Brits, have only topped the albums chart once before. Very reached number one in October 1993. With her latest single Not Fair set to move into the Top 20 of the singles chart this week, Lily Allen’s album It’s Not Me, It’s You is expected to return to the artist albums Top 10 this coming Sunday. Prodigy’s album Invaders Must Die, released on their Take Me To The Hospital label through Cooking Vinyl, is also vying for a Top 10 return. Outside the 10, Royksopp’s new Wall of Sound album Junior will lead a clutch of new entries that will also include releases from Warner Bros’s Mastodon, Interscope/Polydor’s Papa Roach, Rough Trade’s Decemberists and Interscope/Mosley/Polydor’s Chris Cornell. Seventeen years after it first charted, Pearl Jam’s Ten is set to return to the Top 40 for Columbia in an enhanced version. On the singles chart Interscope/Polydor’s Lady GaGa will again face its main challenge from Atlantic’s Flo Rida track Right Round for the number one position. Vertigo/Mercury’s Noisettes are expected to be the chart’s highest new entry with Don’t Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go) targeting a top five debut, while the Interscope/Polydor release Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny) by AR Rahman featuring the Pussycat Dolls is likely to leap into the Top 10 from its present chart position of 20.

promise to try Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It would be great to see PSB at number one, but I´m afraid it´s not going to happen: they are number 1 right now because all the die hard fans went to buy the album the first day: I think they will end at number 4, which is not bad at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Even at their heyday a No1 album was not easy for PSB. Their first and only one so far was Very. Love etc. is an exceptional track and I really don't understand why it couldn't be a mainstream pop hit. I hope both the single and the album linger on for a healthy chart run.

aeroco Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Some sales have been released too. Hopefully Ronan Cunting will suffer a decline through the week bigger than PSBs. Sales generally have dropped from last week so the number 1 position is there for the taking: 1 YES PET SHOP BOYS (11.6k) 2 SONGS FOR MY MOTHER Ronan Keating (10.4k) 3 ONLY BY THE NIGHT KINGS OF LEON (7.8k) 4 THE FAME LADY GAGA (7.3k) 5 THE COLLECTION ANNIE LENNOX (6.5k) Such a shame that PSB have lost 2500 sales this week due to itunes fucking up.

fak Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 PSB no1? What will they be the following week? I cant see the PSB selling too much. The novelty factor of their Brits win will wear off soon. Annie Lennox is also going strong. I thought that would fall of the top 10 after a week. Did nt Eurythmics have a massive GH back in the early 90's?

jonski43 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I can't believe they have only had one No.1 album as they were huge in the 80s. Good for them although I don't think they've had a really great song since 'Before' was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkydita Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 In albums Ronan leads PSB by 3,200 copies. In the singles chart Noisettes are at 2, 4.5k behind Lady Gargoyle. Promise To Try - Franz are at 22 which is good considering it's still download only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeroco Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Ronan has it in the bag now. Sales this week for number 1 will be around 35k so they could have done it. Their last album opened on 26k I think. If they can't make off the back of the Brits and so many positive reviews then they never will. Eeww at Ronan taking Neil Tennant from behind.

funkydita Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 grannies and housewives in the supermarkets Ronan Keating is surely the quintessential poster boy for people who buy their CDs at ASDA; he's the pop version of homogenised, non-brand, no-frills, "value" produce.
