Our Kaiser Chiefs single hot-footed it in at 66 this week. DiS gives big sloppy wet kisses to all of you lot who bought it. It also charted at 7 in the indie chart and has sold out in many cities. Ooooooh.
Elsewhere, The Cribs go in at 75, Million Dead are at 72, and Agent Blue's wonderfuly titled 'Sex, Drugs And Rocks Through Your Window' is at 71.
Up there in the Top 10 is Cassidy feat. R Kelly at 3, while a hot new girl band (who, quite frankly, look identical to All Saints), The 411 are at 4 with 'On My Knees'. The Corrs make their comeback at 6.
ATL, whoever/whatever that is, is at 12, and horrible American rawk band The Calling are at 13 with 'Our Lives'. Go away.
Muse milk their album a bit more with 'Sing For Absolution' (16), fucking Abba and the re-release of 'Waterloo' somehow gets as high as 20 (who's buying that record?), while Kevin Lyttle only manages 22. Then there's some idiot from American Idol World Idol, Kurt Nilsen, at 25, beating the far more ace PJ Harvey (28).
And there's more... Nick Drake's first ever single, 'Magic', is in at 32, and Brand New get a hit at 39, Millwall FC suffer a double loss this week by missing out on the Top 40 by one place, and The Others also narrowly miss out on the 'big' chart by going in at 42. Ach well.
AND FINALLY (at last) there's Zero 7 at 56, Sting (!) at 60 and System Of Life at 63. We don't have the full top 100, but Barenaked Ladies were something like 91 in the midweek last time we looked, so there's little hope there. Good.
The album charts have some 'interesting' new entries too. Keane hold on to the top spot and Morrissey is No. 2. Then there's Ash at 5, Alanis at 8, Gabrielle at 10, The Charlatans at 13, Graham Coxon at 19, New Found Glory at 27, Method Man at 29, and Gomez (yuck) at 35. Lenny Kravitz, meanwhile, heads for the dumper at 74.
Right. That'll do. Bye.

CHARTSzzz! Wot, no Barenaked Ladies?

i thought he was the sweden (or somewhere around there, finland perhaps) idol. he won the world idol.
how come half the stuff ive never heard of. 411? who the hell are they, the cassidy feat. r kelly song? i aint heard that.
not surprising really as i dont listen to the radio, and the only way i see music in the chart is if i flick over and accidently see it on the box, sh, channelu! (yuck) or some other pop channel.

HOPE OF THE STATES!
The single itself is worth at least 100 times what I paid for it... of course if it was, no one would pay for it.
Of course if it wasn't, no one would pay for it either!

Re: HOPE OF THE STATES!
Also the whole band didn't seem to produce the sound live that the reviewers seemed to say they do (and the previous singles too!).
Haven't seen the new, post-tragedy line up live though.
And on another note I got 4 promotional e-mails and a text telling me to buy the single. I was tempted not to bother (but it's a good track and for 1.80...).
Concern for the guttergoat
I'm not expecting At The Drive-In for the live set anyway.
The Fly gave the album 5/5, and Hot Press (Irish publication) gave the album 8/10 (which in reality is a ten, because they're biased chumps who only reserve higher scores for Irish artists).
Re: Concern for the guttergoat
He just sat there in the dark at his keyboard while the roadies started to pack the rest of the stuff away. Eventually he left.
You have to admit they do basically owe their whole sound to F#A#(infinity) by GSYBE! though...
Re: CHARTSzzz! Wot, no Barenaked Ladies?
theyve thrown away anything valid and worthwhile about themsleves to play an average song with shitty mick jagger/liam galagher vocals

Re: CHARTSzzz! Wot, no Barenaked Ladies?
