October 6, 200915 yr Author 41. (28) HUMBUG (Arctic Monkeys) 6 wks hard times for indie bands ...even arctic monkeys seem to suffer... It's a hard time for albums in general. Hoping Humbug will pick up towards Christmas time what with Cornerstone being released and the UK tour...

October 11, 200915 yr Author 52 41 7 Arctic Monkeys Humbug No suprise really. I just hope it doesn't drop out of the Top 75 in the next couple of weeks... i'm hoping Cornerstone will push it up a little bit, although i'm not quite sure what levels of exposure the track will get really.
February 3, 201015 yr even if the sales are poor these days i m glad to see it (still) in the charts...
