June 12, 20169 yr Jessie J didn't know who PJ Harvey was in 2011 so you're in good comp-, oh wait, no you're not.
June 12, 20169 yr Author Busted, I hope Their last studio Album got to number 2, would certainly be impressive if they improved on that.
June 12, 20169 yr Their last studio Album got to number 2, would certainly be impressive if they improved on that. Oh, right, I thought this just meant returning to the charts at all. Neither album has charted for over a decade. But TBH given low album sales are these days they could pull it off Edited June 12, 20169 yr by JCM20
June 12, 20169 yr I hope Eternal come back with another album. There last studio album, which was as a duo, got to No.87. All there previous albums were at least top 10 and double platinum (I think!). Not sure if it is likely though!

Actually remember Eternal on "The Big Reunion" on ITV2 in 2014 (the programme that spawned The Steps reunion on an earlier series) and there were 2 factions in the group and also Louise expressing no desire to re-join.
June 12, 20169 yr It's not a crime to not know who she is :P I've never actually heard any of her songs, couldn't name one. Me neither but have still heard of her!
June 12, 20169 yr The Richard Ashcroft example still doesn't work because all the albums with his surname on the cover have charted similarly. At least part of the reason the RPA & United Nations Of Sound album flopped was because people didn't know who it was.

June 12, 20169 yr Author If nothing else this thread has been a bit of a revelation that an Eight time BRIT Award nominee and Six time Grammy nominee is unknown to some of our main contributors.

At least part of the reason the RPA & United Nations Of Sound album flopped was because people didn't know who it was. While his recent album hasn't exactly had that many good reviews, the United Nations of Sound album was massively panned by most critics at the time which could've been why it didn't reach the same levels of sales as his previous 3 albums.

All there previous albums were at least top 10 and double platinum (I think!). Not sure if it is likely though! After their 2014 reunion I doubt this would ever happen - Louise refused to rejoin and Kelle left shortly after the Big Reunion saying she would never perform with the band again. I'm surprised they didn't try and milk a Greatest Hits and mini tour off the back of Big Reunion though, They all really must hate each other!
June 13, 20169 yr Me neither but have still heard of her! Yeah same, but it's still not that unlikely for someone to not have heard of her :heehee:
June 13, 20169 yr I'd hardly call PJ Harvey washed up. She's not but the same (low sales in general -> high chart position for a week) applies to her too.
June 13, 20169 yr Personally I would like to see one of the Synthpop acts from the 80's get this type of boost, The Human League (last couple of Albums at 44), Heaven 17 (uncharted for a while now), OMD or (ahem) A Flock Of Seagulls (another series of Bands Reunited may be required). A new OMD album is due at some point, but not necessarily this year. Having first seen PJ Harvey live in 1992, most of this discussion is making me feel very old :lol:

Having first seen PJ Harvey live in 1992, most of this discussion is making me feel very old :lol: Yes, I know what you mean - I saw OMD in 1989 and even then they were past their peak :) Last Album got to number 12 but with the new low-Sales climate and the fact they have been playing concerts as high profile as the Royal Albert Hall I would hope they would get back into Top 10.
June 14, 20169 yr Who the hell is PJ Harvey, is the real question :lol: I genuinely have never heard her and was so confused when she got to number one. :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:
