Heres to the next album doing just as well as WPSIATWIN. :party2:
November 30, 200618 yr It's been coming for a while :( At the moment it's my personal second favourite of the year too though ^_^
December 3, 200618 yr The hype has drowned dramatically. but still 1million+ in it's first year is great.
December 3, 200618 yr Author The hype has drowned dramatically. but still 1million+ in it's first year is great. Yeah unforunatley it has. :( Saying that though there has only really being two singles to promote the album. I think the album could have sold even more than it had done if a couple more proper singles off the album were released. ^_^

December 3, 200618 yr Author If Mardy Bum was released that would have been another #1 for them as well as a lot more sales. -_- Yeah I think Mardy Bum would have generated a lot more sales for the album as well. ^_^ It would probably have been #1 as well with it appealing to both fans and single buyers because it is the catchiest song on the album and I could see it doing quite well on airplay as well. ^_^
December 3, 200618 yr Mardy Bum is definitely radio friendly and would have given the album longer legs in the chart. but still . as i said you can't complain with the sales it has achieved :)

December 5, 200618 yr I played the album only today. (I'm going through all my 2006 studio albums bought, for my Albums of the Year thread to be posted towards the end of December/beginning of January 2007). I'd almost forgotten what a great album it is. It really does not have much filler on it at all.

I'd almost forgotten what a great album it is. It really does not have much filler on it at all. I shall look forward to that. :D I've only just recently started playing the album again as I played it so much that it was beginning to grate on me. :( Its definitley in my Top 3 albums of the year. ^_^
