On battling busy streets, of those "board" people, who have money to throw away on "so called" bargains, I approached Woolworths, to find they are already stocking the shelfs, with Radiohead`s new album In Rainbows. I thought this was not released until next Monday?

 

I even saw it in the local Sainsburys. Surely, this will make it smash into next Sunday`s top 3.

 

Has anyone else seen it on the shelfs, in their area?

It`s all over the stores, in Reading. Number one in Sainsbury`s and Woolworths. HMV still go with a release of 31st December. Very Strange!!!

hmm... interesting... I ain't got a clue why this album is out early. Their album is certainly a hot contender to knock Leona off the top

Sugababes top 5 :o Booty Luv has got potential to be a top 10 hit on Sunday if the Xmas tracks do fall of the chart like a brick

I think that Katie Melua, wll be still in the top 5 though Mikey...remembering Tesco etc!!!

Maybe the Christmas singles, that are available physically, might still hang around, too?

There`s only the Pogues, on physical tho? Can`t see Mariah, hanging about. Maybe Ginger, could be in the top 20 with Holiday.

Yes only Pogues and Andy Williams but he was only about # 20.

 

All I want for Christmas is You is quite popular though it might hang on this weekend in the top 10 on downloads alone.

Yeah, I suppose, Monday and Tuesdays downloads, could keep them in too.

I went to buy it in Woolies today, and was told it was pre order only and out on Monday :lol:

Wonder if some stores, have got it on display, by mistake???

If they have...why have they got it in their album charts? And would Woolworths, and Sainsbury, both make the same mistake? Or is the mistake, in the stores, chart, and that`s why it`s on display? I suppose we will have to wait, until we see, a proper compiled chart. Not sure, whether I will see an mrib chart, this Saturday...

 

Maybe Woolworths, and Sainsbury, have just restricted it to, the Southern area of England?

On a separate note, all HMV stores are already stocking all 3 formats of Mika's new single which isn't due out until Monday

The official TV advert says the 31st.

 

Very strange.

I like radiohead. They've got a song that isn't in 4/4! Very rare that is noawdays

Today, I spoke to the manager, of the entertainment section, at our local Woolworths. It seems there was a c**k-up in both Woolies, and Sainsbury. Both have album charts printed with Radiohead, at number one.

 

Both stores, have been supplied copies, of the cd. However Radiohead`s record distributor, made a mistake of telling stores, that the album was released on 24th Dec. Radiohead`s management, told the distributers yesterday, to remove all, of the copies, from the shelfs.

 

On display now are all empty boxes of the new cd!! With the charts, in the stores, still showing the album, at number one!!!

 

Wow, could that have lost sells, if more copies got out early!! I wonder if anyone, actually managed, to take a copy, out of a store!!!
