Overuse of the world "flop" there don't you think though? It's still holding strong on US radio and only recently dropped out of top 10 in US after being there for just under 2 months. Not "Moves like Jagger" or "Payphone" standards but you can't have that same stonking success with every single. I'd say it will peak around #6 or #7 in our chart.

Pfft! It hasn't flopped all over the world you fool. Do your research before you wildly claim things.

What's the source for this? I've not seen anywhere that suggests the UK release date is tomorrow. It is for the US but not for UK anyway. They're also now on Interscope which tend to hold back releases for US artists in the UK like they did for OneRepublic "Love Runs Out" (Ryan Tedder wrote some of "Maps" as well).

It's not doing well because it doesn't have a proper music video I think. They released a 7 minute long video I think that just had fan footage on it. The video itself is barely on any music channels and I think that has affected it hugely. I remember when 'One More Night' was released and the same with 'Payphone', those videos got played a lot whereas the music channels haven't took a liking to this track which I think is down to it having, quite frankly, a shitty video. The video itself looking at the video airplay charts the past few weeks just hasn't been getting played. Although, I do think it may have been the wrong choice as third single but that's another debate. I thought there were better tracks suited to be third single on the album.

Can't all get what we want can we, for example i'd like for you to be euthanised for bashing Maroon 5 every second you breathe!!

You need your head seeing to if you think Maroon 5's latest album is 'flopping' as you call it. Album sales are down across the board. If the climate was better the album would sell more and still probably be around the same position. The market has shrunk currently but will no doubt improve as we move into Q4 which traditionally is better for album sales.

As big a Maroon 5 fan that I am, Linkin Park have #1 all but wrapped up in my opinion. They've been ahead on pre-orders on most online retailers. In general Linkin Park can still shift the units I feel just to sneak ahead of Maroon 5. Maroon 5 will most likely be at #2, although I predict top 3 just because they don't seem to sell as much albums as they have done in the past. The MLJ argument with HAO is a mute point. MLJ was tacked on as a re-issue and wasn't publicised much, apart from being included in the 2 for £10 offer at HMV for example.

Brilliant performance. All I hear from Bre is waaa waaaa. Sorry just had to. I knew a post like that was coming. Payphone for #1 (when it is released!!)

Absolutely zero discussion on this album? Suprised to be honest, considering this went #1. The album is pretty solid throughout, albeit a very safe sounding album for Keane. It's not taking any form of risks like Perfect Symmetry did which I thought was a much better album. Soverign Light Cafe is the standout track for me.

Interesting to see tribute/fake cover version of Maroon 5 - Payphone at #179

I disagree with the fact the album will drop massively next week. I can see it holding up at an acceptable level. I can't see it selling massively either though unless they can turnaround their relevance in the singles market which hasn't happened so far with lead single "Silenced by the Night".

You quite clearly don't know what you're talking about. Keane are generally album sellers nowadays with the recent exception of Night Train which was an EP anyway and still went #1.

How about the general music buying public decided? Seriously, I love the input you put into this site Bre, but your constant dissaproval of anything Maroon 5 gets really annoying. I'm a bit of a lurker on these forums. I generally post every now and then and yes I am biased in that I like Maroon 5. It was even more annoying back when MLJ was doing really well throughout the whole of late last year. It's ok not to like a track or even a band and even to state that but the numerous occasions you do it, it just becomes tedious and like I say I love the input you put into these forums. I have my dislikes and likes and it's obvious you do as well. Sorry if I'm coming across as too strong here, it's just something I constantly see a lot from you on these forums and it's the only negative thing I have to say about you. Awful band in your opinion I suppose. One of my favourite bands, if not, my favourite. I've been listening to them since I was 14 and I've grown up with them. They have a lot of wonderful gems on their albums that people never hear and just mainly judge on the singles they put out. As for the song, I love it! It seems more "Stereo Hearts" than anything like MLJ to be perfectly honest.

Keane - Silenced by the Night. This has been moved to 15th April, this coming Sunday. Source provided below. http://keanemusic.com/archive-comment.php?...IJilCqa0VTrE%3D

Disconnected isn't the first single in the UK. It's already been confirmed by Keane themselves that Silenced by the Night will be the lead single in the UK. It had its first UK radio play last week on Fearne Cotton's Radio 1 show.
