Well on it’s way to double platinum now! Shows clearly still a market, been a surprisingly big success.

Apologies if you're not able to help vidsanta, but a recent music week article mentioned "The Killers 2013 compilation 'Direct Hits' has passed half a million copies". Whilst a very reliable source, my last figures for it are hugely below that - from what you know could their figure be correct or do you suspect a mistake? thanks :)

Where is The Killers - Wonderful Wonderful please? :)

In the latest Q magazine The Killers confirm they will release all their Christmas singles to date and a new one to be released on a Christmas album this year. LP5 likely in early 2016.

That's ridiculous! Surely it'd be easy for the OCC to distinguish which album it's streamed from?

Killers did go Platinum with their recent set and it's still selling. As to streaming points, I'm assuming if you chose to stream, say When You Were Young from its main album, Sam's Town, the streaming points go to that, but if you chose the same track but on the album Direct Hits, the points go to the hits album and only that?

Yes they've finished it and have filmed the video! The final part of the bad santa trilogy feat. Ryan Pardey. They also said they're looking to end the tradition soon - when they have enough for an album (so maybe one more after this one) they'll put it out as a record which will hopefully earn some money for Red. New album being produced by Flood and Alan Moulder (the producing duo of Sam's Town) if anyones interested!

Every Killers album - studio or compilation - has now received Platinum status in the UK :D all 6

U2 have been talking *a lot* lately about how to stay relevant and how to get young people to buy an album these days. I live in hope.

Killers - Direct Hits & Keane - Best Of & Jake bugg - shangri la please! And if you have it Killers - shot at the night.

Here you go: A great big sled: #11 on the download chart (in eligible for main chart at the time) Don't shoot me Santa: #34 Joseph, Better you than me: #88 Happy birthday Guadalupe: #110 Boots: #53 Cowboys Christmas ball: #112 I feel it in my bones: #70 Christmas in LA: #92

Yep, it's called 'Christmas in LA', due on or around Dec 1st (world aids day), it's featuring a band called Dawes and is produced by Steve Lillywhite. These never do much on the charts these days, but it's a great tradition that the band and fans seems to love.

JAG is not a single no, pure cherry picking. To be expected when they have so many fans who have all their studio albums so wouldn't buy a greatest hits. As to SATN it is a shame they cancelled it's release, but hey, it's out and #15 on itunes so really doing far better than most expected! So maybe it was the best tactic afterall. As for the next record, it is a shame they didn't straight away make another one. But they're not breaking up! Ron has said there'll be a new Killers studio album sometime in 2016. Inbetween we'll have another brandon solo effort.

Ok thanks! Any idea why that is? Seems pretty illogical to me, Radio 1 playlisted, promo of Jools Holland and Radio 1 gig next week. Why would they choose not to release?!

Why did The Killers - Shot At The Night suddenly get delayed a week?! Where was that from?

It looks like The Killers Greatest Hits-esque CD will be called "Direct Hits" and released Nov 11th. The listing is on Amazon UK and All Access 'future releases' in the US, I can't post links here. The lead single from it is called "Shot At The Night" and will premier tomorrow night (the 16th) on Zane Lowe's R1 show, but no release date confirmed. It's produced by Anthony Gonzalez of M83 and is "sonically somewhere between 'Smile Like You Mean It' and 'Miss Atomic Bomb'" according to NME.

Where is The Killers - Battle Born nowadays? 310k? Also out of interest do you know where it is on the 100-200 album chart? Also whilst I'm here... Muse - 2nd Law Greenday - Uno/Dos/Tre Thanks!

Thanks! done some research now, looks legit.

Can anybody shed any light? Interesting to know where this comes from!

Coming Soon The Killers - Greatest Hits Where has this rumour come from? Heard nothing from the band nor label about this being a possibility in the near future, despite them talking about what's next.

Does anybody have information on sales in the itunes album rather than singles chart? Haven't seen much of that around, would be interesting.

Thanks! Was interested in if it's been sent to radio or if not when, but I guess we will find out.
