The wateriest, thinnest, least substantial gruel you will ever, ever, ever find.

Perfect description for your repetitive bleatings.

After the disappointment of last weekend it’s nice to have something to celebrate. And number 2 behind Yellow Submarine, where did I find my copy in HMV ?, hiding behind Yellow Submarine in the vinyl rack !

Some info from Musicweek:
‘Meanwhile, a picture disc of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine also fails to generate enough overall consumption to make the Top 75 but tops the 7-inch singles chart on sales of 2,788 copies.’

So the limited edition of 2,000 could be true.

How did I know Uncle Narrow Minded would be the first to shit on this thread?

What is the meaning of dystopian?

HAHAH MOZ GOOD ONE!

We shouldnt even be here according to the Drama J nonsense LOL. Drama J and his William Burroughs book were going to have a COMET FLY FULL FORCE INTO US and BLOW US UP>

Of course, nothing happened, just Drama J nonsense.

My Love...7" was meant to be 2000 copies.
It was released in early March and is somehow still selling copies 4 months later and appears in the chart in the OP.
It peaked at number one and remained in the chart moving up and down for 16 weeks - not sure how it can keep selling for months after being number 1 with a limited supply?? Anyone?
This was the same for Jacky's (which has been in and out of the chart for 23 weeks on 2k copies - no way!).
Last week 2 Morrissey 7"s were higher than Yellow Submarine, so that means they sold more.
Previous week's chart (6th - 12th):

The figures are off somewhere - the maths doesn't add up. There physically has to be more than 2000 for any of the singles to behave the way they have in the chart over their time periods.

And on the top 100? Nowhere to be seen? And this single is something he’s proud of? Even an old New Order song charted.

See you Morrissey. I reckon we will never see you in the singles chart again. Racist fool.

 

[Morrissey_Sucks]

Haha. Just noticed the Beatles are at number 2 on the singles chart. Haha. The Beatles!!

 

[Anonymous]

Meanwhile in tha actual Top 100, it did not chart, neither did the album lol

Just back from watching The Killers at the Macron with my youngest. Crikey they know how to put a show on, they even threw in Blue Monday by New Order.
2 hours, proper value for money, highly recommend next time they're in town.

Because he’s utterly predictable?

Maybe. Or it could be that the premise that vinyl singles can typically sell thousands of copies a week is obviously wrong.

I think you only have to sell about 50 copies to get to #16 on the UK vinyl charts, so the later weeks aren't adding a huge amount of volume.

 

[AztecCamera]

I reckon now me know why Hope Sandoval and Uncle Steve were laughing hilariously while hiking Tuna Canyon this morning. Both in the top 10 in the UK and Steve just canceled his UK and Nazi country tour. It's so easy!!! Uncle Steve and TMMG, ltd-Beverly Hills........you rock!

 

[Moperissey]

Congratulations on topping Ryan Adams! All you have to do now is overtake the front runner. ...a 50 year old tune by a long defunct four-piece with 2 dead members.

Oooooooh. The British vinyl singles charts are tough competition.

That’s all very nice, but why is there a shortened version of Ouija Board on “This Is Morrissey”? What’s up with that?

It ruins the song.

It's the version that originally appeared in the Bona Drag remaster. A few people on this forum at the time assumed he may have shortened it because he wasn't happy with the name Steven being included. But I completely agree with you. Without that line, there is no pay off. It's now just a song about a guy using a Ouija board to talk to a dead friend.

I’m not a fan of Morrissey’s revisionism. I didn’t buy the Viva Hate remastered album because he left out Ordinary Boys and mutilated Maudlin Street.

Maybe he can add some new lines to Ouija Board, where he uses it to talk to his dead carreer?

You're taking the piss, aren't you?

 

[firstodie]

What is the meaning of dystopian?

I was wondering that too. I've heard of utopian which is some kind of ideal state, so I'd imagine it means the opposite, like dysfunctional.
