UK Chart Position statement - Morrissey Central (31 May, 2019)

UK Chart Position. - Morrissey Central
May 31, 2019

"Given the inexhaustible Hate Campaign executed against me by The Guardian and their followers, I am pleased with the UK chart position for "California son".
BUT WHO WILL GUARD US FROM THE GUARDIAN?
No one, it seems.

It is worth noting that their chief antagonist in this Hate Campaign is someone I took to court some years ago for writing lies about me. He lost his court battle then, and now he's seeking his personal revenge by using The Guardian, who have been harassing everyone and anyone connected with my music imploring them to say something terrible about me for print. This is the open face of Soviet Britain.
Please do not buy this wretched hate-paper, whose every 2019 utterance echoes the late Mary Whitehouse.
It is the voice of all that is wrong and sad about modern Britain."

Cos there’s no competition besides Lewis capaldi. And please stick by what you said the other day, ramming home the point about how many new fans he’d gained and the controversy had done more good than harm. Now what? You backtracking, getting your excuses in just like Moz.
Really? No competition? How about The Amazons, Elton John-soundtrack, Sting, Waterboys, Flying Lotus, Primal Scream?
All enter the charts today.

They also all lost touch with the British public because they are not number 1 :crazy:

Do you even live in the real world?

They’re all shit. I’m a die hard Moz fan. And maybe too biased, but he should be outselling all them by a country mile.
 
What artist releases a statement like that BEFORE the charts are even updated. He’s preparing his fans for an underwhelming showing.

If there is as you say any preparation being done... then it’s only to inform those on why it is impossible to get a fair chart placement if you’re an artist that speaks their mind in Soviet Britain.

Please answer my question, are you even from here? Look at you again, mimicking Moz with your “soviet Britain” shite, you f***in parrot.
 
Indeed, he is pleased, as he should be, because for a covers album to do as well as some of his studio albums, is a great achievement.

Viva Hate: 1
Bona Drag: 9
Kill Uncle: 8
Your Arsenal: 4
Beethoven: 13
Vauxhall: 1
World of: 15
Southpaw: 4
Maladjusted: 8
Quarry: 2
Earls Court: 18
Ringleader: 1
Greatest Hits: 5
Refusal: 3
World Peace: 2
Low in High School: 5
California Son:

The 12 studio albums all being top 10's deserves its own thread. You know, for us fans to just chat about his records. Maybe with a drink or twelvetyseven to celebrate! :)

Maybe Morrissey will release another statement mentioning it. Which he bloody should!
 
Quarry and Ringleader reached a combined 130,000+ sales in their first week. His popularity has plummeted. It’s an undeniable fact.
No one, no artist worldwide, sells as much today as they did at the beginning of this century. Album sales have collapsed. Another plain fact there, widely known.

If so many fans gave left him, then a top ten chart postion would indicate new fans made a purchase, no? I already said I think it'll get to number 7. Anything top 10 is great.
 
YES MOZ WINS AGAIN!!!!:thumb::thumb:


SOVIET SKINNY AND HIS TROIKA OF SURFACE, ORDINARYTWAT AND :handpointright::guardsman::handpointleft:

AND THE CUCKS AT THE GUARDIAN BEAT DOWN:thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Maybe I rate him higher than you then, cos #7 isn’t acceptable, and top 10 isn’t a success. It’s f***in embarrassing, and his statement smacks of embarrassment and excuses. Anyway I don’t care, chart positioning isn’t gonna make the album any less shit.

And you've spent your entire adult life totally obsessed with him - singing his songs on the You Tube, appearing on national TV answering questions about him (your specialist subject), buying the posters, the t-shirts, the CDs, having the hair, the clothes, attending the concerts. All your friends, family and colleagues (everyone you've ever met) associating you with him. The single biggest influence on the whole of your life - a toxic, right wing bigot. What a total and utter time-wasting wanker with appalling judgement that shows you to be.

:lbf::lbf:

In isolation, those figures mean absolutely nothing. How do they compare with plays for other albums in the top 10, if indeed it is?
