I knew Sub-Culture certainly never hit the heights of 7 (which is what both the main sites are showing) Cannae believe Revenge never hit the Top 75 with either a single or album! And I thought The Other Two had a Top 75 album as well.

i would imagine the sites copied each other rather than actualy checked for themselves.

no idea which was first though.

BLT only at 56? I'm surprised.

Did it chart state side? Over here it seems to be the most famous NO song, aside from 'Blue Monday'.

Get Ready only lasted 4 weeks on the charts??? Was 2001 the year the book came out Shug? - it may still have been in the chart at the time.

Shows one thing - Republic may be talked down by some people, but it probably out-sold Technique, & definitly out-sold Low-Life & Brotherhood by a long way!.

Nope, I paid £15 for the book at Christmas. I was an avid collector of 7" singles, I used to try and snap up loads of Dylan stuff so I could trade with my dad for his records, if I had a Dylan single he'd not got, I'd use that to get 3 or 4 of his other singles, he did the same by collecting Joy Division / New Order / Mondays and 2Tone & Indie stuff he knew I liked!

It was deleted, and then re-released. Advanced orders pushed it into the charts. Little bit of gerrymandering by Factory Records, if we're being honest. Still, it did the trick.

not necessarily so, may have needed bigger sales back then to crack the charts
