Here To Stay - back in the Top 10? — Forum Archive

30 Jan 2002, 20:59

So the announcement that The Chemicals collaboration will be the next NO release is welcome news for those of us who loathe the idea of bands milking their albums for pointless remixes etc... It will be interesting therefore to see how this will do chartwise and whether or not the combined might of both sets of fans will help give this one the jolt it so needs to restore (possibly) flagging interest in both bands. I see the Chems "Come With Us" LP is out this week but as for its fate one can only wait til Sunday to see if it will be their third no1. LP . Their "Star Guitar" single hit number 8 - equalling the placing of "It Began In Afrika", (which I thought was pretty piss poor for a Chems single anyroad) so the signs are the Chems will probably still go top three, if not no.1.

One only hopes that when "Here To Stay" is released, the useless record company don't undertake their usual balls-up that we've come to expect of them and shift the bloody release date back, making it clash with about 400 other "big" chart acts, thus once again depriving the band of a top 20 placing - let alone a top 10 one. In fact, if this single stiffs, I've a feeling London Records will just drop New Order. It may well happen.

So, "Here To Stay" - will it do as it's title so optimistically suggests? It's Make or Break time for The Order, me reckons. Seriously.

London Records / Balls up It's a fookin certainty mate!!! Look at the last few fookin efforts :nonono: Who the fuck is in charge of PR? You'd think they would try a bit harder this time....but then again..... Maybe they're hoping because it's a collab with the Chems - they won't have tae bother (again) Let's hope not eh? As fer London Records dropping them - I can't see it - but it certainly wouldn't be a bad thing - Useless Basts!! Make or Break time? Don't agree with that (unless yer talking Record company again) New Order will always have it's hardcore support :nod: No matter how many times they infuriate you - We ALWAYS come back for more - Bitter/Sweet That's why we all Love em;) Here's to Finsbury Park :jump: :clap: :jump: :karate: :clap: :smoking: :jump: neworder neworder neworder neworder;)

London Records do not know their arse from their elbow - that's for sure! :nonono:

Originally posted by Hubert Mickle Know where yer coming from and that Shug - "make or break" I meant in "record company speak" (spit!) as I know the hardcore fan element will keep the band in choccy biccies and chin transplants for a while yet. But the signs are pretty ominous to be honest - I mean, think of the same kind of thing that may happen to this single as happened with "60mph" - that would be a real fuck up wouldn't it? It'd seriously piss me off for starters! It might not even come out on London - but the Chems label (Virgin, i think) - is that possible? One thing I hope is that the artwork for this one is better than the shite of the last three releases - perhaps I'm alone in thinkin the Crystal, 60mph and Get Ready sleeve designs were absolute crap - so lazy using the same photo session on ALL the sleeves except a different pose - were it not for the stripe colours you wouldn't be able to tell the releases apart - perhaps that's why the second single did so bad - punters may have mistook it for "Crystal" - well, it's quite possible isn't it?Anyway - let's see what happens then...

Aye :nod: Agree with the designs fer the last few releases, not up to the usual high standard Huberto;) As fer the Here to Stay single - from the information on these pages and on Ceefax (channel 4) it looks like it'll be a London release;)

It's all down to Radio 1 and whether they put it on the A list, isn't it?

If it don't get played on daytime radio, nothing will happen.

I reckon it'll get to No.1 if it is marketed properly and is as good as has been mooted in a previous thread - 'old dance pioneers team up with new dance pioneers'

Surely they can't go wrong with this, can they?

31 Jan 2002, 17:46

Chems and New Order unleashed at last? That's welcome news indeed! Like you all, I also hope against all hope that this next one will do well - but like Mickey says if the big bods at Radio 1 don't playlist it then it'll probably lead balloon and yet another great opportunity will be pissed away once more. The Chems have got their new lp out this week I've noticed....

Mark and Lard will probably name it single of the week (hopefully - they did with Crystal) and after an excellent session for Steve Lamacq - he will probably give it a few spins, as fer the other gobshites who work there - we'll just have to wait and see.....here's hoping :nod:

Actually it also depends on how well the MOVIE is doing...

If they promote the movie with that song, etc...

But still, I don't know if that movie will make it across the Atlantic ocean...!

1 Feb 2002, 09:19

Lets not forget that the last time new order worked with the chems (kind of) was out of control... which didn't do so well in the charts....

Not wishing to be pedantic, but it was 60 Miles An Hour that Mark and Lard had as their record of the week. Obviously didn't give it too much of a boost...! But they're bound to play it a couple of times.

Sara Cox, who gets a good-sized audience, is always going on about how much she loves the Chemicals, so perhaps a few spins on the breakfast show is a possibility. And you'd think Jo Whiley would play it...blimey Charlie, looks like a sure-fire number one! :D

HERE To STAY IS ON AUDIO GALAXY IM DOWNLOADING IT NOW

1 Feb 2002, 09:38

Hoax alert methinks, sounds nothing like Barney, Sounds pish aswell, bit of a hookey bassline but very scared if this is it.

1 Feb 2002, 10:21

1 Feb 2002, 10:42

Major it's definitely blag, I listened to it twice and deleted it.

They did have Crystal as single of the week.

BTW I went to watch Jon Carter play at The End (along with Darren 'God' Emerson) last Saturday, and as usual he had Coxy in tow. She was a right miserable bitch -talk about nightmare girlfriend. She did tread on my toe for which she apologised though...so thats some sort of claim to fame

1 Feb 2002, 11:33

Anybody know how long Here To Stay is supposed to be? This piece of shite is 4:26, be warned! The crappy thing is I recognize the band from the fake Here To Stay. When I was trying to find Get Ready, one of their songs was put up instead. The band is shite!!!

1 Feb 2002, 12:13

The 4.25 version at 160kps listed as just New Order Here to stay is the same shit

1 Feb 2002, 13:25

I downloaded that file and I can sure it's not real 'here to stay' Coz I'd got same track from audiogalaxy last year... as different name....Jesus! It's just a freak!

Nae bother - didn't know that about 60mph - we're not allowed Radio 1 anymore - cos of all the old gits complaining it's too fuckin loud - now we're tuned into Local Radio till 5pm (P.Collins, Sting, Westlife, SHITE) Anyway cheers for the info, Crystal was also their single of the week - they played it every day - the week before it came out;)

1 Feb 2002, 17:54

Single of the week is different to A list is it not?

I thought that if a record is on the A list this guarentees it so many plays per week so the fuckers will have to play it.

Okay, apologies if I got it wrong... They definitely had 60 Miles An Hour as Single of the Week, but I remember when Radcliffe was running through their singles of the week for the whole year (for their top five of the year for which the listeners vote, or whatever) there was no mention of Crystal. I remember thinking it odd that they'd chosen 60 Miles An Hour as a single of the week, but not (the obviously superior) Crystal. But you're probably right anyway....most of my Mark and Lard listening is done from September to June, being a :spit: student :spit: :)

Certainly is mate;) Please accept my humble apologies - I get confused rather easily, and Mickey boy I'll try not to let this happen again:D

I think Crystal was B-listed at Radio One... If it had been A-listed, I'd probably be sick of hearing it by now.

Yeah - that only managed number 21 - barely scraping the Top 20 didn't it?, but the reason was probably the usual one when bands release many singles off an album - Out of Control was the THIRD single after Hey Boy Hey Girl and Let Forever Be - each one did less well than the one before it. So let this be a lesson to those who think there should be more singles off Get Ready!! :nod:

I'm still hoping that, as a one-off, and with decent support, it should go top ten. But Top Five would be like winning the pools I suppose. :nod:

HTS is being used to promote the 24hr Party People Film which I reckon will give it a fair bit more publicity than otherwise.

With nostalgia (there's a great future in it you know ;))getting so much TV/press coverage in the UK these days....'I love 1980s'...'Rock & Roll Years'...'TOPT2' etc etc, the film should attract a decent level of exposure.

This 'A' listing issue with Radio 1 - reckon you're spot on with that Mickey. That dictates how many plays per week the single gets. DJs have v little say over what gets played. Heard an interview with Mark & Lard when they were presenting the breakfast show & they said they were allowed to self select 1 record per show!! Sometimes this was LWTUA.

Only specialist shows like Peel, Pete Tong & so on get away with avoiding the A list straight jacket.

There's a book all about the machinations & politics of Radio 1 called 'The Nations Favourite' by Simon Inglis if yer interested in all this type of stuff.

gee, i hope so...we have a pretty good theatre near me in Albany that if they don't so it, no one withing 300 miles will...so my fingers are crossed.

3 Feb 2002, 16:27

Well, it looks as if The Chemical Brothers are still managing to shift units as, just checking the album charts, they've gone in at number 1 yet again with their newie....

4 Feb 2002, 15:05

Noticed that too - well, if there is a God, then hopefully the collab, when it comes out, will do the decent thing and give NO the top five hit they've been starved off since 1993 then....

Simon Inglis, I think he's a Vile fan if he's the same bloke that does the reviews of the grounds.
