Here To Stay - back in the Top 10?

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....

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....

Originally posted by Johnny Giles 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.

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