Guesses on Get Ready's US chart position?

My totally uninformed off-the-wall guess: number 15. Rankings should be out tomorrow.

12

Maybe 13

Uncharacteristic indecisiveness on your part, Huntsy. Are you an aspiring tap dancer now?

Or perhaps I should have said tap tap dancer?

20 - always higher than you expect.

A top 10 would be class but unlikely. Mind you, would a top 20 placing not be bad considering how poorly other British bands do? Obviously not great per New Order standards but reasonable.

Considering apparent total lack of radio play, top 20 would be respectable, I'd say.

The number 12 has to come up sometime Patty otherwise I may as well pack up my old pyschic kit bag and head for the hills of hades with my pet guineau-fowl. The Electronic guesswork was flawed... tragically. You caught me unawaress.

12 and 13 are the psychic numbers of good (or bad) fortune in my life Pastrication. So, no indecision with the Humble Huntsman. Never attempted a tap dance on this or any other matter truth be told... however, I'm sure I would come in at least top 5 of UK tap specialists with a mediocre amount of rehersals. Tap Tap Town is where many of my new friends hang out... its very hostile here.

Speaking of people who seem to be able to do anything... we used to work for this guy who just, literally, wandered in from the blue into our office at our old address (not that that matters to the story but there you go). Anyway, he asked us to do some work so we thought okay, we'll do it. Unfortunately for us he was, erm, lets say, close to an eccentric. Irrespective of what the subject matter may be, he always seemed to produce a tall story (well, they were so outlandish and so many they had to be). To cut a long story long, he tripped over and had to have his tootsie in plaster... so in he stumbles using a crutch and moaning how life was so bad to him. As time had passed and we hadn't seen him for a while we assumed (after seeing his injury) that he was obviously resting. Oh no, he says

'last week, after my fall, I turned my mind to disabled sports and became the UK's no. 1 disabled swimmer'!!!! - what the fuck was he on about? - in a fucking week he'd managed this?

Needless to say we distanced ourselves from him.

Anyway, that's just one of my average days at work. Last night Patty, my girlfriend drew a tortoise on my foot! - I might take a snap and upload it on my profile.

I feel very stupid, Huntsy, for not recognizing the number 12 in your first guess. It is, after all, my eternal and never-changing age. I still do not feel that I fully understand the meaning of Tap Tap Town. I thought perhaps it was a fantasy image of a South Sea Isle where the sun always shines and the breeze always blows gently and cares are far, far away... and then you tell me it's very hostile. Perhaps filled with Afghan refugees. Is the tortoise somehow related?

Spot-on with your 'Tap Tap Town' assessment. This is what I imagined. Unfortunately the place got ugly around midday and the natives became restless. I might scarper and leg-it to the bahamas.

The tortoise is in no way related to anything... other than my feet. Which, co-incidentally, I rarely wash.

Weirdo

I used to be a frequent visitor to Key West, which is not all that far from the Bahamas.

Well, if it could only manage a crappy number 6 in the UK, I'm sure its US debut won't be much better.

#44 tops, I'd say. I'd be surprised if it goes higher.

We'll find out tomorrow.

Ideally: 5-10 Reality: Somewhere b/w 10-40 (or lower, God forbid)

I'm gonna take Huntsy's lead and say 12 or 13.....

How did Crystal do in the Billboard Top 100 i.e. not specifically the dance chart?

Oh boy...I'm fuckin' goosed....guess it's time for bed....

see you all here same place tomorrow...... :sleepy:

number 32. thats an uneducated guess. i have no idea what the US music market is like.

I would say MG is the winner here.

See above proclamation of MG as the winner.
