well, the iTunes generation seems to have taken to some band called The Beatles or something like that, so download sales might take a knock.

i'll be impressed if it gets into the Top 40.

No higher than 35 is my other guess.
Either the Radio 2 listeners, or a couple of fans will get annoyed at other fans not caring and mass buy a few thousand copies each.

Top 30. It won't even be the highest new entry because Plan B's new single is released the same week.

Gutless Wonder, you can always take a Sharpie, and write #1 in front of it.

I'll sneak all the CD singles of SKON into the No 1 spot at my local HMV. No one will notice me, I'm stealth-like!

I'd probably do a double-take if I ever heard a Manics song on my radio.

We don't get a radio where I work now, we used to, and it was on Red Dragon FM mostly. They played YLAINE and Autumnsong endlessly. Are they doing that with this one?

It might scratch the top 40, even 30.

Sorry - I know I asked this before but I can't find the answer. When we buy the multi buy does that count as 1 sale or 3?

I won't be buying any of the formats, so it'll be the first single since LRS I have refused to buy for being a shit single choice.
