I would love a Blu-ray... the HD stuff on Youtube is nice but the Kieron Evans vids deserve a better quality release IMHO.

We're spoilt though really, I mean when you see HD Youtube compared to the sub-VHS stuff we used to watch on TOTP or MTV...

They basically had a bug that meant some passwords were in plaintext briefly (on their internal network). So it's not like they were definitely compromised, but they possibly could have been.

so as I only live 30 mins away from the Maidstone studios where Jools Is filmed - I applied for tickets via their ballot before they were even announced.

They've only got the bloody Manics on the night I have tickets for - result!! !

Down to 22 on the album chart. (2-13-22)

To be honest that's not too bad better than expected really, possibly casual gig goes picking it up.

Yeah I was expecting around 30 today for the album so was pleased to see it at no.22 but hopefully it can continue to sell over the coming weeks, what with the tour just coming to a close and Jools Holland show coming up soon. Maybe Heaven will become a huge radio singe and people will buy it or the album.

These are the sales for these album positions, so going by that you could estimate the Manics sold just over 3,000 copies this last week.
20 Van Morrison & Joey DeFrancesco 3,228
26 Skindred 2,815

Very pleasantly surprised it's only gone down to 22 for the third week.

I always wonder how many sales on each new MSP album are for completely new fans or for lapsed fans who haven't bought an album in ages.
