More singles means more b-sides though! And keeping the CD alive as well!

Yes, that's what I've been always afraid of...Since I was born...that there would be too much Manics on the radio!

Think of all the singles that the Manics have released since Tolerate and when do we ever get to hear them on the radio? Hardly ever! More Manics airplay!

I agree, I wouldn't complain if the Manics got a lot of coverage particularly as I don't listen to the radio that much, so it would still excite me a bit. This doesn't apply to YLAINE and Auntumnsong however, as I did not want the masses comparing the Manics to that!

Radio 1 seems to deny they even exist!! (Except Zane Lowe with the Peeled Apples debut).

YLAINE and Autumnsong are Manics songs and I love them so ner-de-ner!
Yeah, R1 has always seemed to have a problem with later Manics stuff. You wouldn't actually know they had released anything for 10 years if you weren't a keen fan!

(that's KEEN and not KEANE by the way! )

And You still should be very satisfied in UK. To hear Manics here in Czech republic, wow that's a rarity. Only two years ago or when I heard a bit of Indian Summer and a bit of talk about Manics but it was insane I didn't understand it at all, probably a Manicsfan DJ (who was immediatelly sacked)

Don't worry Jakub. We here the Manics as often on the radio here as you do in the Czech Republic! (Well ok, we might get ADFL and Tolerate quite a few times more but that's about it!)

ME is quite common and I've heard FDTW the odd time.

what I really love about UK is that when I entered a pub in Birmingham a few years ago I was welcomed by The Smiths. And then even if not my favourite still good bands played. This is somthing that really cannot happen here.

Sounds like a good pub, there's none like that round here anyway.

Think if the press and pre-release publicity go well and covers like NME, Classic Rock, Mojo etc play the 10th album and mass communication slant it could be No 1 but No 2 probably. I think that's what the band are going for, a No 1 album.

It does depend upon what else is released that week but after SATT and JFPL both having really good support this could be big. I hope so the boys deserve it.

Well I'd imagine the band always want their work to sell well and chart well, who wouldn't?
Hope some early promotion starts getting under way in the next month or so.
