Of course we're not the largest fanbase and this fact make happy me too.
Anyway I don't think other bands have fans who are disposed to buy a second (or more) copy of one of their albums just to show them and in particular a member of that band how much they love this album.

We're not the largest fanbase, we know that... BUT we are probably the most dedicated and loyal groups of fans of any band worldwide. I'm not just saying that lightly either, I think us Manics fans are crazy fuckers - but that's a good thing!

A few spotty people sat outside a gig every tour does not a dedicated fanbase make. You should see the people that are into Lady Gaga, or Michael Jackson, or even N-Dubz.
