I didn't re-chart "Nearer Than Heaven" but it did get to NM #4 last year.

The Divine Comedy was my 3rd highest entry behind I Am Kloot and Adam Green. Nice to see Belle & Sebastian are still your #1. I thought Billy Talent was only just released - but I don't think that much of it anyway. Travis were my 4th highest entry.

I hadn't heard of the Delays until a few months ago...

I don't always get it right with the release dates... sometimes they get delayed at the very last minute - the Three Doors Down single isn't out until May I believe

[Earl Purple]

yes, and some of them are pulled, and some of them never appear in HMV or appear there late yet reach the UK top 200.

Also they sometimes release a 7" and then release the CD later in the week. I didn't get the Keys one until the following week. Not the best thing they've done anyway (but then I've never really liked songs based on other songs, and From Tense To Loose To Slack is based on Apache by the Shadows).

[frag]

exactly how difficult IS it to pick a release date and stick to it?
