As posted at BBC - Radio 1 Chart - Top 40 Albums, and seen this afternoon at my Sainsbury's, beaten by Keane. --- sirgordonzola writes: Morrissey hasn't quite cracked it in the UK album charts this week. You are the Quarry has come in at No 2, with Keane's debut retaining the No 1 spot. At the Manchester gig, he said "7 more copies for No 1", unfortunately right. "Irish Blood, English Heart" fell to No 18 in the singles chart.

Who are Keane anyway? I bet Morrissey's sales overseas are much better than theirs...I guess I should have mail ordered mine.

I like Quarry. Its taken a while to grow, a dreadful old cliché yes, but apt. Its not perfect, but then who wants that? Its far more than we could expect from a 45 year old singer who could just sit in LA and soak up up the rays. Not to mention the Jeds.
He turning into the alternative Sinatra. More a icon, less a person. Though his TV interviews betray him exactly like he has been telling us all these years, Shy, ungainly, things to say. All those fans saying, 'I cringed when I saw him', what did they expect? Jim Carrey?

Music to drive an executive saloon to as part of your Starbucks-infested, magnolia-walled, Abattoir Garnier, laminate-floored lifestyle of empty mediocrity.
Well, you can all just FCUK off and die.

It's so wonderful that many people are listening to your songs, I play them all day-they are so fantastic! I love your voice, I love you too, Morrissey. The sound is very cool. It gives me the strength. Guitars are cool, drum is precise, key board is a good effect, sometimes comical, and your voice is goes up and down beautifully,-your songs makes me sing, Yesterday I was singing all day. I bought 3 albums for my friends, It's going to be No.1 next week for sure, because it's so wonderful! Ganbarimashita, Morrissey!

That said, we should all be thankful. Sanctuary (and to be fair, the man himself) could've done a lot less and we could be discussing whether No.34 was all right.

Irish Blood (understandably in my opinion) was hardly played at all on UK radio (didn't even make top 50 airplay). Couple that with mixed reviews for the album and it's amazing that Quarry did as well as it did.
People can overlook mixed reviews when they hear a fantastic single like TFOTGTD.

I was SO sure he was going to be at Number 1 in the album charts this week. Still, I'm (ever so very slightly) pleased that it was Keane that kept him from the Number 1 position and nothing as execrable as those two awful twats both singing the same pish, that kept him from Number 1 in the singles chart.
Still....the glass is half full, right? After the poor sales of "Southpaw Grammar" and "Maladjusted" is suppose this is something of major triumph. So congratulations all round to Mozz and The Lads, and thanks again to Sanctuary for at least having the guts and vision to really go out on a limb and properly and enthusiastically promote these fine records, and this exceptional artist.
