No, I don't!
Why is YHKM nowhere in the Billboard charts?
Not even in the Modern Rock one?

I think this says a lot about the current US music market. Billboard's singles chart takes into consideration the amount of airplay but this proves that no one is listening. You can play the latest rap "artist" to death on the radio but that doesn't mean anyone is going out and buying their single.

Moz, for the most part, has put out a good product. You get a single and 2 or 3 quality b-sides. As oppose to 10 different remixes you'll never listen to.

Forgive me, but if it only sold 3000 odd copies... And yet there are tens of thousands of people in America who'd go and see him live... Why didn't they buy the single? And both versions.

Surely every fan would buy it?

I'm certainly not having a go at our American friends, but it confuses me why so few bought it.
