[speedfreaks ball]

does it work out at something like number 17 or 18 per single?

I can't believe Hold On To Your Friends was 47

 

[A Lonely Soul]

These figures leave me unperturbed given the pervasive trends of anti-intellectualism, anti-art and hyper-consumerism, and particularly their downward trend, don't bother me a jot.

Better to be loved by few than liked by many Moz.

Just compare the higher releases in the given weeks, the pattern will emerge.

 

[Bluebirds]

It may not bother you but it sure as hell bothers Morrissey.

At least he can console himself with being one of the artists with the most number of hit singles (solo and The Smiths) in UK pop chart history- citation needed?

 

[Bluebirds]

And whenever I do the lottery (very rarely) one of the numbers I pick is Morrissey's last hit single effort.... Lets hope he never gets a Top 75 "hit"

I can't believe Hold On To Your Friends was 47

it's easy to understand. the song has a lovely intro and a great verse but a feeble chorus melody.
ever found yourself whistling it?
see!

I can't believe Hold On To Your Friends was 47

And the extended Moonriver B-side on the 12" was completely pointless.

 

[Emotional Guide Dog]

Are you kidding? It's a fabulous song. It only got to 47 because it had a bobbins b-side twice over!
