He really is obsessed with chart positions.
I work for hmv , there was an article in the telegraph how we are back as a profitable company , essential and relevant to the record companies and through instore signings / performances can be the difference between a number one or not. Ed sheeran has been out for 4 weeks now , so sales have slowed on it now but it is still our bestseller ( it sold more than the rest of the top40 combined week of release ). About 2 months ago i spoke to boz on facebook about sounding out if moz would fancy doing a few instore signings the week of release ..... london , manchester , etc etc . I got back a polite but blunt " not my department " ... i dont know if he even asked moz or not but you would think that if he is this bothered about getting number 1 he would consider it .... say mon , wed , fri ... you could do a fair bit of damage and he would have def jumped the gingerwonderkid . Hopefully the blanket brill reviews will do the job anyway , and we dont know if he is still ill but a bit of effort on promotion would surely have helped .
is the myplaydirect not a 'chart return shop' for uk or outside of uk?
if you work for hmv why didnt you get in contact with HMV Events Manager? Who deal directly with labels....
Because he's a cashier...
He would have mentioned him by name in a way, Julia passes on the information Morrissey gives doesn't she.Well, he does care about chart positions but this statement is not a direct quote from Morrissey so I wouldn't have thought he actually mentioned the ginger one by name, Ed seems like a nice guy but his records are dramatically unspectacular.
He's some ginger twat.
Contact details are on HMV Staff Intranet....

Think they still count too .... the physical shops mentioned are just where you can physically walk in and buy and count towards official sales ... think thats the case anyway.I've pre-ordered both CD versions of the album on Amazon and I've pre-ordered the deluxe from iTunes. Does this mean that none of these will count towards chart positions?
I am a manager , and know the events guy personally .... we have tried before via official channels to no avail ..... so thought via boz would be a bit more direct ( this was during the us tour) .... if i had got a sniff of a possibility then that would have been the next step .... just seems he has no interest in putting himself out there....shame .
"Intranet" ? Inside info there

I see, which store are you based at, if i may ask?
