    That Virgin on Aston Quay is a Supervalu now. Long gone. Charts are awful things as they are so poorly worked. If music shops had a central system of recording sales maybe it could work but its always open to manipulation. Anyways most of the bands I like never chart!

    I heard before a lot of bookies won't take bets on the charts because it's so predictable.
    Also I think it was Ronan Keating said before that they were saying to Louis Walsh that Boyzone (still together at the time) were so popular, why weren't they playing bigger venues? Louis took him outside, opened the back of his car and showed Ronan stacks of singles that he had bought to push the latest single to number 1!

    They did indeed. Bizzarely it's also reported that they made a tidy profit from the lecture tour, appearance fees on televised debates and screening rights to show the film of a million quid going up in smoke.

    it would've been. I recall Bill Drummond going head to head with Joe Elliot from Def Leppard who in an exercise of complete point missing slated them for not giving the million quid to charity.

    He was then challenged by Drummond as to why a chap as wealthy as Elliot obviously was had never felt an inclination to hand over a million quid to charity himself.

    I hate 'Baker Street' for making me hate saxophones.
