Post by: Fletch on September 15, 2009, 01:55:53 PM: Its funny to me (not having paid any attention to charts since i was 16 yrs old!) but i can`t imaging MKs solo stuff being remotely popular enough to enter any charts!!! I don`t mean that in a bad way, its just the crap i hear on Aussie Radio is nothing i want to listen to, mostly.

I can imagine Mark having a boost in sales around November 11th, but there are no real `modern` radio hits with this new stuff. Forgive me, i`m off to listen to Summer Of Love and Monteleone...

Is this the official chart position for Germany? You know, the mediacontrol one... Because last time I checked, GL wasn't even in the top ten. Little confused ???

Post by: superval99 on September 20, 2009, 08:13:22 PM: "Get Lucky" is #9 in UK charts! :)
Title: Re: Get Lucky Chart Positions
Post by: shangri la 1 on September 20, 2009, 11:26:02 PM: # 47 "FIRST WEEK-IN" in Australia. probably will drop out next week?

Mark is hardly known here with just 1 tour since 1992, and no radio play at all that I am aware of.
I think Fletch wrote in another thread, a lot of Aussies radio stations have zero taste when it comes to the music they churn out.

This is the kind of thing I used to get upset about, but now I look at the long game. I remember being really upset that Robson and Jerome got to number one ahead of The Beatles' comeback single in 1996, but since then I've come to realise that there are a load of fucking idiots in the world and it doesn't really matter that they buy shit music, I just keep out of their way. Remember, Peter Andre can't sell out the Albert hall for a week. And if MK could be bothered reforming Dire Straits he would sell a lot more albums, but clearly he doesn't care.

Post by: ingridswing on September 21, 2009, 11:07:29 AM: I really don't bother about it anymore. Here in Holland there are some singers that really don't deserve the name. They have songs which are only good enough when you drank at least 10 pints, then you can sing along with it and don't feel ashamed anymore. But... it seems people who didn't drink buy it as well in big numbers. It's not even music! Most of the time eletronic devices only!

Post by: superval99 on September 21, 2009, 11:20:06 AM: What irritates me a bit is that "Border Reiver" didn't even get in to the "A" list on BBC Radio 2 and even then it was played at some strange times! ::) I hope they try a lot harder when "Remembrance Day/Piper to the End" comes out as the single for the Poppy Appeal. :-\

It will be criminal if Remembrance doesn't do well in the charts..... It's all down to the promotion sadly and if they don't pull their fingers out of where the sun don't shine than I will be do disappointed :-[

Yes! Everyting is like it's supposed to be 8) Wonder if it climbs to no 1 next week. Depends on what other music that's beeing released, I guess. Have you heard if he'll do some promo in Norway again? "Skavland" is back on Friday nights, so it wouldn't surprise me if he ducked up there. And this round of "Skavland" is broadcast in Sweden as well.

By way of comparison On Every Street reached 12.

Of course chart position don't count for everything as it depends on how much everything else has sold that week. But never the less, this is still equalling his best chart position since going solo, so quite an achievement. :)

Hard to believe it would be cost because MK tickets are far cheaper that other artists tickets. I consider going to see him great value for money - no one can complain about the price.
