I think the third album was way better than the first, full as it was of needless filler like "Soviet." Vivid, Twisted Tenderness, and Prodigal Son were marvellous. Unpopular opinion, I know, but then again this is a thread where we have people preferring an Electronic album to a PSB one, so you kn...

Dreamland down to #30 in the U.K AirPlay chart but increases its plays from 645 to 773.

I guess though this does suggest why they aren’t touring this album but are jumping straight to a Greatest Hits tour.

A down tempo album would be tuff to sell to a concert crowd.

Still Top 100 on I-Tunes can’t remember the last time that happened.

Last week Dreamland increased it’s plays from 402 to 645, its their highest number of plays in the U.K since Love etc.

And no, its not only Radio2 Dreamland was played 402 times in the U.K the week before last, and Radio2 played it what 15-20 times ! But of course it is the UK’s most popular radio station, so it has a huge impact.

Thats their highest position in 10 years !

And#55 in Wales.

Not in the Top 200.

Ultimate is at #170 in the U.K Top 200. It’s at # 19 in Downloads Album Chart , and Discography is at# 81.
Dreamland is at # 187 in the AirPlay chart down from #154 with 402 plays.

I think you’re right !

It seems like Dreamland, has kind of stabilized on I-Tunes it has not left the Top 100, and has now moved back op to #82. Ultimate has done the same it was down to #63 but has started to move up again, and is currently at #43.

From a legal point of view if they did release a new GH on the x2 label they would HAVE to re-record the hits wouldn't they? They can't release any Parly material.

Ot get permission from Parlophone, to do it.

And if they had released Dreamland in physical formats they could have reached the top 100, but that’s not what is important, concert tickets are !

If it wasn’t for streaming they would be in the Top 100 easily , at least they sold some albums, and more importantly they have sold a lot of concert tickets.
