Regarding Discography, I think it ‘bombed’ because the singles around it were a huge drop in quality - tracks after being boring took a nose dive, though they were still ok, just not up to the previous long run of classics. Dj culture was also a terrible single choice and probably lost them a lot of casual fans just prior to release.
Go West like main single of Discography.
I don't know maybe they had plans to release Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you) for Discography at first and when they saw BB was a flop, they changed their minds.

Oh cool contrafactual wondering. Discograpy released in 1992 with Go West as lead single and then Was it worth it as final track on Very... followed by Postscript... what a great combination. That version of Very would've probably reached nr 1 as well riding on the Go West wave.

It's actually done really well over time. Estimated over 5 million copies sold worldwide. However, upon release, its kinda did bomb. So did PopArt.
That was fun. Regular It's a sin version was played, not the Brits version. The extra backing vocals worked nicely. Dreamland was good, I should listen to it more, it's a banger.
Thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
That was my first time listening to Dreamland.
I think I'll give Hotspot a first listen this evening during Champagne bottle No. 2!

Nice to see them at the start of the new year. Thought they did a good performance. And both looking good- though it makes me chuckle how Chris has adopted the face mask as a way to destroy disguise himself even more! Every (pandemic) cloud has a silver lining!
