Title: Devil/Winter
Post by: peternotbaldyet on July 31, 2016, 11:14:19 AM

What are the chances of a top 40 single and some radio airplay? We had to order the single separately from the cd/t - shirt bundle which makes me think that the band think it's a possibility. Also can anyone direct me to where I can hear Devil again please. I can no longer find the Steve Lamacq link and the track kept skipping when I had it.

Don't think there is any chance of a top 40 , do the single charts even mean anything now. I've never heard of 99% of the people in the single chart (maybe I'm just a old fcker though) Radio play well it will get some radio 6 and maybe radio 2 . Kinda sad that the so called rock stations don't play nma , used to listen to planet rock quite a bit at work etc when it was on air n nma were never even mentioned let alone played

I see, Rihanna, Sia, P!nk, Adele and Justin Timberlake in current Billboard single charts.

If you have never heard of these then yes, you must be pretty old :)

I never buy singles these days.  If someone wanted to buy the new single from a source that would register in the charts, how would they do it?  Is it even possible in regards to the new single?  I truly have no idea how it's done nowadays.

Pol, I know what you mean.  Apparently there's been a song at the top of the UK charts for 15 weeks by a guy called Drake.  Never heard of him or his tune.

Although you must have heard of DJ Flopwillie and The Trendy Muttonchuffers... selling out arenas all over the country, honest.  When have I ever wound you up about anything?   ;)

Without google, some of these djs have massive followings , never been my thing n I really struggle to understand it , I did look at the charts earlier, ok I see people like Calvin Harris and David getta who are kinda glorified djs . I would imagine that there is only a few hundred of the new single being made anyway
