Morrissey Doesn't Sell As Many Copies As P!aTD

[Jason Tate]

Morrissey (http://www.absolutepunk.net/morrissey) will debut at around #40 on this week's charts selling close to 27,487 copies of his new record here in the United States.

I believe he was #1 in the UK.

[OveriseFan]

disgraceful.

[Mitch]

Are those numbers any good?

[Drew Beringer]

At least the UK knows what's up.

[Mathus]

yeah, really.

[ben pequeno]

new cd was a disappointment.

How so? It's very Vauxhall meets Quarry IMO.

How so? It's very Vauxhall meets Quarry IMO. it was good, don't get me wrong. I really don't think it was worth a 97% in your review.

[B4theblackout]

i dont like Panic! but im glad they out sold morrissey. Yes i can feel the bashing of my allister forum name, but fuck morrissey (so overrated)

[Becca]

That is quite sad. I expected him to do better. The new album is great.

I'm bias.

you go, girl.

[MrBaileySays]

Morrissey. Oh Morrissey.

The first time I saw him, he was swinging on a rock on an episode of Beavis and Butthead. I can't remeber what they said about him, but I agree. That dude just doesn't do it for me. Neither does Panic! at the dick suck

[ben pequeno]

I'm bias. yes, i know.

I love Morrissey, but the Beavis and Butthead clip cracked me up.

As for ROTT being overrated, I don't know. I definitely like it better that Quarry. It doesn't have a weak track, except for At Last I Am Born, which had great music wasted by a lazy performance by Moz.

[robsmith]

the smiths were awesome, but morrissey is fucking wanker. but at least he's a wanker who makes great music.

[HotTubsMolest]

He is #1 in the UK, they also count the internet sales along
By the way, the overall album is great

[englishgothboy]

The UK has such good taste....hahahhahahahha

Oh how you all wish the smiths would reform!!!!!!

[SquidRoeQuo]

What the hell kind of country are we living in where an immortal rock god like Morrissey can be outsold by manic at the pharmacy?

Worst post I've seen here in the month or two that I've been reading these boards.

[Tom Da Bomb]

i guess the myspace album exclusive didnt help out too much.
or it did, and if so, what would of been his numbers without it?
sketchy

[ResideInMyMind]

i bought it. you are the quarry and viva hate are better, but i enjoy this release.

I don't know if he's ever been that big, or they even did much promo for the US release. Not sure though.

[El_Jeffe]

i'll be picking this up shortly.
i'd hope he has a decent run of
success with this album,
he deserves it

[dontgrabtindy]

sad

[TgE ARTdamage]

those numbers need to beef up.

panic is so much more overrated than morrisey it makes me sick. really.

It's a country where kids are told what to buy and have the attention span of chipmunks with A.D.D. They like their music transitory. When ever I see this new crop of kids at shows I think that they're going to be the ones telling their kids how "punk" or "emo" or "scene" they used to be. They'll all be over it as soon as a new fad comes along. Music doesn't really mean anything to them.
Plus Morrissey wasn't being promoted by Pete Wentz.

And to insert my own opinion of the new record. I really like it. I thought Quarry was better on the first listen of Ringleaders, but the second time I listened to it I heard how good it is. Morrissey has yet to disappoint me.

[FASSWcore]

what a shame...seriously.

Hey now, I work in a pharmacy, don't bring us nice, loving Pharmacy folk down to the level of P!ATD

[johnarc]

I really like the new record. some of the songs are questionable, but that's just how all morrissey records are. I can't think of one that is flawless start to finish, with the exception of "Vauxhall & I".

anyone who said anything negative about morrissey can get food poisoning and shit blood for three days straight for all I care. you're all dead to me now.

[Mr_Ian]

I don't think any Morrisey record will ever be flawless (yes, even Vauxhall) but this is still a great release, I'm so glad it got to #1 and people have shut up about the Arctic fucking Monkeys for 5 minutes. Seriously, they are so stupidly overhyped here it's frightening. Next up on the hype-ometer? the new Snow Patrol record is getting massive airplay on Radio 1...and it's like Final Straw part 2 not a bad thing but not a particularly good thing either...
