...it transpires that Aly & AJ didn't just fail to make the top 10, they missed the top 20: 'Potential Breakup Song' languishes at No 22, and that's with physical releases. Sadfaces all round. What doomy conclusions can we draw from this? Personally, I think if that song can't be a big hit, nothing of its ilk can, and the UK can officially be declared a pop wilderness.

On the plus side, that nasty Sex Pistols reissue thing is nowhere to be seen.

That's interesting, especially as I experienced the same thing today with the new Underworld album, which was released this morning. Only worse... I went into the big HMV at Bond Street to buy a copy and was told that they've had a problem with their suppliers and none came in. Shocking to think that a CD by an act as well known as Underworld would be unavailable in one of London's largest branches of HMV on the day of release.

Is this possibly related to the postal strike? I wouldn't have thought HMV receive their stock by post, but stranger things have happened!
