No one's interested in your gig nights - but you don't really go to Stranglers gigs do you? And you walked out during one. according to Barry?

You're dodging the question! Praps photogenic Spooner has hit a raw nerve? In the words of Nirvana, never mind (the bollo, as Ian Dury would say!)

The charts don't mean a fat lot to me anymore.I don't think they mean a fat lot to anyone anymore do they unless I'm mistaken or if you're Simon Cowell? However,I do remember the old days of going into a record shop each week and looking on the board in somewhere like Woolies to see where The Stranglers had ended up and on that first week of release seeing if they'd made the top forty or if they were just languising in the top seventy five.I'll be downloading it and I've joined the Facebook group,but someone will have to explain what and where you do it for us Philistines who don't bother normally.

does someone want to hassle EMI into getting the single registered with PPL? If it's not on the database three weeks before release then it's not going to be chart eligible anyway. They have until Monday....

Here's what we're up against.

The latest single by Madness has had airplay, promotion and is available in physical formats but still only managed number 199!

Just in case you've not heard from any other source, Forever Young
saw Madness return to the charts last week after the disappointment
of Sugar And Spice.

Sadly it was still a glorious failure, reaching number 199 on the
main singles chart and 24 on the indie singles chart. It also managed
to fall to 89 from its new entry peak of 64 on the national airplay
charts.

Hopefully any future single releases will take advantage of chart
rules and any remaining Madness completists and be released on 3
physical formats (7", 7" pic disc and CD) PLUS the downloads. If
Cliff Richards can get to number 40 in the singles chart with 6,000
sales (nearly all on 7") then Madness ought to be able to too.

That said, Forever Young still became Madness's 38th single to chart
in the UK (39 if you count the 2Tone EP from 1993). That's quite some
record (and that's quite some pun!). It is, of course, their lowest by
some way with What's That being the next lowest at 92.

By my reckoning 4 have failed to chart completely. In chronological
order they were: Our House first Virgin reissue, It Must Be Love
(Tall Guy reissue), Girl (Why Don't You?) and Sugar And Spice.

I have made progress in my attempts to catalogue all of Madness's
album chart positions and should be able to report on this in a few
weeks. So far I've managed to establish that Madness have 489 weeks on
the top 100 (or 504 if you count Dance Craze (which I don't Mr CCP!)).
Hopefully the 500 weeks can be passed this year as Salvo/USM look to
release more of the brilliant back catalogue.
