Title: Re: The Smile Sessions enters the UK album chart... Post by: shelter on November 06, 2011, 01:01:45 PM Does this suggest the 'general public' is buying this or just us?! I would say a little bit of both. I know quite a few people who aren't Beach Boys fans but who are interested in 'Pet Sounds' and 'Smile', because they're both generally accepted as essential records for any comprehensive pop collection. And it probably doesn't hurt that the average Beach Boys fan is more likely to buy a physical record than, say, a Coldplay, Katy Perry or Jay-Z fan. Those artists are simply not as collectable and their fans are generally younger and not as attached to the concept of a physical record as "we" are.

The #15 they're stating was accurate for the mid-week chart: note the date of the article. Title: Re: The Smile Sessions enters the UK album chart...

Post by: Loaf on November 07, 2011, 02:38:06 AM One thing to consider is how many people on here actually bought a copy that would count towards the charts?
I spent £128 on 5 CDs, but none of this counted. Title: Re: The Smile Sessions enters the UK album chart... Post by: Shady on November 07, 2011, 03:23:13 AM You guys have to agree apart from some interviews the promotion was pretty non existent, at least compared to releases from Pink Floyd and the other big box sets this year..
So with that, these placings are really great, and trust me the word is spreading and spreading, people are hearing SMiLE And hey, it did better than U2 ;D |
