how many flac (of if they were cheap mp3) copies of the grey wolves' 'catholic priests fuck children' lp would a determined polemicist have to purchase before they could get it into the top 75

The Cilla Black single campaign flopped last month ("Anyone Who Had a Heart" no 41), seemingly because everyone who was interested bought the best-of instead.
It worked in Germany this week – Die Ärzte's 'Schrei nach Liebe' went to number 1 as an anti-Nazi protest. It's not that much of a surprise - they're enough of a mainstream band to have been number 1 before. Also they're REALLY fucking good. That helps.
