No-one is betting on it

the shops are selling the darkness in droves

the 'cheap' 2 track format is doing the biz..

Umm, classic or dud, I suppose?

Well, I like the Darkness single so thumbs up to them.

If they rush-release a version of the Pop Idol tune sampling General Whatsisname saying "We Got 'Im!" they might yet salvage the situation.

the problem with the Pop Idol record is that it's performed by a bunch of losers, and one winner. maybe that is also true of The Darkness though.

To quote my infinitely wiser mate Thomas: "Gary Jules looks like a shoeshine from a James Cagney film".

You're better off checking betfair for better prediction results. I can't because there's a no gambling site filter in this bloody library.

thank baby jesus this is a triumph for real music over manufactured pap (don't you just love war years?)

The Darkness have released their single on three different CD formats in the race, one of which costs just £1.99, which is thought to be helping their chart chances.

That's so REAL! That's so STREET!

2 track inexpensive format? You bet it's street!

Sorry, but multi-formating hacks me off, Xmas or no Xmas.

Fair enough, but the two tracker is the one that's going to take over...

Not just meaning the Darkness single

Apparently, the Pop Idols single is being outsold, even, by Avid Merrion...

And apparently Travis won't even go top 40..

Ergo- British public likes war.
