I cannot believe Sex,Age and Death only got to number 134.Sad,very sad indeed.

.

rekamakovics · In the Long Grass

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

oh dear the albums in the US

oh well they did pretty well in the UK. Thanks for posting that list, it's a good reminder, I'd forgotten many of the exact chart positions of some of those.

ArrGee, how did you find that? Google? What was your search? I'd like to find that for Germany (where, for example, Banana Republic went to number one - because, as Bob said, "the Germans thought it was about Germany", lol!).
