did anyone reall expect this record to do well in the charts? It's hardly got mass appeal has it? Electronic-music lovers will know about it; UW have had articles in a few of the big DJ magazines, and album reviews all over the internet. I've seen them mentioned in newspapers and on tv multiple times so I don't think it's for a lack of promotion or attention.
(anyway, it's already down from 45 to 99 this week).
It looks like it
reached nr 15 in Holland, the 3rd highest entry after EE and AHDO.
Just because the albums aren't selling in huge volumes in the first couple of weeks doesn't neccesarily mean it's gonna do badly either. I think underworld's albums will continue to sell over a longer period of time than some of the big chart toppers anyway. Don't forget they just cancelled the whole european tour as well. Once that starts rolling again I'm sure it will bring a few new sales as well.
