Fury makes #60 in UK

So, Fury makes it to #60 on this weeks UK chart.

Hardly surprising - I had no idea it was actually released and its certainly had precious little airplay.

Frankly I'm surprised it made Top 75 at all.

I'm in the Uk too. haven't heard it and didn't realise it had been released here. I take it there's no decent b-side to make it worth buying?

I'll check out HMV at lunchtime but I'm not expecting to find a copy!

I think 'Love' might be the b-side but if you have 3121 already there's no reason to buy the single

...who did buy it, I wonder!!?

The B-side is "Te amo..." & "fury" live from the brits, with the clip aswell..

Well in that case it could be worth buying. I know the Brits d/l is available at NPGMC but in a way I'd rather have it on old fashioned CD as my PC is tempermental at the best of times.

BLOODY AWFUL!!!

The Cd has 'Fury' and 'The Brits' Audio and PC Video of 'Te Amo Corazon' & 'Fury'.

Terrible chart position. The promotion in the UK is utter shite.

I wanted to buy the single for the Brits performance on the weekend, but my local HMV didn't even have it. I'm quite surprised that it made #60 at all if you can't even buy the single.

I bought it on CD and on Vinyl, both from my local HMV. The vinyl is purty, I'm gonna put it on my wall.

Ok. I found it at HMV but what's with the audio of the Brits performance being just TAC and Fury and not Purple Rain / Lets go Crazy too??

I haven't wasted my £ on half a performance... whats that about?!

Is it a WB rights issue?? Whatever the reason, they can't expect fans to be buying singles that dont have either a remix, a new b-side or a track from the vault.

Methinks Universal are just about done with 3121 as of now.

I'm surprised it got this high in the charts as it really wasn't readily available on the high streets.

You only need to sell one box of CD singles to make it to #60. wink

Ditto.


Guess I'll go back to Dream Factory and relive the golden era instead!

The distribution of this single wasnt great either. At Music Zone in Halifax they didnt have it on release day. I mean you cant do that and expect it to chart in the top 40. Even if any1 did have it on time they just order ten and put them in the Prince singles section (if there is one) and give it no shelf space or promotion whatsoever. As 4 radio play...its practically non- existant....however if u r Madonna her songs get played about 3 times an hour....annoying and unfair.
