Manic Preacher gutted that single missed out on top 40
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 7 February 2011
I didn’t even notice that the last Manics single only reached number 44 in the charts, but the band’s Nicky Wire certainly did.
Talking about the track, ‘Some Kind Of Nothingness’, to Absolute Radio, Wire said: “I was quite distraught that our single, missed the top 40. I was gutted”.
He added: “My excitement always turns into a real dose of fear when I’m waiting for a chart position or to find out whether the radio’s going to play our record. It’s like waiting for that envelope to drop through the door and seeing you’ve got a D in geography”.
The band’s next single, ‘Postcards From A Young Man’, is out at the end of the month. Come on guys, think of poor old Nicky, get your pre-order in now.
