It goes in at number 41 this week :( , I'll be surprised if there is a fourth single from the album.

Believe wasn't even chart eligible in the US, I don't think, because it wasn't released here. I really wished there was a US release of Believe - I wonder why it wasn't released here? Ah, the mysteries! It would've kept the steam of Push The Button going from Galvanize. With The Boxer's release, that means there was almost a full 6 months in between released singles from Push The Button, plenty of time for the album to run out of steam.



I don't know how The Boxer is going to do and I'm not going to make any predictions because the charts are so fickle. But when I look at the charts on Tuesday, I'll be sure and keep this place posted if I see a mention of the Boxer.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

I never buy single CDs, only maxis sometimes... Moreover, I don't like The Boxer that much. They should have picked anothe track fo the 3rd single, IMO

this is the common stereotype! But Americans, please stand up and show the opposite. Buy twice for each person!!!

But i think that track isn't that suitable for the masses.

So it's a no go for The Boxer in Melbourne or Hobart, or the Gold Coast either! It's not listed on EMI's Australian website nor on the Sanity or HMV websites. Methinks this is not coming to Australia anytime soon if at all! }:-@

I really couldn't give a flying fuck if it does well or not in the charts. Artists usually get over their heads when they get high in the charts a lot and then they want to be liked by everybody which will definitely influence their music. (i.e. give it that crappy commercial sound)



Oh wait, this already happened...
