This is clearly some sort of joke.

He probably has enough money to buy truckloads of his own singles now.

yeah, i mean, god knows, i havent heard Bright Eyes played after "My Boo" anytime recently, so i guess not

Good lord, even as a joke I'm terrified.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

but he's the son of god. can't you see in the picture?

Hari Ashurst (Toaster), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

If that's the case, the son of God was within my presence once and the mighty spiritual stirring I felt was to reject him and all his works.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

me too, but what does that make us in the grand scheme of things?

Hari Ashurst (Toaster), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

We are the homo superior (which Conor has gotta make way for).

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

It's not a joke, but it's the singles sales chart... I like Lua, btw.

JoB (JoB), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:09 (twenty-one years ago)

So do I. Fuck the haters.

bnw (bnw), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Was talking to one of his PR peeps over the weekend who confirmed this. Whee.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:14 (twenty-one years ago)

sweat. suit.

miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

does anyone buy cd singles in the US anyway? i never see them for sale up here

Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I bought both of the singles, having heard them and concluding they were awesome.

I'm surprised something like this hasn't happened sooner, indie rock is one of the last vital markets for US singles sales.

Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

The Hot 100 measures both sales AND airplay, though. And the only stations playing Bright Eyes right now are reporting to CMJ, not Billboard.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:14 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, he's not in the hot 100 at all btw - usher #1, snoop #2

cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

"Hot 100" and "Hot 100 Singles Sales" are seperate charts, and the latter is only for 'premium' users on Billboard.com and not available to the public.

Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Snoop #2? That's cool. I haven't looked at that chart in a while.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:28 (twenty-one years ago)

yoko ono's got another #1 single btw

cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:30 (twenty-one years ago)

the best part about Yoko being #1 on the dance/club chart is that RuPaul is #2.

Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:33 (twenty-one years ago)

both of these singles are brilliant.

tk, Friday, 12 November 2004 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder if the albums are going to debut at 1 and 2. It could happen. They're coming out after the holiday rush is over.

Mike O. (Mike Ouderkirk), Friday, 12 November 2004 03:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Anthony is OTM, would someone pleeeeeeeeease photoshop Conor onto the covers of Sweat and Suit.
