In the UK charts release today, Stomp falls down to number 58 on the singles chart, despite the Christmas shopping Buzz drops down to number 18 on the albums chart. The live video remains a non-mover at number three on the video chart!
At the half-way stage on the Dotmusic end of year poll, Buzz is currently placed at number three. We need to get it up to number one. So pop over to Dotmusic’s voting page and go into the Pop album section and of course place Buzz at number one giving it five points! The more votes the better and we should be able to move STEPS up the placing on the chart!

Thanks to Gary for this information:
” I was at a gig in Nottingham last week and Peter Martine was the DJ and he played the Sleaze Sisters mix (which he created) and advised that it will be on the new single.”

Interesting, as online stores still have it listed as one CD. Perhaps either we will have the strange issue of 2 CDs in January or perhaps it will have four tracks on the single. I have recently brought a couple of singles with four tracks and they have entered the UK Top 10. So perhaps a four track CD isn’t out of the question, just another possibility.

Thanks to Neil for pointing out that the G.A.Y performance has now been put back until January 20th.
