Number 1 in the Indie Chart.

Saw his new video for first time last night, actually like it more than his original material.

Shocked he made top 10 though, well done to him.

He's not a flop then. He just needs better promo, a slot on the Results Show would be fantastic.

Crap chart position per se but actually an over-achievement for such a dull and uninspired record. It'll plummet down the charts from here.

See your allowed to post again - oh well it's only a matter of time before you get yourself back on the naughty step I suppose.

It's already up on Spotify.

All the best to him now he's out of the clutches of Syco. He clearly wasn't the chosen one.

Well spotted. You see better than you hear it would appear. I reckon I can last a couple of weeks. Matt'll be out of the top 60 by then I reckon so hardly worthy of further discussion.

it's all about context really. Leona's fans were slashing their wrists she failed to get no1 and Matts' are happy he got top 10...those are the perks of lower label expectations. If Cardle gets decent sales this week and the next few he could have started on a sustainable career outside of Cowell etc. If this weeks sales aren't great and aren't followed up it might be more borderline.

It's an interesting test case

It's good for him. He was aiming for the top 10 (and from his facebook updates recently, he was worried he wouldn't even make that.....)

Top 10 for the lack of promotion he has done is quite good.

I was just having a little joke with Popsmartz. He has a sense of humour and took it in the spirit with which it was meant.

I see you have only just joined DS - so glad to see you know the in and outs of the rules book already. If I didn't know better (due to your joining date) I would have believed firmly you were an old hand at posting here. Congratulations and welcome.

Another unconstructive post that has nothing to do with the thread topic.

I think that is great position for Matt behind some big sellers and without radio promo (is that right?) I haven't heard it on radio? or seen him on the big shows for tv promo. Hopefully it weill continue to sell steady from now until xmas.

I am not a great fan of the falsetto so this album isn't for me but glad his fans have got the album they want and Matt gets to carry on doing what he loves.

Sainsburys plugged his album (and nothing else) straight after X-factor in my ITV region. I was quite surprised.
