Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room The Human League - Credo

44 in the UK album charts this week. Some success at least.

Is that the definite placing? I beleive it was as high as 22 mid-week (BBC charts).

UK Album Charts

It does seem to be the case, which is a great shame - I was hoping to see it in the top 20 at least. It deserves it.

I suspect it will disappear out of the top 100 altogether next week - if so it will have performed identically to Secrets (which spent I week in the UK album charts at position 44).

If Never Let Me Go could make an impression on the singles chart things may be different.

I think "Get Together", "Sky" or "Electricity" would make really good singles.

In Germany, I believe the second single has been "Egomaniac" rather than "Never Let Me Go".

It might be the "Interplay" effect but I just can't get my head around Credo ...
darn ...wish they'd issued it a few months earlier.

Hmm. I'm surprised at that, MD. First impressions weren't so good, but over the following days, I probably listened to Credo MORE than Interplay. Addictive. Though there are still at least 3 songs I skip almost every time.

I do think though that two good albums out at the same time is always cause for a bit of musical confusion.

Agree with you Alex, "Credo" on first listen sounded very bland but the more I have played it the more I have got into it, a bit surprised it reached only 44 on the album chart and now it's disappeared from the chart completely after 1 week. Not convinced Wall Of Sound have done a good job of promotion at all!

Well having said that I gave it another spin last night and to my surprise I found I was already quite familiar with most, if not all the tracks. It's all very "instant" .. maybe would have preferred somthing a bit more subtle .. something that really takes time to grow on you.
