[dentalplan]

Not about to get rekt by people who put SOPHIE on at parties and wonder why they’re not invited to the next one.

Are they at their commercial peak now?

Spotify streaming numbers (not always the best metric, I know) are massively down on previous albums. TBHC literally has about 10% of the numbers that AM does, that's unheard of really if you compare it to new music from other big names.

I haven't delved that far into it in fairness, I guess I was looking at it more from the creative side. They're still selling out arena's around the country and as far as I'm aware, doing well in Europe/America. I know first hand from trying to get tickets for the Manchester gigs when they went on sale, it was incredibly difficult.

I couldn't tell you about Spotify numbers but as of right now, there aren't many bigger bands out there who are active. 

For what it's worth I don't think they will headline next year but I think there's a lot of people who are trying to discount them because they can't get their head around the new record

What happened to Kylie? I thought she was a favourite?

Favourite for the Legends slot, not headliner.

I think this seems like the perfect time to start my arguments on why its definitely going to be Daft Punk. 

Daft Punk, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd subbed by Stone Roses, Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles holograms.

 

Book it in your diaries now (untill we get the poster and they are nowhere to be seen).

They do sell lots of tickets and they're definitely still headline material any which way you look at it, Whether or not people like the new album is a subjective thing.

But as far as 'commercial peak' I'm not sure. I think the difficulty in getting tickets for their tour says more about how long they've been away rather than how popular their new music is, there'll have been a generation of teenagers for whom that will have been their first chance to see them live. Four Out Of Five is probably the most well known track from TBHC but was it a hit? Not really. Casuals could name lots from AM.

How long does Prince have to be dead before we can start a hologram rumour for him?

Muse headlined after The Resistance, I dont see why AM cant after their new album considering its better than the resistance.

I think they'll be IoW next year, Glastonbury in 2020. They'd be a worthy headliner but if Macca and The Cure are correct, I can't see (a) another all male headliner lineup and (b) them not doing IoW for the ££

Absolutely no reason why they can't and I hope they do, I just think if they have Macca and the Cure they'd maybe be looking for someone a bit more 'diverse' for the 3rd slot. Time will tell

Yeah, that's my take on it as well

What parties are you going to where everyone's clamouring for QOTSA?

Two nights ago I went on a house crawl and at one house was greeted with a one-two of Anderson .Paak and QOTSA when I arrived. Very eFestivals.

Think he told me he put on 4st 7lbs once and people asked him to switch it off.

No my flatmate did that after finding out I liked it and I was like wtf are you doing and everyone wanted it off.

[Winslow Leach]

There is precisely one QOTSA song (No One Knows, obviously) that's acceptable at parties, and even then you're straying dangerously close to Propaganda indie disco territory. 

[Gucci Piggy]

Fwiw it was The Way You Used To Do that was played on my house crawl.

[Winslow Leach]

Having a party in a few weeks actually, might just stick on the whole of Mother by Goldie and see what happens.
