Re: Morrissey Satellite of Love NUMBER ONE on charts

This is the thing with Morrissey and the American charts. If the Billboard charts were sales-only like for every other country in the world, Morrissey would have fared so much better. I'm pretty sure he may have actually had a number one. I think I remember seeing some song of his at number 1 in the 'sales only' chart in the early/mid 1990s.

Unfortunately the Billboard Hot 100 is a mix of sales and radio airplay, and I think airplay must weigh a lot in the mix because sometimes the song at #1 in the Hot 100 can only be found really low on the sales-only chart. I even think that nowadays Youtube plays weigh into the Hot 100 as well, which is just bananas if you ask me.

Breaking Up A Team Is Hard To Do: The Case Of Morrissey, Johnny Marr And The Smiths - Forbes
by Ruth Blatt

Excerpt:

In business as in personal relationships, there can be such a thing as a beautiful exit, one that “avoids, as much as possible, hurting the disengager, the other party, and the connected network.” Being good at relationships means knowing how to end it in a constructive rather than a destructive way.

Can't see who'll be getting this, what on earth will remastering specifically for itunes entail ?

"Mastered for iTunes ensures that music is delivered to the listeners with greatly improved audio fidelity, more closely replicating the intentions of the artists, producers and recording engineers."
