The early midweek chart position for Exotic Creatures Of the Deep in the UK album charts is number 26

Thanks to everyone who has bought the album already

If you haven't....please do so this week...every sale from a store or official digital retailer will count towards this chart position but please don't put it off until next week!

And if you need to buy a copy for a friend, neighbour, family, work colleague, stranger please do so this week!!!!

A heartfelt thank you.

Yahoo. Wonderful, finally, people are waking up to how amazin' Sparks really are. It's a fab album, just bought mine today. Every song is a gem, "This is the Renaissance" is stunning but my favourite song of the album is "Good Morning". Go Sparks!!!! MiniPop

HMV in Crawley has plenty of copies left...was toying with having a word about why the album wasn't on the "New Releases" stand at front of store...but couldn't wait to get home to get the CD on the player!!

I think I'll go out and buy myself the other CD today, the one with Russell on the cover. Every little helps.

My little girl has declared she would like a copy to sit snugly between her Britney Spears and Ashley Tisdale CDs so I can justify buying a third!

As Townsend Records appear only to have despatched mine yesterday I will see if Amazon can get it to me quicker!

I did consider getting a few extra and handing them around the neighbours - they all think I am the quaint eccentric from England anyway!

It's Number 54, well done to the guys this is the highest charting album since Indiscreet.

I think we all know it should be Number 1 though!

Great news! It's just possible that the enormous financial chance Sparks have taken with the 21x21 gigs will pay off in terms of exposure leading to album sales.
They really deserve it.
