QuoteGasLightStreet ....As Mick said whenever, 1999 or 2003, if one can afford season tickets to the NFL, NBA or NHL they can afford Stones tickets. Unless the insurers decline, The Rolling Stones will be touring for years. Health, obviously, granted. You reckon? At their ages? How many years you reckon? At stadium level? Small clubs? I have to say, I can't agree about YEARS

Unloved by many it may be, but Forty Licks has justified its re-release, at least in chart terms, by remaining on the Billboard 200 for a second week. On the chart just issued Forty Licks is at No.81, a fall of twenty places. But the fact it is there at all is quite surprising. Frankly I thought it MIGHT pop onto the chart for a week before disappearing again. Possibly forever. I appreciate

Well Forty Licks has clung on to a chart placing in the UK for a second week. It's right there at No. 68 so sales will be minute. BUT it is a hit album (again) and it keeps The Stones name alive in a chart sense. I know I am very trainspotterish about all this, but, hey, how many other bands who have remained fully active for SIXTY years can do this? Way to go guys!

Earlier in this thread I said that Forty Licks had entered the UK Midweek Chart at No.20. However, midweek chart placings are not utilised in either computing or assessing chart history. Only the full chart week placings are used for that. The full week chart for the UK has just now been posted, and Forty Licks is in there at no. 39. As I suspected, sales tapered off as the week progressed. Ne

I remember Gary Puckett - and The Union Gap - very well indeed. Young Girl was a massive hit back home in the summer of '68. And I remember two other of his hits especially clearly too. Smaller hits for sure, but certainly played regularly on the radio.
