All I’ve done today is sell copies of this single!
MadonnaTribe’s Team member Tonybecks has just been into HMV Oxford Circus in London, Europe’s largest record store in Europe – and scene of Madonna’s showcase for American Life to pick up his copies of the “Hung Up” 2 CD set that has been released in the UK today.
“Went up to the counter and they have got a massive Confessions On A Dance Floor display behind the main bank of tills – looks fab”, he says. “The display has the handwritten title and logo across and then the album cover. It must be 15m long at least. Also – as you walk in the door – “Hung Up” is the only single to have it’s own display – a rack about a metre high containing loads of copies of the single as well as a couple of shelves full of the German 1995 reissue singles! You really have to search to find that S.O.D single. Hurrah.”
“Gave the guy my CDs and he goes “I’m so bored of this” and I was like “What?” so he goes “All I’ve done today is sell copies of this single!” so I grinned and asked if it was selling well and he said it was selling “extremely well”
The only bad news is that their stock of 12″ singles has not arrived from the distributor and he said if theirs hasn’t then neither will anywhere elses. He checked and confirmed the release date for the 12″ hadn’t changed.
MadonaTribe Forum member Tk2 got his 12″ from Virgin Picadilly Circus, where they have got loads and Hung Up is piled up on every counter!
Thanks to Tony and Tk2
