Oh, by the way, well done Bloc Party for getting their second album, 'A Weekend In The City', straight in at number 12 in the US Billboard Top 20 - a not inconsiderable achievement for an independently signed UK artist. And this despite the fact they had to abandon a US tour last year after drummer Matt Tong suffered a collapsed lung. So, well done them. Bet that's cheered them up - getting an official "well done" from CMU. I've heard that's what most bands live for these days. In fact, they might as well pack up now, there's nowhere to go once your got your CMU "well done". Hey, on that logic, "well done Westlife".
