Fightstar's Charlie Simpson, my second favourite former member of Busted (Matt Willis is my favourite, just in case you'd forgotten that) says that he and his band don't care how high their singles chart. That's probably just as well, given that their latest single release 'Hazy Eyes' only made it to 47.
Simpson told Digital Spy: "It's not about the singles. Singles are pretty irrelevant to us [and] pretty irrelevant in music these days. If you look at the drop of sales of singles in the last ten years, it's ridiculous. For us it starts with us. If we're happy with the music, that's the most important thing, and then it goes to the fans, if they're happy with it that's awesome, and then the critics."
To be fair, what they're producing is not a particularly mainstream sound, so you wouldn't expect their singles to be charting in the top ten. Although their first single made it to 9. I suspect that was because people were still thinking about Busted.
