I'm nipping this one in the bud right now. Celebrating that a British person selling records in the States is lame. No one should care about the Arctic Monkeys sales figures but the band, their manager, and their record company. It's like poring over opening weekend grosses. As I say: lame.
Worse is despairing that James Blunt is number one in America. If you didn't give a shit what was top of the charts there last week, you shouldn't care now. I would be more bothered about the image of Englishmen that is being presented to Americans. But then Hugh Laurie and Simon Cowell are doing sterling work in overturning perceptions that we're all courteous gentlemen, so there is an antithesis out there.
