Luke Leighfield at number 5 in the indie singles chart

lukeleighfield [Edit] [Delete] 15:54, 22 June '08

Afternoon all,

I'm dead pleased to be able to say that my debut single 'If You Haven't Got Anything To Say' entered the indie singles charts at number 5 this week!

The chart looks something like this:

1) Infadels
2) Feeder
3) Sub Focus
4) Fightstar
5) LUKE LEIGHFIELD
6) Kills
7) Pigeon Detectives
8) Jamie Lidell

Thanks very much if you bought the single.

Some insightful words from the DiS review to close:

'“If you haven’t got anything to say, don’t say anything at all.” Aside from writing his own reviews, the only reason I can see for the continued existence of Luke Leighfield is that he’s an incredibly nice man. But all the good will in the world can’t stop ‘If You Haven’t Got Anything to Say’ overtaking ‘Chelsea Dagger’ as the worst thing I have ever heard. It’s music like this that gives the middle classes a bad name – boredom is not an effective response to boredom. It creates a horrible Zen circle of inertia that drags anyone unlucky enough to be within earshot into a purgatorial vacuum that smells overwhelmingly of potpourri and is fitted out like a branch of Claire’s Accessories. Still struggling to find justification for the tepid vocals, ‘comedy’ metal solo and lame keys, all I can muster is that Luke Leighfield remains the single most convincing reason to date why people like Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, Chris T-T and Scouting For Girls should be bound and gagged, sat in front of a mirror and made to watch as the oxygen slowly emigrates from their lungs.'
