hypothesis about poor UK single sales

[dlangs@sunstroke.sdsu.edu (Derek Langsford)]

I was wondering why RBG has shown poorly in the UK singles chart.

Is it possible that Kate is now really an album artist?  That her music
is not going to appeal to the masses, especially when the average age
of the single buying public is barely postpubescent and must consider
KaTe to be an artist of yesteryear and the previous generation?  

Also, consider that the RBG single has two album tracks and an extended mix.
Not a lot of incentive for the average KaTe fan to invest hard earned pounds
in when the album is due shortly.  Remember, CDs cost more in the UK than
here and incomes are lower.  

I will not be surpised if TRS enters the UK album chart at No. 1
