Why do new Maiden studio albums get to number1 in Sweden but not Britain?

[Profanity]

Maybe because Britain is a homosexual nation and males care more about the biggest scene in Britain which is boy bands and pop idols.

 

[Alex999]

Quite probably true, but why do you say it as though it's a bad thing?

 

[Profanity]

Because boy bands and pop idols are an insult to music.

 

[Alexander TG]

You hit the nail profanity. I 100% beleive that most guys don't like the music and just go along with it beacuse all the girls do and beacse they want to be with whatever is 'in'.

Some corportate bastard somewhere has done a very good job of keeping metal down, brainwashing people into thinking metal is satanic and gothic. This is fine with me, I never like buying whats popular anyway,

Sweden is probably worse out than Britain when it comes to bad music anyway.
Reroute To Remain by In Flames actually got to the #5 spot *horror*
Makes me ashamed to be swedish.

 

[The Real Moonchild]

this comming from a westlife fan. quite amusing.

[Ninja Pyrate]

[Tangerine Dreamer]

I believe it has something to do with the fact that people drink goat semen in Sweden. :Spin:

 

[stefan86]

Westlife? Where? *grabs shotgun*

 

[Lotus_Eater_RVD]

8 of their albums have been in the top 3 in the UK, including 2 at number 1 so I don't think that's too bad at all.

 

[Alex999]

Was it not 3? NOTB,7th Son and FOTD?

 

[Profanity]

[Aggressor]

Yeah, you probably have a good point Profånity...

In Norway Satyricon made it to the top 10, though I don't remember exactly wich place...
Almost every metalhed in Norway applauded when that happened

@Aggressor Hvor i Norge?

 

[Rainking]

Correct

Not correct - Fear of the Dark was number 2.

 

[Alex999]

Says number 1 in my BOTB booklet. Still, it might be lying.
