Manic Street Preachers 'Gutted' About UK Chart Failure

February 4, 2011
Manic Street Preachers 'Gutted' About UK Chart FailureThe Manic Street Preachers have said that they are 'gutted' about the lack of success of their recent single.

'Some Kind of Nothingness', taken from 2010's ‘Postcards From A Young Man', was the their first single since 1991 not to break the UK Top 40.

"My excitement always turns into a real dose of fear when I'm waiting for a chart position or to find out whether the radio's going to play our record. It's like waiting for that envelope to drop through the door and see you've got a D in geography," bassist Nicky Wire told Spinner.

He added: "I was quite distraught that 'Some Kind of Nothingness', our single, missed the Top 40. I was gutted."

Manic Street Preachers frontman James Dean Bradfield recently criticised the current state of the UK music charts.
