But if she did she'd know Koopa slumped from 17 down to 33 in yesterday's midweeks and wouldn't look so stupid (and do the band damage) in her column today.

Thats too funny to comment about;)

Cool news for Koopa - after being in the Sun the probability that they'll "un-slump" must be pretty high.

Congrats to whoever at Koopa got them up there in the first place - I am assuming die-hard fan surge like erm... erm... ohhhh... forgotten his name "Hey Baby That's Really Free" - definitely not Brotherhood of Man though.

Nice one Koopa congrats... unless it really is a nasty major playing games

under 2000 downloads for Koopa means about

"Really Free" was of course the wonderful John Otway, whose following organised themselves brilliantly to get his second hit.

The income is secondary - they got publicity worth more than that.

Personally from the over-compressed distorted noise that is the song I listened to I don't think it will follow through.

Somebody on their team has done a good job. They didn't forget the obvious (January low sales) and got a great result for an unknown entity.

Being down as the first download only entry (If they do get remembered/noted) may be little more than a vanity trip but I would have liked to do it.

Aha! Otway, thank you. I really couldn't recall his name, sorry John
