Keeping an open eye on the Weeping Angels.
I reckon they are having another go at it - the new single Different World is to be released on the 26th Dec.
Now, it does not take a genius to work out that the week following Christmas is a slow week in record sales. Maiden will sell almost their full quota in the first week or two of any release they do - and nearly always getting a high chart position in the process. Put these two together and you have the potential of Different World getting to No 1. That is exactly how "Bring Your Daughter..." achieved this very feat.
I dare say, most would proclaim that they are not interested in chart positions, but when the above did get to No 1 and knocked off Cliff Richard from his Christmas perch, that was worth the price of the single many times over. I'll never forget what Bruce said when I saw them at Wembley that year:
"We are going to release this single on Christmas eve so we can scare the living shits out of Cliff Richard."
Steady Bruce, you are label mates after all.
Oh, and I've pre-ordered the Digital Downloads ready for Boxing day.
