Hey - it works!

Regular readers will recall my report on Valor del Corazon:

One of the most interesting aspects of Valor del Corazon is that Ginger has told the "recording industry" where to stick their corporate crap. It's released on his own independent label, through an exclusive deal with HMV, with all the pre-release publicity done by fans.

Well, pre-orders have put it 4th on the HMV online album sales chart, beaten only by Sugababes, Now 62 & Pussycat Dolls, & ahead of Madonna, James Blunt & Black Eyed Peas.

Impressive, or what?
