Coming Up

Product Information

Caulfield, Keith (26 September 2008). "Ask Billboard: Blue Suede Shoes". Billboard. Archived from the original on 27 March 2013. Coming Up was a commercial success. It spawned five top 10 singles in the UK and charted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. [31] The album was certified as platinum by the BPI in January 1997. [32] It had sold 425,000 copies in the UK as of July 1997. [33] Excluding the US, where Coming Up had a later release date, year-end worldwide sales were roughly 600,000, with the top markets being the UK, Scandinavia and Japan. [34] Worldwide sales reached 1.5million by 1998. [12] The proportion of worldwide sales in the US, however was much lower than the sales of the first album. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Coming Up has sold about 40,000 copies in the US as of September 2008. [35] The record sold well in Scandinavia, with "Trash" becoming the band's first overseas number one single, topping the charts in Finland. [36] The album charted at number one in both Sweden and Denmark, and number three in Norway. [37] The album was also certified as Gold in Norway and Platinum in Sweden. [38] [39] Anderson saw the funny side of their newfound popularity, saying: "They went mad for it in Scandinavia, maybe because they're all depressed sex maniacs or something." [40] Legacy [ edit ] And what a dazzling, spangly pop album Coming Up, remains, made shinier still by expert remastering. Anderson cites the surging outsiders anthem Trash as the pinnacle, but Beautiful Ones is more remarkable, the urgent, knotty wordplay of its verses giving way to an ecstatic chorus which embodies the album's title (the demo fascinatingly reveals that the song began life as Beatles-y whimsy). That these big pop beasts were interspersed with savage melodramas like She and swooning love songs like Picnic by the Motorway made Coming Up more alluring and enduring. Savlov, Marc (8 May 1997).

What it loses for attempting to rhyme ‘killer’ with ‘pillow’, it more than makes up for in camp thuggery and sheer verve. Two more singles, "15 Again" and "That Boy on the Stage" were released before the album. According to Anderson the former is "a song about falling in love with life for the first time," [115] and the latter "[is] about persona. It’s about the people we become."
