1, easily. Extremely die-hard fan base.

First time I encountered them was on Rove, where thousands of screaming teenage girls alerted me to one of the harsh realities of life - I'm old, and music clearly sucks now.

Classy album title.

but i thought only nannas bought physical product these days.

aka the andre rieu effect.

I had the misfortune of catching 'Video Hits presents Short Stack' one morning a couple of weeks back. I felt really, really old.

Judging by the swiftness with which their street teamers invaded the Defamer site, we can expect a visit in 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 ...

i judged this band in a band comp a few years ago (which they won). they were pretty amazing for a school band (which is what they were then). i now know nothing of them, except that they pop up from time to time.

Considering Michael Jackson has been number 1 for 4 weeks now, I think it may be due - but who knows.

I'll be conservative and say No 3.

Twas funny to see their single debut at No 2 last week and this week drop all the way to No 27

Who's Short Stack?

Oh, OK, those twats who were on Rove.

I don't neccessarily think that their existance means anyone's old and out of touch. Pop music is for kids and the fact that you don't find them entertaining, just means you're not 14 any more. I don't like MC Hammer any more, but I thought he was genius when I was 14.

Never heard of them, but am listening on their myspace. Sounds like crabcore, so they shohuld be number 1.

PS: IT IS FUCKING SHITHOUSE, WHAT THE FUCK? SERIOUSLY, IT IS SHITTER THAN THE GALVATRONS.

Sounds like crabcore

will Short Stack be the group that delivers crabcore to the masses?

Shut up u old fukz. Get a clu. SHRT STK rokz.

U jes need a dik up u.

I have to say i love this band! Andy is HOT!! They are awsome and i wish that i was the bunn and andy kissed me :-)!!!!!I love u short stack no matter wat people say!!! and to those to think they are horabile they arent but its just ur opinion so they rock :-)!! Also the part when the money talks is funny :D!!!!! I LOVE U SHORT STACK. :-)

These cunce are playing at the Enmore in December. Say whaaa?

It's all about the hair.

From what I heard they're pulling some crafty marketing tricks to get the album to #1.

what, like selling the 35 copies needed?

are you saying they are cooking the charts metalchicks?

is that why the album has fallen so swiftly??

There is some fan based pre order thing which a lot of smart bands do but I think they're really driving this. I read somewhere the album is $10 with presale to Festival Hall .

They're high in the glycemic index and after a week it'll go into freefall.

I really feel sorry for bands like this.

number 3 on iTunes. they'd want better than that on day 1. smoke and mirrors.

I honestly don't see the Michael Jackson Juggernaut ending soon. Top 5 surely, but not #1

Poor kids. No doubt their music is terrible.

Poor kids?

They're pulling lots of underage girls, they're the coolest kids in school. They're even more popular with pimply bogan teenagers than British India. Why do you feel sorry for them?

They've got what they want. They probably don't expect it to last.

OH. MY. GOD. I want to punch these guys in the cunt... since they obviously don't have penis amongst the three of them.

They need a bit of Bree Bree.

They'll fool us all and go on to be the new U2; we'll be staring at their now-grizzled mugs on the front of magazines in 20 years time.

Will they still be wearing guyliner?

LOLOLOL

Shortstackchat

fucking kill me.

Shannonskyee (guest): hhheeyy

And the chart is out: debuted at 1.

checks Stackchat

crickets

Listening to them on youtube- my god they're a world of pain. They are the Australian Metro Station.

Don't be dissing Metro Station like that.

They have mad skills on the cardboard box.

9059 units sold in week one.

I have eye-witness proof that little girls were buying 5 copies at a time: 2 for friends, one to play (and presumably kiss the photos on the sleeve/poster), one to keep sealed, and one to FRAME!!! (Jeez, their paper-round must be WAY better than the one I had at that age...)

Week Two - number 13. Week 3?

They played one of those Myspazz shows.

I think this one sums up the band for me:

Holy crap. Listening to this band, they are really really bad. Must turn it off.
