The Family Jewels (song) is so underrated, but it really *****. It's so simple, but the chorus is everything.

'Welcome to the family jeeeewwweeeellllssss'

i've never even heard of this song before now but im loving it

Oh btw, thanks to whoever put the deluxe lyrics on Tumblr, very helpful.

What? It's the closer on her first record I thought you were a hardcore stan!

So the album is doing well on the itunes chart? Maybe she sold soooooo much more physical copies. fingers crossed.

and primadonna still at 11? Ughhh

[Michael]

Physical she's doing well, however Norah is ahead of her (although Marina has two versions so combined she might be doing better):

Amazon
Norah standard: #5
Marina deluxe: #13
Marina standard: #29

Play
Norah standard: #29
Marina standard: #46
Marina deluxe: #51

HMV
Marina standard: #3
Norah standard: #21
Marina deluxe: Not in top 50

I think Marina might just take it though, she was ahead on each site when it came to pre-orders.

You know it !
Wish it was more mastered but whatever it's still good !

I'm up to track 10 and already I'm so impressed and there's still 6 tracks to go! Very clever lyrics and catchy melodies. Perfect.

I'm proud of Marina. This is going to be her moment.
Just wait until the album tour happens. It'll raise the sales and everything.

I still can't @ Nii calling Power and Control a "power bottom anthem" on twitter a couple of days ago.

It's on my CD too, along with Seventeen. However, that's the Japanese version of The Family Jewels - one of the four different versions I own.

Just got back to the hospital and SO SAD to see that she's had to postpone her tour. I'd rather she do that then do some permanent damage though of course. I am sure whatever she has in store for us in June will be *amazing*. I was really looking forward to Thursday though, I've had a rubbish few weeks but Marina and her music have kept me going as sad as that sounds lol.

My boxset didn't come either Praying it comes tomorrow.

So pleased Electra Heart appears to be doing well in the charts! I hope it keeps rising.

[Michael]

Deluxe and Standard have both moved up a place on iTunes, at #4 and #9 respectively.
