And Love said no
This is the latest news from Greece about And love said no!
In less than 2 months, HIM's And Love Said No (Greatest Hits album) gets golden! Read what the Greek music portal MAD.GR wrote about it:
"It won't be the first time, but the fourth one! HIM's new album, the And love said no collection with the greatest hits of their career will soon get golden in Greece, approximately 2 months after its release.
The album remained for 3 whole weeks in the top position of the official Greek chart, proving Greek audience's great love for Ville Valo's band.
Their previous 3 albums have also got golden, while each performance of then in our country causes panic. The same panic is expected to be repeated also in the last day of ROCKWAVE FESTIVAL 2004, on June 22nd." Thanks to
Razorblade Club Greece!
