02/09/2007 - On the first week of release the album entered the U.K. chart at number 26.
09/09/2007 - For the second week in the chart Photograph dropped thirty places to no. 56
16/09/2007 - Although still registering in the album chart at number 99, this is outside what is officially counted (the top 75).
So unfortunately, this album had just a two week chart run.
"The drum is life. It is the sound of life within you.
When the world ends, the drumbeat will sound just once for you like it sounded for me.
It will sound bad or good.
It will ask you if you have been bad or good; And you can answer only one way".
