World chart domination
I don't mind a bit of boosterism, but YLE got carried away when it titled its article on the new albums by Nightwish and HIM as "Finnish Metal Bands Poised for World Chart Domination". Evidence of this poise:
The new album by Finnish rock band HIM has entered the US album chart at number 12 [...]
In Europe's largest market, Germany, HIM's album Venus Doom rose to number three in its first week on the chart. [...]
Last week, the two metal bands made Finnish rock history by scoring the top spots on the British rock singles chart.
Not the main singles chart, mind you. The rock one. By YLE's standards, SaiPa is poised to dominate Finnish hockey.
Note to foreign readers: SaiPa is not poised to dominate Finnish hockey.
