Friday Night

The Darkness

Must Destroy/Atlantic

WE SAY

No soundclip. Here's one of the most extraordinary things about the success story that is The Darkness: they had the sixth best-selling album of 2003 in the UK, without releasing either of the best two singles from it. Here comes the first of them: much-played album favourite Friday Night (the other, overlooked by some, is Love Is Only A Feeling which is massive and not remotely throwaway).
