Following on from the previously linked track by The Genie Queen, we now have two exclusive songs available on the Downloads page.

Pleasureground and Fingerlickin' are two great Genie Queen tunes and follow on from the Souvenir-sampled What A Girl Goes Through.

The German TV show Ultimate Chartshow, which broadcast OMD's Maid Of Orleans performance on Saturday, pulled in 5.7 million viewers which accounted for 23.7% of the people watching TV for Saturday evening.
