The Subways - Money and Celebrity: Wikipedia Album Entry

Money and Celebrity is the third studio album by English trio The Subways, produced by Stephen Street. It was released on the 19th of September 2011.The album is assisted by fans with them providing photos and cover artwork to the band through their pledgemusic project in which donations are made to the band for a charity and the donor receives anything from just the new CD to a 2 summer pass to every date the band perform.

History
During the period between the previous album All Or Nothing and the current one, the band created around 50 songs and decided against using them for the latest installment. From the 12th of September 2011, NME Magazine began streaming the album in its entirety. On the 15th of September, the band let Pledge Music customers download their version of the album, posing the question of which track was to be the next single from the LP. Upon release, the album reached #43 in the UK Albums Chart and #16 in Germany's official charts, the Media Control Charts.
