In The Age on Saturday (Victoria, Australia) Keane state how they feel "stupid" at holding Morrissey off the Number one spot. (link to article, from an anonymous person).

As follows (excerpt):

Last May, Morrissey, the singer in 1980s English cult heroes the Smiths, was enjoying the benefits of a surprise career resurgence. After years in the wilderness, his album You Are The Quarry was brushing aside competitors in a steady climb into the British top 10. The top spot was looking inevitably Morrissey's right up until May 17, when something unexpected happened.

An unassuming band from Sussex named Keane released Hopes And Fears.

"I feel almost stupid that we were at No.1 and he was at No.2," says Tim Rice-Oxley, songwriter for the trio, who have no guitarist, just piano, bass and drums. "He's such a great man and such a big influence on us. But I think he's one of those people that doesn't need No.1s, he's such a legend anyway. It's not about chart positions, it's about writing songs that last forever."

Easy to say when you're in the top position, and probably scant comfort for Morrissey himself, who is purported to have said at a live show around the time, "Could anyone named Keane please leave the building?"
