'Undiscerning masses'? Do you mean the 'crass consumers' Morrissey ranted about in 'Kid's A Looker'? Are you suggesting that song's directed at the likes of Liam Gallagher? Let's hope not, given the 3rd verse.
There's nothing to stop Morrissey using
'professional songwriters (including Adele's)' if he wants to sell to the 'undiscerning masses'. If he doesn't care about selling to them, why did he have a Diva hissy fit when Harvest failed to flog WPINOYB? Your problem is you are a silly little snob who denigrates the tastes of the 'undiscerning masses' just as Morrissey is a silly little snob with his 'crass consumers' nonsense. You are the f***wit, with your absurd cheerleading for LIHS. Let's see if it manages to get to #1 ahead of Paloma in a week of nondescript sales.
You have made a total tit of yourself. You quote a load of historic sales figures to begin your argument then dismiss them as irrelevant as they were sales to the 'undiscerning masses'. If sales aren't important:
WHY ARE YOU MONITORING THE SALES OF LIHS as if it was your blood pressure monitor?
Of course, what your silly little rant does is fully support my argument that Morrissey-Solo is and always has been a strictly C List Tribute Act to The Smiths. He has only managed to have a 3 decade career as a solo artiste by mimicking his role when he was 1/4 of The Smiths collective. His fury, and yours, is that the public simply will not buy his Dad Rock Smith's Karaoke in the numbers he feels he deserves. That's why he was delusional enough to write 'Kid's A Looker' then drop it when he realised everyone was openly mocking and ridiculing him for his jealousy. Your post is pure Morrissey Cult, that sad little world full of snobs who think their musical choices are more important than those of the 'undiscerning masses/crass consumers' but who simply cannot stop obsessively monitoring the charts with threads like this and cannot stop bitterly complaining about the failure of the Cult Leader to connect with a record buying public he clearly despises. Thanks for revealing yourself so amusingly as a total snob Morrissey Cult Casualty!
Funny how Morrissey abandoned 'The Kid's A Looker'! Funny how Ed Sheeran was able to dismiss him so succinctly!
Morrissey's first week sales for LIHS will be resolutely C List Boomer Has-Been. Let's see if he can resist another angry outburst against the British Public for being 'duped' by the music business into NOT buying his ridiculous new album.

Ed Sheeran says Morrissey is talking ‘absolute bollocks’ after being insulted by singer
The former Smiths frontman had claimed the public are being 'force-fed' the pair
Ed Sheeran has responded to criticism from Morrissey, who recently delivered a damning indictment of the music industry, painting it as being entirely under the control of major labels “force feeding” the public artists such as Sheeran and Sam Smith.
The former Smiths frontman had dismissed the modern music climate as “stringently controlled, obvious and predictable”, with Sheeran taking to Twitter to brush off the comments as “absolute bollocks”.
