The Enemy frontman Tom Clarke has insisted that he is unconcerned by chart positions.

The singer claimed that he won't care if the band's forthcoming second album Music For The People fails to match the success of their debut We'll Live And Die In These Towns, which topped the UK chart in 2007.

"I don't think any band should feel pressured to get a number one nowadays, and unless you're managed by Simon Cowell the chances are pretty slim," Clarke told the Daily Star. "The charts are pretty much occupied by s**t pop so we don't feel any pressure.

"If you manage to get in that territory and make an impact, then it's really significant. It feels good because it's almost like you've conquered someone else's territory, but if you don't you're like: 'Well, it's full of s**t pop anyway'."

He added: "Chart positions are not really the measure of bands and artists anymore. Nowadays it is their live performances."

Music For The People will be released on April 27.
