saying that... I think 'Couldn't Have Said It Better' was Meats 13th highest ranking UK single ever... but we all know anything outside the top 10 is unacceptable.

Excellent. :D

It seens that YES history is once again repeating itself! Meat as a lot of us know was dropped from another label with another album previously. the one he did in the 80s didnt get in the US until MUCH later. Usually when changiing record companies it seems to keep a hold on what gets done or not done with the release of an album on that label(i.e singles or any such related).iIf I am not mistaken (and i could be) didnt he have trouble finding a label to take this cd, and also the title changes? It had taken as long to release this album as it had done other times before. I also wonder if because of his past (i.e bat out of hell) has it remained a reason for everything to be "kept on the back burner"?I ha dheard that vh1 is and the label or Meat are working out a deal in regards to any video airplay or release of for i believe the spring? I dont know about any of you but that to me makes NO sense these videos should have been released already or just before the release of the cd via the US. And what about the release date of the actual cd itself?? It took FOERVER TO GET HERE and the date was changed SEVERAL TIMES! Did this happen in other parts of the world as well??

If the DJ's don't want to play the single, then it's not their fault. . .
Mercury has never really had its act together as far as promotion goes.

And as for getting into the top 10, even with every major radio station and digital TV music channel playing this single, with the best promotion in the world. Four words: No chance in Hell.
Sad, but true.

Here in the US, Sanctuary Records Released CHSIB, but don't even have Meat listed as an artist on their website!! :evil:

I'm curious though, and please bear with me for being dumb, but who actually decides which record company will release an album/single? I've heard that the delay in releasing CHSIB here was due to a change in record companies.

I know what you mean Debbi ... it's absolutely ridiculous :(
You're right ... from what I understand, they were originally supposed to release in the US sometime during the summer, and Meat would have
had more time to promote it before starting the first leg of the US tour.

But then he changed record companies and signed with Sanctuary, wh

:cry: its just history repeating itself once again! For whatever reasons Meat cant seem to keeep himself on a label or he takes himself off of them or whatever. I dont understand and since I am not "in the business" I probably never will. I wonder, if it is the whole "Bat out of Hell" thing that scares these record companies from promoting or wanthing Meat on their label?
