Woohoo! I'm back from dying! I LOVE how Paul has his little book which he means he knows everything!
Like CHSIB was in the chart longer than Bat 3, Bat 1 has never left the UK Chart, sales only count for the top 100.
Just afew points. Both dead ringer and welcome to the neighborhood have sold more than Bat 3 in the UK. The very best of has too...
As for the 2,500,000 sales, and thats what they expected, complete rubbish. I can't remember what it was, but I posted it somewhere else, it was around 6 million.
Also, someone posted the other day that meat was coming up to 2 million worldwide sales, I'm quite shocked to find another 500,000 sales in a matter of day! I'm finding it hard to work out why Meat isn't topping any charts this week.
Bat 3 is selling less than 200 copies a week in the UK now. The only thing thats selling at the moment is the virgin 'Heaven Can Wait - The Best Of Meat Loaf'.
Most of americas totals are not a true reflection. They count how many albums have been advanced. So a store could order 5 million copies and that counts.
Anyway, i'm off to do some work now! I'm sure there will be lots more tripe to come after this post.
As for a new album? Meat would need to find a new lable as I don't think they'll (Mercury) will be releasing another one. They've already dropped the bat 3 live idea!
