Ok, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but.......chart topping songs? where? In the USA BOOH wasn't even released as a single and the three that were didn't exactly have the bean counters working overtime, 2 Outta 3 was the best selling and that didn't break the top ten!!

Again, success? Meat stated that it was For Crying Out Loud that broke the record, started the phenomenon, as for over here it was Paradise.

Not a fair statement as lets face it, most people would wish anybody else would've sung it

In total album sales it didn't but it did in every other way, it sold more initial album sales and faster than BOOH did, a virtually worldwide number one single and a Grammy award and the 2nd and 3rd selling singles beat the 2nd and 3rd selling singles off Bat 1.
I'd say that AFL was the song that brought Meat more worldwide recognition than BOOH so it would be somewhat pointless releasing it in Bat 3 as it wouldn't have topped AFL, unless of course you think Meat "suffered" because of AFL as well.
I'm gonna stop now, I could go on as you're argument has more holes than a fishing net but I'll say this, BOOH the song wasn't the reason the album was so big, it was the album as a whole, remove one part of it and you may just kill the whole thing.
