there are a lot of bands that would sacrifice just about anything to get results like that...me included :)

Wow, thats pretty cool

**Monstro** · 06 Aug 2011, 11:18

I wonder if the success of this has anything to do with Meat getting a deal with Sony

duke knooby · 06 Aug 2011, 12:42

or if its to do with it being a cheap best of cd available in most supermarkets?

Kev · 06 Aug 2011, 12:51

There have been loads of cheap 'best of' albums for Meat - but none have sold like this. It is quite strange. :)

coincidence maybe that every song from Bat I is on there? Plus every song from Dead Ringer (OK, no Nocturnal Pleasures, but that's not a song now is it?) and the cream of the crop from the next three albums. And it's cheap! Under a fiver on Amazon, and in the '2 for £10' at the supermarkets and other outlets.

It's still going along well.

72 up to 67 up to 64 last week.

Kev · 26 Aug 2011, 10:31

It just keeps selling this ~~~~~~...

823 sold this week up until Wednesday evening and currently back at 74 in the mid weeks.

How do sales of this compare to compilations by other artists Kev?

Kev · 28 Aug 2011, 21:28

this is by far the biggest selling album from the 'Camden' releases.

Wario · 23 Sep 2011, 03:55

of course with the successful compilation, Masculine (and Execution Day) are excluded.

robgomm · 25 Sep 2011, 22:30

It's been in the top 100 for the past 10 weeks now, this week at 80.
