I love All Of Me, and I could see it having a broad appeal, the music sticking in people's minds, and the "chorus" lyrics catching on, and not just to Meat Loaf fans. And a poll consisting of 65 votes from Meat Loaf fans on one fan site (64 if you take away the one for "a mystery song") isn't exactly a robust set of statistics imo as a basis of deciding a single release to the widest market, particularly give the framing of it .. eg (again) after two of the titles. I'd hope Sony have a more sound approach to testing the potential market.
I don't hope anybody is horribly wrong .. just that Sony are informed and right in all they do

While all of me is a good song, Im baffled why Sony chose that over The Giving Tree or Live or Die, which I bet even you can say would have been better choices. I hope they do know what they are doing.
