Hey folks! Quick question!!
I always believed that Meat has only had one #1 single ( "I'd Do Anything For Love") But, I recently found an album in my collection called "The Greatest #1 Rock Singles" and it has "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" on it!! I've also been talking to friends, and they reckoned that Meat Loaf has had more than one #1. Can somebody please clear up this little misunderstanding for me?! Thankyou! Yours, Greavzyboy |

As far as i know, 'Anything For Love' was Meats first and only NO.1 to date, i know hes had a few close ones like ' Id Lie For You' (i think it made it to NO.2). Dont think 2 out of 3 made it. I could be wrong tho.

Linda Imperial released a double "A" side All by myself and 2 out of 3 ain't bad dance version -O h my God I don't believe it - couldn't find a down load to see how bad it could possibly be |

Well, it can't be much worse than Bonnie Tyler's horrendous version of "2 0ut 0f 3"!!
That was a crime against Steinman! In fact, that was a crime against humanity!! Yours, Greavzyboy |

Dead Ringer For Love 1981(5) Bat Out Of Hell re-issue 1993 ( 8 ) I'd Lie For You 1995 (2) Not A Dry Eye In The House 1996 (7) Hope that helps. |

Hi Dottie.
The information I gave was gatherd from the Guinness world records book of British hit singles.It lists every charted single since the UK singles chart began in 1952.It is a very detailed book,giving the highest chart position and how many weeks spent on chart of any given single. A new addition is published every 2 years. It is a very good book and I highly recomend it. |

Clearly the source is right, but I also have a 'All time Number 1's' Album and it has 2 outta 3 on it too!! Strange. I do believe there are 3 Steinman songs on the album - that one, a Bonnie Tyler one and the third has skipped my mind.
The ironic thing about 2 outta 3 is that it only just made it onto the album, and was basically an afterthought - and it ended up being the only single release from the album that really did well in the charts here! |
