I'd love to know what it is about the UK and Meat Loaf, and why it has always been one of his biggest markets. Any thoughts? Or should I start another topic for that one?

Already on DVD several times over Lisa , look for the 25th editon of the Bat album and also the latest release they slapped the Dead Ringer vid on the end.
Meat didn't want the first Hit's out not alone a second. Glad your enjoying it though .

It's actually still doing good! Sales for Sunday & Monday were up 39.9% on the same period last week. Hopefully this isn't just dads spending their fathers day money.

It's down to 17 at the moment though sadly with there being a few new releases, but we'll see as the week goes on :)

Also, following on from Nikox1 totals posted...

Meat sold over 20,000 albums on the UK.

Piece of the Action shot up from 147 to 81 with a 180% sales boost with sales of 2,978. This takes it total since release to 13,897.

Hit's Out Of Hell takes it's total to 368,148 and is currently the 84 best selling album in the chart (last week) in total sales.

know it all
hits out of hell has the above sales since its been re issued! as it has easily passed the 500,000 sales mark in the uk [ the sales above are correct ] since the re issue, in its first 10 wks in 1985 it had sold over 200,000 copies alone!
its total chart weeks as of now are 82, so that would mean it has only sold 168,000 copies since? it should be double platinum [ but the record company dont pay for certifications anymore ] but you are good and know your stuff, im just stating that the occ are not reliable at tracking older album sales

again i mean no offense

Meat's dropped to 20 today with Hits Out Of Hell but sales for this are up 4.4% on this time last week.

Piece Of The Action currently has dropped from 81 to 96 but is an amazing 44.8% up on this time last week!

Not many, myself included, thought the Hits Out Of Hell would break the Top100 let alone the Top 40, so dropping to 20 in the charts isn't too shabby at all.

Maybe not but I'm sure he hasn't turned down whatever money has come his way from it.

Just seen an advert for the CD on Dave. It seems to be tied up with Sainsbury's as their logo is on the screen throughout it.

At the end of the advert the voice-over says that it would make a perfect gift for Father's Day! That really is buying early!

Dave seems to have a perspective all its own :) But I saw the ad linked to Sainsburys quite a few times on other channels in the week leading up to Fathers Day this month .. I've noticed that Dave not only consists of re-run shows .. but now and again re-run ads beyond their obvious date too .. this seems to be another example :)

There, Sony, there is STILL interest in Meat Loaf NOW RELEASE "Dead Ringer" through "Blind Before I Stop" digitally remastered with extras!

The bit I noticed on the advert is where voiceover man says something along the lines of "Finally! All Meat Loaf's hits together for the first time!" Surely that's false advertising?

I think it actually says "Finally all Meat Loaf's hits together for the first time on one cd" which is slightly less false ...

I'd think they'd have to remove "all hits" and "first time" to make it not false
