lets hope sony dont make the same mistake.Huh?  What did Arista do? Can anyone shed some light on this?"I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

lets hope sony dont make the same mistake.Really?!? I wasn't aware that it was possible for an album to break the rules on the UK album chart, so long as it isn't trying to fix it's chart position. I know that the singles chart has many rules that can be broken, but the album chart..? How did Rave Un2 break any rules, apart from breaking the rule about albums being good? | |

here is a quote from mr7 on the reason why...
10/25/02 8:14am I heard that Arista put tokens in some of the copies and due to this it was disqualified from chart entry. This inevitably adversley affected its momentum here. | |

I think you are confusing the album with "The Greatest Romance" single that had too many tracks for it to count in the singles chart. |
