Have you any understanding of the music business whatsoever? Your arguments are so incredibly erratic that I honestly do not know where to begin. Or end.

Charting at #15 is not a faliure for an alternative rock band whose main lyrical themes involve piss and tits. In fact, it's pretty darn good. 100 - 1 is a big, big scope of numbers, Tom. 100, in fact. Charting at #77 after your #1 single may make you a one hit wonder but charting at #15? Nah, brah.

The Bloodhound Gang still sell albums in the UK, still tour in the UK, and still write about piss and tits. They had done so before The Bad Touch and continued to do so. The fact that they managed to chart with the afformentioned song does not suddenly make them a one hit wonder. It takes more than that.
