Far too many singles listed I've been collecting Ministry for years, and can assure you that over a third of the singles listed here does not exist. Meaning that they're "ghost releases". Rumoured to exist, mainly due to the existance of promo copies (sent out free to DJs or music journalists) or that videos of a certain track are made. ONLY stock copies can count as official releases. Meaning copies sold through shops.
These singles exists: (meaning that I either own a copy or have seen stock copies offered for sale in places such as eil.com) 82 Cold Life Work For Love 83 I Wanted To Tell Her Revenge 84 (Every Day Is) Halloween / All Day 85 Nature Of Love 86 Over The Shoulder 88 Stigmata 90 Burning Inside 91 Jesus Built My Hotrod 92 NWO 92 Just One Fix 95 The Fall 96 Lay Lady Lay 99 Bad Blood
These singles listed does NOT exist: Flashback, Land Of Rape And Honey, Thieves, Reload, Brick Windows
Not collecting Ministry since 1999, I have no ideas on which singles that were released afterwards. Never the less, taken the fact that singles sell less and less I am convinced that very few, if any, has been released this millennium.
Owning two dozen of chart books from all over the world, only two hit singles by Ministry can be found: Revenge, no.35 in New Zealand, Dec.83 and The Fall, no. 21 in Canada, Mar.96. (A hit single is counted as a Top 40 single appearing on a national chart)
Good article, keep up the good work. And shout out if you disagree with my views.
Please list up the date of the sale figures of the record too.
