The poorest-selling musical compilation ever was Now, That’s What I Call Animals Getting Slaughtered 3. Belgian producer Marcus Bellepain, was actually surprised at the poor sales. “We only produced the first NTWICAGS for a joke, but were surprised when it got to 32 in the Belgian album charts, and 27 in the Swiss,” he said in an interview on May 7th 2002. ”The second album didn’t do quite so well, but we really didn’t expect number 3 to sell only 6 copies, and half of them were returned within a fortnight.”
