In terms of chart positions of the singles include In the Army Now, What You're Proposing, Down Down and Pictures of Matchstick Men to the international best-sellers.

Notes to the compilation

For several years, no more singles will be released from the status quo in Germany and other countries. (An exception was The Party Is not Over Yet ).
