The album produced four successful singles and music videos, "Hello Time Bomb", "Load Me Up", "Strange Days", and "The Future is X-Rated". The success of ''Beautiful Midnight'' propelled Good to a celebrity status in Canada he eventually grew to loathe, and his interactions with the media throughout the promotional cycle for the record were often strained and unpleasant. The album was re-released in 2001 in the United States on Atlantic Records with an altered tracklisting with remixed songs from ''Underdogs''. Good has referred to it as something of a greatest hits. The album did not achieve the kind of success in America as it did in Canada due to Good intentionally sabotaging the band's career stateside by refusing to play along with the media and music industry in the country and the band's reluctance to commit extensively touring the country. A number of songs considered for inclusion on ''Beautiful Midnight'' were relegated to b-side or unreleased status. "Flashdance II" was eventually released on ''Loser Anthems'', while "Pony Boy", which was recorded for the subsequent album ''The Audio of Being'', remained unreleased until ''In a Coma'' in 2005. ==Commercial performance== ''Beautiful Midnight'' debuted at #1 on the Canadian Albums Chart,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top Albums/CDs - Volume 69, No. 23, September 27, 1999 )〕 selling approximately 25,000 copies in its first week. It would go on to become the band's most successful album, being certified Platinum in Canada two months after its release and 2x Platinum on September 7, 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gold Platinum Database: Beautiful Midnight - Matthew Good Band )〕 By March 2003, the album had sold 270,000 units in Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Good Unleashes 'Avalanche In Canada )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beautiful Midnight」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
