Compared to "One" which would share titles with Metallica and U2 and "Won" which is far worse than "Bounce"?

I think people voted for the lesser of 3 evils.

good point

"Another Reason To Believe" was also on the poll.

Some chice. Still, I like the title. The first time I heard the title, it sounded so rediculous that it was actually cool. (I hope you could understand that.)

Yeah, it was just a marketing scam. I'm 99.9% sure that they'd already chosen Bounce and weren't going to change.
My theory is that, they put out a poll where fans can choose between a few other crappy titles, the record company (I think it was the record company who ran the poll) did this so that it makes the fan think, 'I've had my say in the title of this album, I feel part of it', etc etc, so I'm going to definatly buy it. Of course this isn't going to work for everyone, but the record company can't really seem to get many things right anyway!

True.

In addition the whole "September 11th" basis for the album didnt do BJ any favours, Undivided was criticised a lot by some areas of the American press. The fact that BJ felt they could "uplift" the nation was frankly rather ambitious!
