Im glad Rihanna Was added. The Song Is not great but i would like to see it perform well :)

The years penultimate playlist then?

The snub of Cosmic Love until the dying days of the album's success was bizarre. I think it should have been released as the album's lead single rather than Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up).

 

Was Rabbit Heart the lead single? I thought she has released Kiss with a Fist and Dog Days are Over before that.

 

If I were her people I would have had this schedule

 

Howl- Up tempo song, perfect for remixes, getting a lot of exposure

Cosmic Love- to just precede the album, show variety in her music

Rabbit Heart

Dog Days are Over

You Got the Love

 

Between Two Lungs: Heavy in Your Arms

 

 

I think "Forgiveness" would be a decent enough choice if it wasn't at such a critical time of year. The three examples people gave weren't when album sales were at their highest and there was the most to potentially gain from releasing "Hush Little Baby". Rewind his entire release history three months, so that he's now releasing "Forgiveness" in September, and it would make decent enough sense.

 

With "Cosmic Love" I've never really got the hype for it. Seeing as it went to #3 in Ireland though (was there even much promotion for it there?) there was obviously demand so no matter how much I prefer "Drumming Song" releasing "Cosmic Love" as the first post-album single might have made more sense.

 

I think the "Ceremonials" campaign has been far more critical though because her sales are struggling somewhat, I think it was mad not to do "No Light, No Light" on X Factor. Any song that's already in the public consciousness will sell better after being performed whereas a lesser known one will do more to help the album. So she might have had three moderate singles and a platinum album by now instead of one moderate single, one decent-sized hit and one likely flop with a struggling album.

I mean 'lead' as in the last single released before the album - KWAF and DDAO were released before Rabbit Heart but 'Lungs' was released off the back of RH(RIU). Howl wouldn't be my choice for a single but it (and pretty much anything) would be better than the disastrous choice that was 'Drumming Song', which is their lowest peaking single, even being outpeaked by Cosmic Love which was released nearly a year later after the album had sold far more :lol:

 

I would order her 'Lungs' era like this:

 

Dog Days Are Over

Cosmic Love

(album release)

Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)

You've Got The Love

Heavy In Your Arms

(deluxe album release)

Pour moi:

 

Kiss With A Fist

Dog Days Are Over

Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)

(Lungs)

Cosmic Love

You've Got The Love

Heavy In Your Arms

(Between Two Lungs)

 

Missing off two of my favourites "Drumming Song" and the much-maligned "Girl With One Eye", shame.

Kiss With A Fist was on every other Channel 4 ad when it was released. Would have been silly not to release it as a single! :P

Howl, I've never heard however...

They did totally screw up by waiting until all interest in the era had waned before unleashing 'Cosmic Love'. It was the OBVIOUS choice to follow-up 'Rabbit Heart' and everyone knew it at the time, I don't know what they were thinking.

It didn't seem to get mentioned earlier in the week, and this might not be the proper place, but anyway...
