I've left the vote for the Round 1 open to hopefully get a few more votes in, however it is looking like there is a clear top 3 at the moment.

 

It's looking very clear that unfortunately, another album era is over, however Ariana already has 3 strong albums a 4th game changer is blatantly on the way. In the mean time, before we hear news of a new single; Let's reflect back on some major missed hit single opportunity the label missed. We will go through the albums one by one before the penultimate head to head.

 

You can pick as many songs as you like and the top 3 will move onto the final from each album, plus 1 wildcard to make the top 10 ultimate "Should Have Been Singles". Promo singles will be included.

 

It's masterpiece "My Everything's" turn.

 

As much as I'm obsessed with the "Intro" to this album, it won't be included.

 

 

MY PICKS:

1. Why Try

Masterpiece! Such a Beyoncé moment. Love the video of her in the studio making this. I think this could have been pretty big.

 

2. Break Your Heart Right Back

To me this is the "Greedy" of the album, that big gay pop song... the sample might have been a bit controversial though, plus Ariana got sick of answering questions about this song I'm sure.

 

3. Hands On Me

The sound pretty much takes off where Problem left off, as a last single bridging One Last Time and Focus could have been a good move?

Why Try is my favourite Ariana song so that

2. Break Your Heart Right Back

To me this is the "Greedy" of the album, that big gay pop song...

This is exactly what I was going to say, I think without this, "Greedy" wouldn't have happened. I don't think it would've been a hit though, as much as I adore it.

 

This is near impossible to chose but I've narrowed it down to 3. :D

 

Break Your Heart Right Back

Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart

Best Mistake

 

Just... and Break... although I think Why Try is good but not really what I'd say should have been a single.

Just A Bit Of Your Heart and Break Your Heart Back are my picks.

I love all of the album tracks on this album but I went for "Why Try" and "Break Your Heart Right Back" as the big missed single opportunities. I personally prefer those over some of the singles from this era (OLT for example) but I know that's an unpopular opinion so I definitely think they made the right single choices for this album campaign.

This was super hard coz they got the singles choices spot on already! But I plumped for 'Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart' and 'Break Your Heart Right Back'. I doubt either would've done amazingly after the singles that were chosen, but had JALBOYH been given a high profile performance, I think it could've gone top 20 at least.

Well she did perform it at the Grammys! I don't think it even made the top 50 on (US) iTunes after that.

 

But, JALBOYH is my fave album track so I'm voting for it :wub:

Ahh I was talking UK haha. Had no idea it didn't do too well off the back of that performance though. But it was never an official single there either, was it? :unsure:

 

I imagine it'd have had hold of R1, Capital, heart AND Radio 2 over here, so could've been a big hit if it was given the right push.

Nope, not here. I agree, I could see it having gone top 20 with a UK release and Brits or XF performance!

Yeah, except she's only done one UK TV performance in the three years since My Everything was released in October 2014 lol. Plus that song is shite.

For me they released the perfect 4 singles and there's not really anything else, I suppose maybe 'Break Your Heart Right Back' at a push but I'd prefer just to keep this as a the perfect 4 single era it was (like Dangerous Woman would have been if she released 'Greedy' instead of 'Everyday').

Everything about this is so right. Every single choice was right until Everyday.

Hands On Me, My Everything and Why Try
