April 12, 20187 yr I read it too, but was just speculation, some said that since the album was put up for preorder without a single, there's not gonna be a single preceding the album, but I doubt it, a good single sure helps album sales but maybe they think they're big enough, and the album is so anticipated that people will buy anyway?
April 12, 20187 yr all my mates are getting tour tickets for the autumn buttt they're so expensive :''( I wish they’d add a date in Wales!
April 23, 20187 yr I guess if they are they’re wanting to keep the lead single release close to the album release date. I hope there is a lead single from this album!
April 23, 20187 yr Only 3 weeks until release, doesn't make sense if they didn't release a single - would be a missed opportunity for me!
April 25, 20187 yr no single before the album http://www.nme.com/news/music/arctic-monke...elease-2302596/
April 25, 20187 yr Oh :o I wonder if they'll release a music video for a song on the week of release then?!
April 25, 20187 yr Gutted not to be hearing any tracks ahead of the album, but I get what they’re saying, they want people to enjoy the whole album not just one or two tracks. It will be interesting to see how that works out for them!
April 25, 20187 yr it's a bit like what Beyonce did with Lemonade I'm sure it will work for AM cos its such an anticipated album and theres so much buzz if they want bigger album sales they shouldn't allow cherrypicking of the album on itunes either
April 25, 20187 yr I imagine they'll go all out and release a single with the album at the same time, giving the single a music video joint with insta-support from R1 and decent NMF/Hot Hits placement from the get-go. AM are one of the few bands who do really well in streams and sales so I think another Top 10 hit for them is coming this era
April 25, 20187 yr Have they released in the streaming era yet? I imagine the hottest record on 10/5 will be the album itself, maybe a listening party which radio 1 do with releases like this..
April 25, 20187 yr No, their last album was out in 2013. I hope the gamble of no single pays off for them.
April 26, 20187 yr I might pre-order this album from FOPP, and I can get an exclusive lyric book along with it.
May 10, 20187 yr I do hope they have a killer lead single, the hype certainly is there so they could easily get another huge hit like 'Do I Wanna Know' if it's good enough.
May 10, 20187 yr I do hope they have a killer lead single, the hype certainly is there so they could easily get another huge hit like 'Do I Wanna Know' if it's good enough. I think the lead single will be Four Out of Five, just speculation though.
May 10, 20187 yr Awful. Absolutely disappointed :( Just as you thought 'AM' brought them back on track... ugh. No thanks.
