SOURCE: NME :cheer: :o oooh sounds so cool, i'll have to youtube that at some point! and that's great news about the album :wub:
April 13, 200718 yr Great choice for the 4th single from 'Sam's Town.' :D If there's a 5th single I would ideally like it to be 'Bling (Confession Of A King),' 'Uncle Jonny,' or 'This River Is Wild.' :)
April 13, 200718 yr I think it depends on how much 'For Reasons Unknown,' helps the album and where it charts, I don't think they would see a lot of point in funding a 5th release if they knew it was going to flop and not help the album at all.
April 13, 200718 yr for reasons unknown will make th etop 20 and a fifth single will prob go top 25 or maybe top 20
April 13, 200718 yr I think it's a possibility that 'For Reasons Unknown,' could reach the lower end of the top 20 based on the fact that 'Bones,' and 'Read My Mind,' charted at #15 but I also think there's a possibility that it might just scrape the top 25.
April 13, 200718 yr Author Well, hopefully this new single will do well (I'm happy with Top 20) and also help the album to sell more!
April 14, 200718 yr The albums sold a fair amount already so I wouldn't be too bothered if it didn't sell much more now but obviously it's always good to get more sales for such a good album. :D

April 28, 200718 yr Author Well.. after hearing For Reasons Unknown... I'm not too sure its gonna be a hit. -_- :o The song is utterly amazing! One of the best from "Sam's Town" in my opinion.
April 29, 200718 yr Has it sold a million in the UK, or is over a million sales it's total worldwide cume? :unsure: Seeing as it's source is the NME, i'll take it, it means for the UK. :lol: Noot too sure about FRU as the next single, doesn't really do anything for me, but hey, everyone has different tastes in music. :lol:
