BTW, anyone can actually remember any artist that released the best track of the album as a THIRD single?

Pet Shop boys puts out 3 or 4 singles per album. Wonder why they have almost 40 singles and 20 top 10 singles and 35 top 20 singles in the UK.

Something the PSB's often do is release a non-album track as the third single to keep interest up (Always On My Mind, Where the Streets Have No Name, Absolutely Fabulous & Somewhere). If that single does well, they pull the fourth single from the album.

Nah don't release any, what's the point, unless it's a new track not on the album, re-mixes are boring! I liked the way PCL and Movement didn't contian any singles

"Where the streets have no name" was from their "Discography" compilation, "Absolutely Fabulous" was released when already 5 singles were pulled out from their "Very" album and "Somewhere" after the release of 4 singles from the "Bilingual" album...;)

PSB's singles are worth it cus they always contain corking b-sides eg. In the Night, I want a dog, Delusions of Grandeur, Don Juan, We all feel better in the dark, etc

Hey now what you doing but of course it will never happen

You're right about "Somewhere".

"Absolutely Fabulous" was the 5th single from the "Very" campaign, "Yesterday, When I Was Mad" was the 6th.

"Where the Streets Have No Name" was released as a single a good 8 months before "Discography".

Waiting for the Sirens' Call is already slated to be the next single after Jetstream.

I'd like to see Guilt is a Useless Emotion released in the US. Perhaps they'd include a mix that Hooky likes. They could use GIAUE mixes as bonus tracks on the UK WFTSC single.

I'm scared to know what clubs you're going to where they let 14 year olds in.

I'm not clubbing anymore, Matt. But I do remember a couple of years ago there were too many kids in the clubs. The law is different now though. All them kids under 18 cannot go out alone after midnight unless they are with their parents. And if the Guilt is kinda song that will enlarge the number of NO fans around the world, well fook that. I doubt they will ever be able to understand the meaning of Movement or PC&L, for example.

Guilt is a useless emotion then Hey now what you doing then Turn then Who's joe

6 singles - that should be enough:D

i'd go for Guilt or Hey now, because my kids keep on asking me to play them again; so, hey the kids can't be wrong, pop pickers! It's not about what we like, we allready have the songs - it's about getting other people into NEWorder - JET followed by Guilt might do it

Warners already said it would be WFTSC didn't they?, I'd be happy with that but think GIAUE would make a great summer tune, loads of mixes, I think sister bliss could do a decent mix aswell as the chems, how about a mix by Arthur Baker after a shit load of drugs, interesting!.

Love turn but can't see it as a single, they've gotta leave a reason to buy the CD.

Couldn't really decide between Turn & Guilt Is A Useless Emotion.

The age-old decision-making Technique of flipping a coin suggests Turn should be the next one.

Gotta go with "Hey Now". "WFTSC" is a good tune, but seems to run too long to be a single. Sure, it could be edited for radio, but there's no real hooks or big changes that stand out. "Hey Now" is punchy, it rocks, and the chorus is great ("You've got to hold your head up high, you know it's not too late to try"..I love singing along to that). It's a shame about Guilt - it had potential, but the chorus just ruins the song. My second choice would be Who's Joe (good chorus in that song).

1002

barney already confirmed that its the title track on that french interview thing.

why the fuck is jetstream being released anyway? if they want a 'summer dance song'..then guilt is a useless emotion pisses all over it for sunny brilliance.

in fact, fuck them all - dracula's castle, but only if they change the name back.

I feel so sorry that working Overtime and I told you so hasnt been chosen yet............. NOT!!

It is by no means the best track but Morning Night + Day is like the other singles catchy and probably well suited for release imo.

I heard I told you so and its a decent track, i like it... but has no depth to be a single release

and as for Working overtime, you say its Monkees on a bad day, try and make a song and I dare you play it on American idol, its really hard ya know ;)

Turn is the best track on the album. If that song got airplay WFTSC would be NO's #1 selling lp ever. The song makes Krafty sound stupid.

Guilt, of course. :)

I am torn between Turn and GIAUE, but I think I'll have to go with Turn. They should also release GIAUE as a fourth single, since it would have some some killer remixes and would go further as a dance track.

I can't see the title track as being better then these two songs, and what kind of remixes would you get out of WFTSC. Hope the decision to make WFTSC as the third single is not written in stone yet.

Guilt would be a summer hit in Europe. That's for sure.

Guilt.......

Isn't this thread a bit redundant?

Barney's already said WFTSC will be the third single.

:\pimp3:

Not the best choice IMHO.

WFTSC is too long for the radio, and could not easily be edited to 3 minutes, except if they do the same as with TPK .

Beside the fact that I hate Guilt, I think it's too reminiscent of Jetstream.

Turn would be a good choice.

well "i told you so" wont be a single as its already been on a giveaway cd with the nme. "morning night and day" is also on a giveaway cd in the gaurdian newspaper here in the uk,todays edition(sat).

the title track is a cracker indeedy but lets face it, does anyone in the uk actually belive that a five min plus track the meanders along rather than skips would get any serious airplay?? i doubt it.

"guilt" or "turn" are the only real options from this album,in fact i hope both of em get a single release if only to get some great dance mixes of guilt.

Barney has got taste . Would be my choice, too. A warm nice song for all kind of people (old and young).
