Post a song that REALLY should have been a single

[dUb]

BIG @ KENDRICK LAMAR for blocking this

NICHE CONTENT ALERT but I genuinely think this is the biggest missed opportunity of all time cc @SDF

[AGinAg (37)]

 

[Jark]

this song immediately comes to mind



how do you sit on a track this good?

 

[Ellie]

 

[Nancy]

 

[Suomi]

a risk that could have paid off big

 

[Frozen]

 

[jivafox]

 

[Jark]

a clear smash, that chorus is everything.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I go back to this one more than I do the actual singles off the album, whatever they were



The squelching! The BELLS!

"Cruel Summer" seems like the biggest missed opportunity of her career. I like "Paper Rings" but don't think it would have made a great single.

Cruel Summer would surely have been #1 everywhere, forever.

Should have been FIRST single...

YES YES AND YES

First single in fact..

One of her all time best

It was genuinely giving me anxiety that they didn't release it by Summer 2019, I knew the momentum of the campaign would be too weak to release it the following summer God forbid they release it off season

I for one like this so much more than ‘Believe’

 

[BoysForSeles]

It was going to be but then the project was abandoned when the album bombed.

"Everything I Hate" and "Desire" seem like they would have been decent hits with a bit of a push. "State of Mind" is the best song, but not sure it had the most hit potential.

 

[Jark]

probably my favourite Mariah song ever these days and a surefire smash. in my head it's her signature song.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[RJN]

How about Action? I feel like it had potential

I thought it was a single somewhere, no? I know they were very cautious against breaking her US #1 streak at that time, but "Can't Let Go" is the slightly superior song, though I love both. And I think it was wise of them to go with an uptempo for single #3 with "Make it Happen".

 

[POP!]

Plus "Infatuation"

 

[POP!]

How about Action? I feel like it had potential

That too, and "Curious", but the prospect of a four or five single deep Holly Valance campaign seems a bit like GAY FAN FIC but I guess here we are

 

[Frozen]

 

[RJN]

Maybe my favorite Prince song ever and I feel it could have been a hit (in the 80s, when I believe it was recorded)

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I am interrupting the usual programming of this thread to bring this masterpiece to everyone's attention.



I died a hundred times honestly.

In a fairer world this not only would have been a single back in the day when Facebook offered Anohni the money years ago but also it would have been number 1 everywhere.

Anyway, back to our pop girls..
