My prediction:

Half of the fanbase will approve of the single,
25 percent will not
and still another 25 percent won't be sure what to think.

If I remember right, there was a few other big releases in the same week (Elton John I think and some other too) so I could say #10 or not better at least.

If it doesn't get released simultaneously in other coutries and somebody uploads it to Youtube for everyone (including people outside the US) to see, is it allowed to post a link to that Youtube video here? I guess no, but I want to be sure.
Definitely no. The only links that can be posted are to sites that are authorised to stream it.

Thanks.

Is it just me, or is the fact that pages of this thread are taken up by cheeky song references extremely disheartening?

I am looking forward to the single. I wasn't going to listen to it, but I know I can't do it.

I think higher due to the number of fans now.  Also depends on how good TEW is.

Very tedious.  It's one of the reasons I didn't stick around after the last album was released.

My prediction is this:

33% will love it
33% will hate it
33% not sure
1% will not listen and wait until September

Half will approve
25% Won't
25% Arent sure what to think..

And it will be the subject of a Great Debate

Maybe not on Monday. Let's wait for people to digest it and decide Another Day.

This will be the first single DT's released since I became a fan!

I guess I should say...

This single will be A Rite of Passage for me. :neverusethis:

First single release since you became a fan? Cool!

Yup. I've only been an actual fan for a few months now. So this album is especially exciting for me. First DT album release, first tour, first DVD release. It's good to be a DT fan. :biggrin:

I wonder why there's lots of people changing "inside"  to "within" in the song title.  I do agree though that within is a more "sophisticated" word.
