Re: Any Confirmation Yet On Next Single?

Is there going to be another single?!?!?!
I don't really see the point in doing so.
I never really understood the concept behind the stones marketing of a new cd and the singles.
You would think they have the best people in the business to promote it but i personally never see the result. Maybe it's because i live in Holland and not in the states but still, Holland is comparison a big market for them. They always sell a lot of cd's here and there are a lot of people attending the concerts, well maybe not this tour but you catch my drift.
From what i have heard is that the video for Streets of Love was recorded a long time after it was released and i think the next single was about to be released. I would think that that sort of stuff is perfectly planned. If you at U2, now i don't make a musical comparison only a marketing comparison before people start that subject again, they have a perfectly working marketing system behinf there cd's. On the Vertigo tour they released the song Vertigo in the US as the first single because the tour started there and that was there opening song, sort of theme song for the tour. In Europe they released Beautifull day as a first single and then when the tour started here they released Vertigo in Europe. Everybody was singing the "woehoe" part of that song in the train to the concert.
On there last tour they teamed up with a mp3 player type of company to promote there music and there seletion of singles was ones again perfect. Good video's released at the right time to promote them. It all made sence.
Maybe it was not what you were asking for but i studie marketing and i find there marketing interesting but difficult to understand.
Any thoughts on this?
Cheers,
