"Thrown Down" is the next single!

[joe68]

I just read on another board that this is defintely the next single available the week of Nov. 9.

Whoo hoo!

Hopefully, they'll remix it!

[riff_Shuffler]

Too cool!!!

I've been waiting for this since the album came out... people need to hear this song (& hopefully they will).

Any chance that they will film a "theme video" before taking off for Europe?? Didn't think so. Worth a wishful thought, though.

Josh :)

[rhiannon1119]

Cool! This is one of my favorite songs!

:Merf does her dance of joy:

I am SO happy. And I'm praying they do a concept video. They have about 3 weeks off. A video would take 3 days to shoot. Let's all cross our fingers and keep positive thoughts... that would be SO great for the song and for the album if they did a real video...

[riff_Shuffler]

You said it, Merf!! :nod: :D

It would literally make-my-year!! I am totally into the visuals -- I was hooked when I first saw Stevie twirling in the Gypsy video back in the 80's... I was about 7 years old!!! :laugh:

-I am so (potentially) excited!!!

Josh :wavey:

:rolleyes:

Just had to shoot in and express my disgust, Meredith. :laugh: This song will go over like a lead balloon. They should've gone with Miranda.

Of course, Dissention.... we all know that TD is the bane of your existence... :laugh: I have to respectfully disagree about the "lead balloon" statement... I think it's all up to the radio now, if they play it, and if VH1/MTV plays a [potential] video for the song, then it could become a good hit for them.

And regardless, they will just HAVE to add it to the set list... can't wait to hear boots of this one (before they come back to the US) I can just hear Stevie right now... "This is the next single from our new album Say You Will, except it isn't the song Say You Will, it's the song Thrown Down."

:laugh:

Sweet! I made Sarah do that earlier today with something I said on another board... man I'm on a roll this afternoon ;)

Personally, I would have thought Murrow would have been a good choice.:shocked:

[GardenStateGirlie]

*does happy dance*

This? Will get airplay in the Philadelphia area. :nod: I'm so excited!! Yes, Fleetwood Mac, make a video and hire Meredith and Marissa because we are full of concepts :nod: :D

[PenguinHead]

Shouldn't have those marketing genuises thought to release this single some time ago??? It's just a little late...the momentum has been lost.

And...will it be available to the public? Or will it go the route of the first two "singles" and be promo-only?

For what it's worth...Thrown Down was the song I heard most often on the radio when Say You Will was first released. Perhaps it was just a fluke that some of the folks at the local radio station here in Portland, Oregon considered it a stand-out track. I certainly think so too.

Where is the information coming from on that board? Not trying to dismiss the information but, rather, trying to find out how credible it is.

It is now posted as a top story on http://sln-news.info

It is also listed as an addition to Hot/Modern/AC radio stations starting the week of Nov.10 on http://www1.allaccess.com but that is only available to radio employees. If there are any radio employees reading this with access to this site, perhaps they could give further confirmation.

I am believing it... but I guess we'll see. *crosses fingers for a video*

I think Murrow would be better. It's contemporary and would work on more radio formats. SYW was a lame choice for a single, IMO. It's my least fave song on the album. I think Thrown Down is a better single than SYW, but it should have been the second single, and Murrow the third. Peacekeeper was a good first one.

Just wondering if anyone else caught "Thrown Down" being played in the background on a "Friends" episode last season? That was pretty cool :)

[DownOnRodeo]

I can't wait to hear the single remix if there is one!!

[riff_Shuffler]

Yep, it was great! It fit with what the characters were going through. I loved how Stevie's voice got louder and louder as the episode ended. Friends is of course off to rerun-heaven, so people will hear Thrown Down played for a long time to come. It's a great thing!!

Here Merf. That site says:

NOVEMBER 10
Evanescence "My Immortal" (Wind-Up)
Fleetwood Mac "Thrown Down" (Reprise)
Simple Plan "Perfect" (Lava)

ALBUMS:
Coldplay "Coldplay Live 2003" (Capitol)
Josh Groban "Closer" (Reprise)
LeAnn Rimes "LeAnn Rimes Greatest Hits (To Be Continued)" (Curb)
Pink "Try This" (Arista)


Apparently they're going to release to Hot AC stations. Not smart. It won't be played on any Hot AC stations around here, anyway. When are they going to learn to go AAA? Perhaps if they'd record a damned video.. but noooo.

Sorry Sonia, but I couldn't disagree more in regards to "Murrow ..." being a good choice for a single. As good as the song may be, it's not the least bit radio friendly. SYW was actually a great choice for a single, but these days, radio just isn't that kind to older acts such as Fleetwood Mac, no matter how great the song is.

Thanks, John. Could you tell me what AAA means?

[John Run]

AAA menas Adult Album Alternative.....Quite a mouthful.

Some Current Bands with Songs in AAA Top 30:

REM, Ben Harper, Pete Yorn, Sting, John Mayer, Los Lonely Boys, Howie Day, Sheryl Crow, Dido, Wallflowers.

So a pretty eclectic mix. Kind of music that is too old for today's alternative crowd but not quite as mainstream as HOT AC.

This format has treated the Say You Will singles the best. Peackeeper went to number 3 and Say You Will to 10 on the AAA chart.

Thanks John!!! Well, I'm certainly glad they're sending Thrown Down to AAA! :)

:) We can agree to disagree on this one. I work at a radio station, and we have a sister station that is a top 40 and the Program Director there thought Murrow was more radio friendly than SYW...the reason being it sounds fresh, edgy and it rocks, where as SYW sounds like nostalgic old Fleetwood Mac only not as good as the old stuff (this is not my opinion, it's what he said). Classic artists like Sting and U2 update their sound to be more contemporary and are able to get lots of play on Top 40 radio when they come out with new material because it sounds modern but it still sounds like them. But I know that's just one programmer's opinion, not the industry's (unfortunately).
I think Murrow is very attention-grabbing and almost catchy in addition to being awesome and having a message people can relate to nowadays, so to me it's radio friendly for a younger audience. But that's JMHO. I just love the song :shrug:.
The other problem now is this particular Top 40 station is probably not even gonna play Thrown Down because SYW bombed as a single :distress:.
This is just Top 40, I have no idea about other radio formats. Let's hope Thrown Down gets a chance :D
