Posted by bjk3047:Well now, that's a whole 'nother pot of gold. Singles are not picked on a democracy based system. The label puts out singles that they think will make the album sell. They don't give a flying f*** as to who sings the song. If Bob the talking baby sang the song and it meant more sales than a kick-ass song, Bob wins. It's just the sad truth.

True...they are released to promote and sell an album. Therefore the songs that are released are typically the stronger songs that do appeal to a larger audience. More so than not, songs that are released would be classified as "kick ass" songs. And hey if it puts money in my pocket, lets my band keep touring and recording.....then thank you Christine and Stevie for writing most of the hit singles and of course to Lindsey for adding the "magic" with the stellar rhythm section of John and Mick added in.
P.S. I never felt slighted AT ALL......REALLY!
