Okay, I took your suggestions and did the following:
I created a grid of 6 releases (if you suggested less than 6, I just left the latter ones blank). I then added points per position (so a song suggested for first release got 6 points, for 2nd release got 5 points, etc.). Here's the result so far:
"Moonlight" (total points 42) and "In Your Dreams" (total points 38) are the absolute top choices. People just seem to vary mainly in which should be first, which second.
"Italian Summer" is in third place with a total of 12 points and is also most often listed by people as the third or fourth potential single.
"You May Be The One" comes in at fourth with 13 total points. When it gets mentioned it gets mentioned higher than "Italian Summer", as being the 2nd or 3rd single, but fewer people choose it than choose "Italian Summer".
"Annabel Lee" comes in fifth with 12 total points. The people that choose it pick it as a top release (such as second single) but again fewer people in total have selected it.
"Wide Sargasso Sea" places sixth with 10 total points, the bulk of them coming from 1 person who selected it as the "shoulda been" single.
"New Orleans"/"Secret Love" tie with 7 points each and usually place later in the release order. The people who chose "Secret Love" were citing it as a single but a "should have been released later" single.
"Everybody Loves You" places a surprising (to me) 9th place with a total of 6 points. The highest it places with someone is as the 4th single, and others pegged it as the fifth or sixth single.
StandBackStevie: for consistency I just used your pop song release list.
