The missing single

Out of these two new albums, is there a song that could be a top 10 single or 1,000,000 views youtube video. Unfortunately, I don't see one. It's always nice to have a good single to latch onto when experiencing an album. Some possibilities:

Way Back Home - rock or pop stations perhaps?
AOC - with a clever, well produced tongue-in-cheek video
Breakdown - an edit with the first two lines removed might do ok
Another Love - rock stations?

Hmmm

Why do you need an edit with the first two lines removed from The Breakdown??

Ps) wasn't Breakfast Can Wait & Clouds the first Singles.... however without any real Prince musicvideo?

Because the lyrics are terrible, they sound so contrived. I have to cringe my way through the first two verses of The Breakdown until I can enjoy it.

I got two sides... and they're both friends.

This Could Be Us or Time would be my picks.

I have thought about this recently, and I think that song wise, there are a number of options. The real issue is how he gets it to the public.

...

For instance, if Prince released a video of him singing "Breakdown" live in concert, I think people would really watch it. Why in the hell one of the greatest live acts out there doesn't release well-produced videos of him performing live is beyond me.

...

If you recall, such videos are why Fleetwood Mac had a big resurgence in the 90s. Stevie Nicks gave a great live performance of "Silver Spring".

I think Funknrolk AOA remix has huge potential to be a hit. It's insanely catchy and really contemporary sounding. I'm sure it'll be yet another wasted opportunity though.....

"U Know" is the only song out of either of these album that is remotely close to being a single in todays market.
