The Singles that never were?
Chester said on March 30, 2003 14:15:
I was wondering which album tracks everyone think should have been singles?
I think:- Things Will Never Be The Same
Crush On You
What’s She Like?
Lies / I’m Sorry (Double A Side)
& Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla.......

Waiting for the rain.
I don’t want to get hurt also should have been released comercially (not just promo as I think it was - in Brazil isn’t it ?).

from one heart to another - instead of soul deep
give you up - instead of chances
perfect day - instead of church of your heart
the rain - instead of queen of rain
what’s she like - instead of run to you
double a-side quiero ser como tu / i don’t wanna to get hurt - instead of un dia sin ti (promoting Balados en espanol and re-animating Don’t Bore Us)
crush on you - instead of anyone (obviously)
it will take a long long time - extra single from HAVE A NICE DAY (following the feature in the movie RUNAWAY BRIDE)
looking for jane - 4th single from ROOM SERVICE
make my head go pop - 5th single from ROOM SERVICE
breathe - instead of a thing about you
little miss sorrow - instead of opportunity nox (obvious... better lyrics, more alternative, more complicated, easier to sing along)

I think “Fool” And “Looking For Jane” could have been Room Service singles.

Pearls Of Passion:
-Surrender (5th single release)
-From One Heart To Another (6th single release)
Look Sharp!:
-Sleeping Single or Half A Woman, Half A Shadow (as the 6th single if there was room to squeeze them in!)
Joyride:
-(Do You Get) Excited? (double A side with ’Church Of Your Heart’ or release it as the 6th single if they pushed back ’Tourism’)
-Things Will Never Be The Same (7th single...again, ’Tourism’ issue) (the whole ’Joyride’ project was running so well that they could have easily squeezed out a few more hits)
Tourism:
-The Rain (if it didn’t interfere with the release of ’Almost Unreal’)
Crash! Boom! Bang!:
-Love Is All (Shine Your Light On Me) (double A side with ’Vulnerable’)
Don’t Bore Us:
-I Don’t Want To Get Hurt (maybe tie in the Spanish version with the release of ’Baladas En Espanol’)
Have A Nice Day:
-Crush On You (as the 5th single)
-It Will Take A Long Long Time (’Modern Rock Version’ as the 6th single)
-Pay The Price (as the 7th single OR double A-side the above 2 as the 6th single release)
Room Service:
-Looking For Jane (as the 4th single)
-My World, My Love, My Life (as the 5th single)
-Fool (as the 6th single)
The Ballad Hits:
-Breathe (as the 2nd single/future single for the fall of 2003)

-Little Miss Sorrow (as the 2nd single for the summer of 2003!)

@ boykie19
If Chances was replaced with Paint, Roxette would have made even less impact on the Continent.. You got to admit: Chances IS a little cathier. :)
