"Walk Away" with B.o.B should be interesting. It's interesting, but I think they'd have to be insane not to put out If You Ever Come Back as the next single

Walk Away is the clear choice for the next single. And it's nice to see this being top 20.

I have to disagree with you both. "Nothing" is the clear choice for next single and has been since the album was released. I'd be shocked if they went with anything else.
Personally, I'd do Walk Away for the summer (with B.o.B for CHR, without for HAC) and then Nothing in the fall.

3 3 THE SCRIPT For The First Time 4282 4265 17 19.313
Hanging in there but it looks like the song has about peaked. Even if P!nk finally starts dropping, Katy is right behind them with a big bullet.

If you look at the YouTube lyrics videos, Nothing has 4 million views, If You Ever Come Back has 2 million, and Walk Away has 1 million - so I guess I'd go with Nothing, and then If You Ever Come Back - only thing is IMO the choruses to those two songs are really similar, so not sure they can get away with releasing both

Nothing and IYECB were both singles in the UK though, so that would explain higher view counts. It doesn't necessarily mean anything for the US.
I think they need to go with something different sounding for the US next (especially in summer) but that's just me.

Looks like "Nothing" was a poor selection, judging by the worldwide peak positions. "If You Ever Come Back" or "You Won't Feel a Thing" should have been second. I'm expecting one of those to get a US release post-"For the First Time."

I nominate "Walk Away" for single #2 in North America. "Nothing" and "If You Ever Come Back" sound really similar to their other hits and don't interest me. The version of "Walk Away" with B.o.B should also get The Script an easy Top 30 hit on Pop as well.
