Best choice in my opinion :)
Although even though I know it won't happen, I still would've loved for "If I Lose Myself" to be given a second chance. Should've smashed :'(

It definitely could smash in the US just like Summertime Sadness remix by Cedric Gervais!

The best choice, it just screams winter smash, imo. Save Something I Need for summer, it's a summery song. Then in a perfect world they'd release Can't Stop next Fall to top off an amazing era (I'm just pretending Counting Stars was the first single at this point).

Nice song and all but c'mon OneRepublic, lets not get too hasty with this. I know you guys are new to this releasing multiple singles in the same year thing but Counting Stars is barely into its 9th week on the top 40 chart. ;)

I would have liked to see an "If I Lose Myself" re-release too. That song still sounds like a hit to me.

Sounds like a good choice for their fourth single. I agree that "If I Lose Myself should have smashed. I don't think that they will re-release that.

Love this song. This and "Preacher" were my favorite tracks that weren't released as singles (yet).

For me, it was either this or Something I Need. I hope it does well!

Just bumping to note that Interscope has confirmed this as the next single, uploading it to their promotional SoundCloud account.

Good song, but c'mon, Something I Need is totally the obvious choice here!

Well I guess I'm ready for this. "Counting Stars" as already made #1, and now we can rest easy with the single choices.
And for you "Something I Need" stans, be patient. Its time will come soon.

This is just SCREAMING to be used in a Biggest Loser montage.

What about "Burning Bridges"? :o Well, this is not bad either.

This has already screamed 90210 and The Office series finales last year...
Where did the Burning Bridges buzz come from? Is it following Something I Need overseas or something? I want I Lived first, but BB should follow.

I Lived is definitely the right choice. It might be a little early to release for summer, but it reminds me of a perfect summer song. Their singles take a little while to take off though so this might work out. Then release Burning Bridges after, or the IILM Alesso remix (though maybe just leave it be... idk).

I hope this takes off ASAP because if not I fear they may release the "If I Lose Myself" remix in the US too :(

I don't see this doing anything on the charts. They should have just re-released IILM and closed the era. Let's be honest, I don't think ANYONE saw Counting Stars blowing up as huge as it did, so this era has already been a bigger success than I thought it would be.

They should have just re-released IILM and closed the era. What about "Something I Need"? It was a major top 10 hit in Australia and New Zealand, so it's definitely shown potential; can't see a reason why they should end the era without giving it a shot.

This is decent enough, but who needs decent with "Burning Bridges" waiting in the wings?
