Which song would make the best 2nd single? The problem with this album (at least when looking at it from a marketing standpoint) is that it's one of those where as a whole, it is very good, but when you pick the songs apart, there are no obvious singles. I was a little disappointed that Max Martin and Shellback couldn't come up with something that was an undeniable smash single, but overall I'm more happy that they put the most effort into making a really good album over just trying to get a radio hit. That said, I could see The Original High and Rumors (especially because of Tove Lo) being singles.

I just finished listening to this album, and as a whole it's a very strong piece of work, but IDK about individual song replay value. I liked "Ghost Town" "The Original High" "Another Lonely Night" and "Rumors" the most.

Bonus tracks are out. They're trash. They're seriously really bad. I was disappointed by all of them as well. The quality of them was just not up to par.

Adam was fantastic on GMA. His vocals are always on fire, and he exudes sexiness. I so want to see him live one day.
The Original High grew a lot on me ever since the first time I listened to it. It took me a while but I'm liking more songs than I did at first. "The Light", "Lucy", and "There I Said It" are fighting for favorite song on the record now.

I actually really dig them and find them more interesting than some of the album tracks. They almost sound like an introduction to an entire new album. I'm curious to see what would come if Adam continued in that direction.

this album is really solid, definitely more cohesive and toned down than his previous efforts. however, i still prefer the genre crossing fye the best.
i have a long list of favorites and likes, with just two songs i can't really get into. it seems like im in the minority with ranking "evil in the night" low - it plays well live but there are way too many cliches in the lyrics for me to get past.
again, fantastic album. i will definitely be playing it throughout the whole summer just surprised adam didn't make sure there were at least two sure fire pop radio earworms as he has made it clear breaking on radio is important for him (especially by teaming up with hitmaker max martin). "the original high" is the most radio accessible imo and has a summer vibe to it so should be the second single.
favorites "ghost town" "the original high" "another lonely night" "underground" "lucy" "the light" "after hours" "these boys"
like "rumors" "things i didnt say" "heavy fire" "shame"
just so so on "there i said it" "evil in the night"

After a couple listens through the entire deluxe edition album, it is incredible. And his 3 performances on GMA were great too. He's really become a good looking guy and he sounds better than ever. Glad he's back in the pop world.

This album is so good. My favorites are "The Original High," and "The Light," while "Rumors" and "Evil In the Night," are both really good as well.

Another Lonely Night seems like the obvious next single to me. It's got a solid constant beat and hook, and easily identifiable elements (the "Yeah"/moo before the chorus), but I think it might have more success on Hot AC than Pop. I think HAC should be his target format from now on.

I wonder if that information is confirmed though? He has been performing several non-single tracks on different tv shows etc, so maybe that’s what he did here too and the host was just confused and mistakenly thought TOH is the next single. But I think TOH is a really good choice for a second single. Rumors should be released as a single too at some point, but to me it sounds more like a winter single, whereas TOH has a late summer/early autumn vibe.

I actually think The Original High is one of the only on the album that seems a bit generic and dated. Considering how he has to fight for any chart success he can get, I think it would be a total flop. So yeah, hope it's not the next single. Rumors could do a lot of damage on the charts, don't understand why it wouldn't be that.

the announcer on that show used the term brand new single but I don't think that was intended to be any sort of announcement that it is the second single...I suspect that it was just meant to refer to a new song...he's performed TOH at a bunch of promo things where hes done more than one song..since its the title track it makes sense that he would sing it...love the song.one of my favorites from the album...

I actually wouldn't mind if the title track was the second single. "Rumors" actually doesn't wow me at all - I think that song would actually have worked better if it was a solo track by either Adam or Tove, putting them together on it yielded a result that feels like less than the sum of its parts. Plus, in Tove's case...she's had her own "Habits" and "Talking Body" hit here, plus she was on Alesso's "Heroes" which did okay as well. Now, she's about to release "Moments"...I fear that releasing "Rumors" now with that also pending could have the side effect of dragging either or both songs down (five singles with her name attached released in roughly a year's time? Yikes), which would likely be fatal to this album here.
