to fair it doesn't really matter that much I'd guess the single choice but the songs I've listened to the most from the album would be bad single choices lmao ...what have you listened to? lol mostly "Aquaman" and "We Are The Kids"

...what have you listened to? lol mostly "Aquaman" and "We Are The Kids" Well "Aquaman" is great, but it wouldn't work as a single. "We Are the Kids" is good in its own right imo. I always have it stuck in my head, but I never listen to it lol.

Gotta resort to what I said in the "Shut Up And Dance" thread. Different Colors, then Work This Body, then Avalanche IMO.

I'd switch "Different Colors" and "Work This Body" for reasons I've said a bunch of times now lol. "Different Colors" is pretty much a given now as the second single though.

I'm sure you'll grow to love it as a single by the end of its run

THIS SENTENCE IS CAPITALIZED.
This one is not.
C'mon guys, start the argument.

...Anyway, I think "Different Colors" is fine for second even though I'm not particularly fond of it - it can climb Alt while "Shut Up And Dance" gets inevitably run into the ground on the pop formats, then they can "Work This Cross-Format Smash" third.

Am I the only one who thinks "Work This Body" wouldn't be a big crossover hit?

Am I the only one who thinks "Work This Body" wouldn't be a big crossover hit? I don't think it'll be "huge", but I think it's the best option for another Pop hit. I can realistically see a Top 15 showing.

Whoa whoa whoa. lol so now I guess random pop posters I've never seen before are coming to our forum and trying to tell us the way things are "whether we like it or not". Great. I'd like to clarify that I am not a "random pop poster". I've been posting on every part of the board since 2007 under the username B4L. lol @ a random pop poster I've never seen post in this forum coming here and trying to tell us the way things are "whether we like it or not". Well that 'random pop poster' also happens to be a moderator and has posted in the WALK THE MOON threads, along with quite a bit of others, regularly on this forum... Yes. I've enjoyed WALK THE MOON since waaaaaaay before 'SUAD' was even a thought. Well that 'random pop poster' also happens to be a moderator and has posted in the WALK THE MOON threads, along with quite a bit of others, regularly on this forum... Don't really care what their status is. Mod or not, to come out of nowhere to make a snobby post like that is just uncalled for. That would be like me going to the rap forum and calling them out for the way they make their threads. It's just silly. I will say I totally agree with you in that it does not matter whether a user is a moderator/administrator or not. That title does not give me the privilege of posting whatever I want whenever I want. If anything, I hold a higher sense of responsibility because I believe that I am supposed to lead by example. You are 1000% right. That being said, I do see where my post might have come across as "snobby", but I promise you that it wasn't my intention at all whatsoever. It's just my style of posting? Sometimes things I say have come across really terribly. I like to believe that most of the time I am well-spoken and express my thoughts in well thought out sentences, but hey, everybody gets it wrong sometimes. My post had nothing to do with any of you, I just, personally, didn't see the point of changing it from capital letters to lower-case letters because, first of all, it's unimportant, and secondly I just feel that if an artist or band would like to be acknowledged a certain way that people should respect it. Totally OK if nobody else sees it that way, just throwing in my two cents. I wasn't trying to start anything AT ALL! :( I would also like to, again, note that this forum is one of the ones I have been most active on in the past. The majority of the music I listen to comes out of this forum. Yeah, true, but Hefty Hanna has posted in this forum quite a bit. I also find the uncapitalizing of their name dumb considering that's how the band stylizes their name. See, now I've never noticed her before and I'm here quite alot. I'll take your word for it, but honestly that changes absolutely nothing because in no way does that mean she's a regular. And the way you just expressed your opinion is fine. I did the same thing by saying I thought it was messy to have caps. But when a non regular with mod powers comes in and says here's the way things are "whether you like it or not" is just an unnecessary shot at the forum regulars IMO. Certainly rubbed me the wrong way, anyway. And I like most get along with the vast majority of people here... I'm not a regular to any forum nowadays, simply because I just do not have the time to be one, but I will say that I do not like that me not being a regular means that I cannot express my opinion. Saying things like that makes this forum suddenly become unwelcoming and I believe that we all, as posters of this forum, should be encouraging users to participate in conversations about music they like, whether it is pop, rap, country, alternative, or polka music. Again, when writing that post, my intention was never to ruffle anybody's feathers at all. I really am sorry if it was perceived that way Cody. Hopefully we can move on from this and continue discussing WALK THE MOON's future single. Also, 'Work This Body' ftw.

Thanks for the clarification, and sorry for the overreaction. I just don't like it when people I don't see come here and act like they're in charge. I thought that's what you were doing but you've explained that that wasn't your intention at all. Different perceptions is all haha, it's all good!

Am I the only one who thinks that SUAD is going to be their only hit on CHR? Maybe re-releasing "Shiver Shiver" from their first album might do the trick.

I just revisited the album and really, the only song I would disagree with as a single is "Come Under the Covers". Everything else I can live with.
My list, just cuz why not?
1. "Shut Up and Dance" 2. "Work This Body" 3. "Aquaman" 4. "Avalanche" 5. "Different Colors" 6. "We Are the Kids" 7. "Down in the Dumps" (this one has risen from #11. I'm starting to get into a little bit actually) 8. "Up 2 U" (this one has actually fallen from like #2 to here since the album release lol) 9. "Portugal" 10. "Spend Your $$$" 11. "Sidekick" 12. "Come Under the Covers"

Unsurprisingly, it's "Different Colors" - impacts May 5, according to R&R.

Not surprised at all. Guessing a Top 5 Alt prediction and Top 30 Pop and ruining their future chances for a Pop hit lol.

Good choice, at least a lot better than "Work This Body". Will expect a Top 10 for this one.
I guess they're saving "Portugal" for third. ;)
