there is no way this is true, no way. From the tweet, to that fact that they are saying "Bigger" is being released when Justin said Baby is out January 18, it just doesnt add up.
wish it was true tho :'(

I still don't think this is true... It would be amazing though... If would feel like a post-christmas miracle LOL The song is the one with the most hit potential in the album IMO If they are really releasing it as a single, I can see it being a radio smash, but I'm doubtful about it bringing the album back to life

I like this song, but I think that the only song that could be some kind of hit right now would be Walking On Snow

If this isn't released and SOS really was the last single off of Battlefield so many potential hits will have been wasted :( No Parade, Walking On Snow, It Takes More, Watch You Go, The Cure... all of those had hit potential if they were released in the right order. I stick with the theory that if she had released 2 more singles from her first album than she could have returned much stronger with this one. She should have released Freeze and Next To You.

That would've given her more momentum for this album and it would've pushed the release of Battlefield back to the holiday season, meaning more sales. Still hope this is a hit if it actually is getting released.

I really hope this is a single, the chorus and the bridge are to die for. It's so good.

I really hope this is true. I wanted No Parade as a single since the first time I heard it. Great hit potential if Jive backs it well.

I like this. I wish her the best, I think it's too late now to save the album, but it would be nice if she got another hit.

I wouldn't count Jordin Sparks out just yet. SOS was a definite misstep, but radio seems to have a healthy appetite for Jordin mid-tempos. Her niche is songs like No Air and OSAAT -- I think they've acted quickly enough to get Jordin back in the good graces of pop radio and make this a hit.

Ugh. Well, the album is now officially over. What a way to waste an extremely radio friendly album. Faith is about the only worse song they could've chosen, imo.

I think the reason why Jordan is floundering this era is because the material she came out with simply isn't up to snuff at all. Every one is saying that this is a great album filled with so much mainstream hit material yet there is not one song on the album that I downloaded aside from Battlefield. The album simply doesn't have suitable material for CHR, certainly not as much as her debut which had some songs I really liked. To me nothing on the album matches Tatoo, No Air or Freeze and that's what she needed to remain relevant. She has lost quality in her songs and now that explains why her sales are so weak and why radio has lost interest.

LOL, and what choice do you think would be better? All of them except Faith, and probably Was I the Only One would be better. I would've went with It Takes More if they wanted a ballad or Watch You Go if they wanted an uptempo.

This song is pretty similar to Worth the Wait.

Yeah. I think all of the songs I listened to from her album sounded like rejects for a Disney soundtrack.

Being as I liked three or four songs from her last album. But this album was just a giant step backward for her.

I can kind of hear the similarities except to me this is like a more fine-tuned, finished version of it. It has that 'big' feeling whereas Worth the Wait is kinda more laidback.

I'm just confused then why you would say they sounded like Disney soundtrack rejects if you really gave the album a fair shot. Not liking the album is one thing, but your description of the songs seems very odd to me. Seems like you're just stereotyping her music because of her clean image. If anything Battlefield was a more mature album than her debut.

I don't really get why people say "radio has given up on her". She had two singles this era, one of which was a top 10 hit, the other one flopped. Radio ignored SOS because it sucked and was a weak track, plain and simple.
Battlefield is a solid album but my problem with it was that she didn't show much artistic growth from her debut. It's only a slight step up from her debut album when it comes to maturity. I feel like she still lacks a sense of artistry and direction, so hopefully her next album is a bit more of a step up when it comes to artistry...a little more of "her", not just songs her label gave her. She has a lot of potential and is one of the most talented singers out there right now, she just needs to come into her own a bit.

I don't see how you can say it's one of the least radio-friendly on the album. I mean are you really saying Was I the Only One has more potential? I guess I disagree with the critics then. This song always sounds like it's trying way too hard to me, and never pulls off the epic pop ballad niche it's going for. And I think that will be obvious when people hear it on the radio. It will come off as a wannabe track. I definitely think The Cure is a better single choice. If just for the fact that The Cure is similar to Leona's Better in Time, and that did great on pop. Don't Let it Go to Your Head has a lot of potential on CHR as a pop song, opposed to the rock vibe it had originally with Fefe Dobson. The hook is the type of stuff pop hits are made of. It just needed to be remade into a pop song, which Jordin did, and I see no reason why it wouldn't work on CHR. As I said though, I think It Takes More and Watch You go were the two songs that needed to be released most of all after Battlefield.

Hey, here's hoping this does do well, because then she'll get a 4th single, and then maybe some of the real hits can finally be released.

From the very first listen I thought "No Parade" was the smash waiting to happen. "SOS" was a really strange, bad choice--people don't want to hear that from Jordin.
While I agree that this album isn't her best work, it has some solid songs on it. There's no reason why, if supported by Jive, "No Parade" couldn't go at least top 20.

I think this album is leaps and bounds better than her first one. The only downside is that it doesn't have a "No Air" attached to it.
