The album is out in October, according to Billboard. This will be the lead US single, it was the lead UK single too, peaked at #5.
I think this might have a better chance than 'Maybe', because it's a more straightfoward song. But she's an ex-spice girl, and she's on the 19 label. So if this even makes the top 50 i'll be surprised.
You can hear a clip on her officialwebsite (www.emmabuntonofficial.com) or download it easily enough. It should be up on allaccess soon anyway.

She should've went with "Maybe." "Free Me" is okay.. nothing that stands out and it's safe. I like it more than "Maybe," but "Maybe" is love it or hate it and it's more original.

'Maybe' flopped everywhere it was released except the UK & Italy, so far, so they probably made a wise decision. If canadian radio won't play 'Maybe' why would American?

Americans think they're cool and trendsetters! Remember they gave life back to BBMak, among other artists who flopped elsewhere.

I wouldn't count this in as the first single until it's up for adds. My guess is that they take a completely different approach to the album over here. There's no way in hell I'll Be There or Crickets could be released and Lay Your Love On Me and Breathing need to be released.

Is Maybe that song where she's like dancing in an Austin Powers sort of line in the video, and she's like "Da da da da da, daaa daaa daa daa"

This will flop. Why on earth would US radio give Emma Bunton the time of day? I actually like her and have her album but I think it's the kind of thing only fans would be into with limited appeal. "Maybe" is the stand-out song by far - at least they should try releasing that rather than "Free Me" which is pretty bland and has 0 chance of being a hit. "Maybe" is so good and could catch on if it were promoted right.

I'm gonna say Top 20, because its somewhat different that radio would actually spin it.
Emma's presenting at the VMA's tomorrow, I guess that's where she'll start her promotion.

Yes, she's presenting at the VMA's. Victoria Beckham presented at the MTV Movie Awards, it's not that surprising.

Emma did not present - she just interviewed on the red carpet for a UK television station T4. She also attended Usher's after party.

From The Sun:
Top US agency Susan Blond Inc, whose stable includes Usher, Prince, Britney Spears and N*E*R*D, has snapped [Bunton] up.

Has this got an adds date yet? I was shocked to look at mediabase and notice that she has 26 spins on pop already. I wouldn't have expected this to get that in total, let alone one week. :o

Where did this song get spins? it MIGHT have worked over the summer, but definitely not now! The first single should be Maybe.

Where did this song get spins? Mediabase has WXXX as its only leader or starter with 3 spins. Maybe it got played on a syndicated show. |

The first single should be Maybe. I agree. I like this song, but "Maybe" stands out so much more. |

I was actually hoping for "Crickets" as the first single. That track rocked, in my opinion! "Maybe" was alright, and I haven't heard "Free Me" for some weird reason.

Just recently heard "Maybe" and I don't see how it would do better than "Free Me". Either way I like both songs.... Still no adds date?
