But Akon did sod all to promote HMH.
That's true! Either way, we need a funky MJ jam in the charts, it's been too long.
^ Don't be so negative. The album is doing quite well, and could do better with a monster hit on it. I'm sure Sony realises this. At least 3 songs could be this monster hit: Behind the Mask, Monster, Another Day. I seem to be the only one not seeing Hollywood Tonight's hit potential. Maybe if the spoken bridge was cut and chhanged for a rap or rather more Michael. More Michael is always good. I really think if Hold My Hand would be all Michael it would have been a bigger succes. The first verse is just divine because of him, the rest is just ok.
I'm not being negative, I just don't see the point in releasing a second single if they don't bother to promote it much.
HMH was the lead single and the promo was a bit lacklustre. I don't see them pulling out all the stops to promote a second single.
I agree with the opinion earlier that they just might not release a second single. I like seven of the tracks on "Michael" but I don't really feel any of them fit in today's market. And that's okay. I LOVE "Best of Joy" and "Much Too Soon," and I haven't heard anything like these gems on the radio in ages. Now, "Blue Gangster" or "Slave to the Rhythm"? Killer hits, IMHO.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem as if Sony are that interested in pushing the album, so it really doesn't seem any point in releasing any more singles.
I swear if it gets more singles than Invincible (two) I'm gonna be pissed. They really couldn't wait 'til he was dead could they?Behind The Mask or Hollywood Tonight would make great singles.

Indeed it is. I can count another seven potential singles from that record.
What singles (those without controversy) are there on Michael? I think:
Hollywood Tonight in a shorter edit - bring it back to three minutes.
Another Day with a longer and harder three-minute Buckethead solo.
Behind The Mask without the nothing-to-add crowd noise.
Best Of Joy as is.
Great idea!
Lets scare the bejesus out of 98% of MJ's fanbase.
Turn it into something like Shackler's Revenge. It'd be worth a laugh at least.
I remember watching Orianthi on TII and thinking how amazing it would be to see Buckethead do the Beat It solo.
We all know BH is a fan, but I don't know if MJ would've been comfortable sharing a stage with someone more eccentric than he is.
Traditionally the second single from his albums has always been an up tempo single so I guess we'll just have to wait for the news from Sony.
I hope something does get released. I think with holidays it might get overlooked so hopefully once it's over something will happen. I hope.:angel:
Not for a while now. HIStory; You Are Not Alone, Invincible; Cry.
