Charlie Brown vs. Princess Of China (The post album paradox)

[RazorEye]

I never thought this would happen again, but Coldplay have ran into the same ditch they ran into roughly over 3 years ago. A paradox, one I like to call the "Lost/Lovers paradox".

We have 2 singles in the works yet to be released in public. The more successful charting song, Princess Of China (Lost!) and the heavily promoted, fan favourite, Charlie Brown (Lovers in Japan). Trust me, we are in the EXACT same position now from November 2008.

What would you do if you were Coldplay at this moment?

A- Go for Princess Of China and release it as early as possible, overshadowing Charlie Brown in the process? (just like 3 years ago)

OR

B- Hold off the release of Princess Of China, potentially sacrificing sales in the process?

OR

C- Forget both of them and release... Car Kids :sneaky:

[Ouch]

^ LOL :wink3:

^^ YES!!

last time they ended up killing both singles on the process...hope they make it different this time. I really love CB and think it has the potencial to become a big hit. PoC may go well on the charts too, but mostly because of the "feat. Rihanna" label (have you seen how many hit colaborations she has?). Coldplay have 2 big songs on the way, hope they release it right.

Charlie Brown has so much potential, itd be a shame to see it get overshadowed by something as pop as PoC.
