As it is, we're more likely to see a pre-festivities release of one of many pending releases, most probably the Copenhaguen blu-ray. (Otherwise, Disco 5 and Besides are also overdue, although them rather for the next year or two).
Schlager is an excellent choice. You have to see it in a Christmas version with Christmas bells and so fourth. A video were Neil and Chris exchange gifts in a well decorated mountain cabin - obviously in the German alps. With Schlager musicians walking in the streets celebrating Christmas. in the end they meet Andrew Ridgeley and have a beer and give him a gift :D :D

Perhaps add a pudding mix done by Andrew Ridgeley to the tracks :D

Expecting a 5th single from this type of 10 track album is delusional. Obviously, I hope I’m wrong but there’s probably more chance, as others have said, of a RSD release or 12” release on the website.

What I am hoping for is a deluxe version of Nonetheless.

Time will tell.

Agree with the D5 bit but Naked is still a long way off by all accounts.Maybe one to go with Dreamworld dvd?
"Naked" (or whatever they are going to call it) is not going to be released this year, it's too soon. "Disco 5" is a possibility but not very clear. They have stuff for an EP easily and 2 songs that could work well for Christmas time: "Why am I dancing?" and "Schlager" (I think both could have an improved single version). "Low is the law" doesn't sound like an appropiate song for that time of the year.
Naked is at least two years away, I'd say. I hope Disco 5 doesn't see the light of day as it's a brand that should never have become a brand. Disco was an album perfect for its time. Disco 2 was a piece of shit, dreamt up during a particularly decadent cocaine session at the moment PSB nearly jumped the shark; fortunately the water-skis snapped and the shark's teeth fell out due to insufficient brushing, just in time.

I don't think Parlophone wanted to put so much money for the video. :P

Y'know I think there's still an opportunity to make "Schlager..." a 5th single - or more likely an EP as someone already suggested.

Give it a Christmassy remix and edit for radio friendly, and b/w a new radio mix and longer remix of "Why Am I Dancing?", a couple of new b-sides and Robert is your fathers brother. I don't think Chris' version should be a limiting factor here.

Now Schlager even has an official video with Neil & Chris in it. It just needs a proper cover artwork to count as a (promo) single :dance:

Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book. If I could read your mind, I think I'd take a look.

I have a sneaking suspicion there will be another single, maybe early next year, to tie in with another release. It may not be from the album...

Christmas will bring a new track, I reckon.

Maybe an attempt at a double A-side, like Streets.

Something more Pop than the Arty Nonetheless.
