Hehe if integral won't be in top 20 they should not released it. Top 5 or nothing

Excuse me, but... I'd read about limitation of BFI, about three formats of single release and no more. If that's true, we could say "bye!" to 7" or DVD single...

7" is no great loss! I think Numb sold a couple of hundred copies on 7inch.

And it's all about marketing and promotion, which of course the Boys used to be so good at!

In market and chart meanings - yes, indeed, but vynil lover as I am just beg to differ with you, sorry...
Although, idea about keys (USB flash/memory card/something kind of, you mean?) is quite topical. When Keane and Robbie were about releasing their own "memory"-stuff, mass-media much spoke about this. And song about ID card deserved to be released like this rather than "A Bad Dream".
...Oh God, I hope, nobody is about to start new poll "What kind of formats you prefer for Integral?"?

For sure in top20 with some chances to enter in the buttom part of top10

I don't think that there will be problems to have a 7'' and a DVD single: for Minimal and I'm with stupid they've released three digital format and the 7' too for both. But I preffer a DVD to a 7'' for sure.

*blink blink*

Fourth single off an album available for ages.
Out on Parlophone, i.e. crap tracklisting. (2x7" + downloads seems quite likely)
Pet Shop "Bloody 'erl, those old gay men?" Boys.

I'll be surprised if it even scrapes the bottom of top 30.

It's too early to predict chart positions for Integral.

It depends on:
- timing (busy or calm week for new releases)
- competition (other singles, already in the charts)
- airplay (will radio stations play the new single)
- state of the single (will it be the album version, a slight or radical remix)
- formats (which formats will there be)
- tracklisting (what will be on the formats, to make them interesting)
- promotion (will PSB actively promote the single)

Basically we know exactly NONE of these yet....

LOL, yes. You have a valid point there

I sort of forgot...

But somehow a release of Integral seems likely to me. I can't believe that EMI will make the same mistake twice: releasing a PSB Disco album without any promotion.

Then again, every Disco album has been released without any kind of massive promotion, certainly in the form of a single. So, if Disco 4 is released, the lack of a preceding single wouldn't be anything new.

Wasn't Suburbia released a year after Please (to promote Disco 1)? It was a major hit in my days.

I think Suburbia served as support for Disco 1, Yesterday When I Was Mad was released one week before Disco 2.
