The Maine - XOXO: From Love and Anxiety In Real Time (July 9, 2021) Album • Page 39

No way Pretender gets an attempt at radio push. If they really wanna' aim for radio play it would be High Forever or DPB.

 

The next single should be High Forever.

 

I can't really sit here and say what they should do as a next single, since I probably haven't listened to mainstream radio in about 2 years. I stream Spotify at all times.

 

Really love that they don't pretend CSWS doesn't exist when they make set lists. Into Your Arms is such a classic.

 

Also because the radio stations in MA suck.

 

I can't really see Pretender on the radio but I also never expected the Maine to be on the radio in general.

We listen to Altnation and some of the stuff they play is completely random. That new Lorde song is a snoozefest and they play that a lot. I just feel like these guys are really riding this wave right now and they aren't going to let it fall off once Sticky has run it's course.

I lowkey hate High Forever so I hope that's not it. DPB would be my choice

 

Whatever they do I hope their last record is called NEON lol

 

Yeah they just need to do a Radio edit for DPB like Jason said but that seems like it'd be a great single. Not much else I could see working excepte *maybe* Lips.

 

Or the radio should gfi

 

I have a friend that tells me about listening to the radio and I'm like.. tf??!?! Like get some damn Spotify or AM on your damn phone. To be clear, he's got the money to do it.

 

Agreed. Love that they busted out their Punk Goes Crunk "I Wanna Love You" cover in their 2019 tour as well

 

I've been on the Spotify train since 2010 and I've never looked back.

 

the radio stations in CA all still are playing Sublime, too. I couldn't function without my Apple Music sub.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love Sublime, but....Come oooonnnnn

 

Feel like Lips would be the obvious choice for a radio push, personally. Even before Sticky, tbh.

 

I can respect that. Sticky just screams clear single to me. The lyrics even tell you it should be a single

 

It definitely works as a single, and obviously with hindsight we know it was the right choice, I just think Lips is such an infectious jam that it screams single to me.

 

I mean they hit the nail on the head with this song in general. I can relate so hard to the song and what it represents 150%.

 

I love High Forever. I feel like I’m missing something as a lot of folk don’t seem to rate it.

 

I like High Forever a lot too. Glad it's on the record, though it seems like it could've easily also fit as a John The Ghost song.

 

I heard Sticky in American Eagle the other week

 

That's when you KNOW you've made it

 

I want them to have their 'Feel It Still' moment so bad.

 

My fiancée loves listening to xm. She likes feeling like she's listening to the radio with other people, and she likes the commentary of the hosts. She also doesn't like picking artist/or songs. She'd rather just throw on the radio. It drives me insane but it's something she just doesn't care about anymore

When we went to the beach, I made a playlist of all the stuff they plan on altnation as a happy medium haha

 

High Forever definitely songs the most like stuff on the radio rn in this genre. Personally I'd want Dirty Pretty Beautiful to get more push.
