Well, On And On is one that I was thinking of. It's a nice, fast-paced song about dancing! So what better way to follow up a ballad than with a dance song? Plus, it's kinda funny to think about someone saying "gay parade" on radio. I also really love Dirty Desire, and it could continue in the vein of I Kissed A Girl with the kind of controversial summer hit status. It's already pretty popular with people that I know, and I've always liked it. It has the crossover appeal between Pop and Rhythmic, and it's a fun song with a possibly very sexy MV.
But with the debate between This One and Apple & Cinnamon, I'd have to go with Apple & Cinnamon. I personally just don't find it that good. It doesn't seem to have that breezy catchiness of A&C. Plus, many people would probably see a parallel between the chorus of Umbrella (by Rihanna) and the chorus of This One because they sound very much alike. Would we really want our Hikki being accused of stealing a melody? It's very unlikely, but hey, it could happen!  |

Assuming there are four singles planned (though keep in mind this is a 10-track album, which could imply less singles- though it probably wouldn't), I think it would be good to have a fair balance between ballads and dance songs. It makes each single a tough choice, because the album is practically composed of potential hits- except for maybe "Poppin'" and "Me Muero", all of the songs have potential, including "Dirty Desire". I actually don't think "Come Back to Me" was a fantastic choice for the first single, but there's nothing that can be done about that. In my opinion, having two dance songs and then a ballad would be suitable- and I can certainly see IDJ choosing "Dirty Desire" for the next single on that basis.
Of course, if I ruled the world, "FYI" would be next, followed by "On and On" and wrapping up the singles with "This One (Crying Like a Child)". It's hard to make the choice between "Apple & Cinnamon" and "This One", but ultimately I think the latter is more suitable for radio and also gives a different pop/rock feel to Utada (as opposed to the R&B feel of CBTM) that shows her versatility as an artist. "Takin' My Money Back" would also be really good for the summer, I think, because it's so laid back and simplistic, and I could actually see TMMB being bigger than "FYI" in the long run, but I think it would be at the cost of Utada's image, especially if they choose "Dirty Desire" for the next single. So, I think what it's going to come down to is what the record company decides to promote Utada as. If they want her to be a pop/R&B goddess, I can easily see "Dirty Desire" and TMMB playing on radio, and probably doing rather well. If they want her to be seen as an artist, however, they'll probably go with "FYI" and "On and On". Either way, I'm pretty sure "This One" is going to finish off the singles- I would be surprised if the (sort of) title song didn't get a single release. EDIT: I also have to say that I would be delighted if "Automatic, Pt. II" was the second single. Not because I think it would be a hit, but because it's such a wicked song, and I'd love to hear the radio blasting "HELLO, MY NAME IS UTADA, LIKE LA-DEE-DA-DEE-DAA." xD Plus, it's a good introductory song. |

I really think "On and On" should be a single! As well as "This One" --- both would be hits, I think. "Dirty Desire" is good too, but not 2nd single material.

I want Taking My Money Back, A&C, and FYI.
Taking my Money Back is awesome (which is why I have it in my siggy) and I think it'd be good for like an RnB station. A&C...I don't know why, I was listening to it last night and I just wondered how this would do on the radio. It's really easy to listen to and kind of refreshing in a way. FYI...I just love it and want people to hear it by any means necessary. But in the end I'll take anything. |

Personally I think "On and On" would make a strong single. It's the right sound and lyrics to make it. I also think "The One" would be a good choice. Only problem is those two on top of "CBTM" all have a similar sound. So for some diversity, "Me Muero" or "A&C" would be good.
I'm excited for whatever the next will be though. |
