Yes. You have a dark but catchy pop nugget like "Reaching Out" on your album and you are Take That. So what do you release as a third single? The WORST, most dreary Barlow ballad on the CD! It duly flops like old tits.

You are the hippest, Welshest rock band in the land. You have at least four classic thumpers and tender ballads on your new album "Pull The Pin". You release not the gorgeous "Stone" or the headbanging "Passing The Buck" but the disposable, forgettable "My Friends" instead. It duly stalls at Number 32 in the charts.

Pop stars eh? It's obvious that WE know far better than them which singles to pick. So this is the thread to name and shame the all-time stinkers.

Just feel glad Melanie run out of money before "Protected" could venture forth as a single of doom. We hope.

Si.
