They did release that song, or at least there's a music video floating around the music channels anyway.

It is interesting to see so many pop acts with suggested album tracks.... for many different reasons...better songs/vocals/alternative direction....all valid reasons

It is painful when you hear an amazing gem of a song on an album ignored by the artist.

Here are a couple of my fave album non single tracks from artists suggested previously – they are not necessarily my fave artists but I hear some greatness/potential

Girls Aloud – Fling or Love Bomb (just both irritatingly very catchy very radio friendly pop songs)
Geri Halliwell – Love Never Loved Me (classic Spice Girls territory – infectious and catchy pop, should have been first single!)
Sugababes – Faster (this and ‘all fired up’ were the only standouts on the album)
One Direction – Up All Night
Justin Bieber – Beauty and a Beast
Lady Gaga - Dance In The Dark
Madonna – I`m A Sinner (unexpected POP)
The Wanted – Rocket
Alanis Morisette - Tequila
Tori Amos – Beauty Of Speed (Her radio friendliest single in years!)
Leona Lewis – Take A Bow (her edgiest song and it was on her first album) or Here I am (Her Best Vocals on record - sublime)
Britney Spears – Heaven on earth
Cheryl Cole - Hummingbird
Kylie Minogue - Aphrodite

lady gaga - Schiesse, Dance In The Dark, Bloody Mary, Hair

Kylie - Sensitized, Aphrodite, Cupid Boy, Butterfly, Disco Down, Fragile

Cyndi Lauper - Yeah Yeah, Primitive, A Part Hate, Searching, Brimstone & Fire, Lay Me Down, Echo

But tbh as i list these off it is often a load of the albums best songs wont/dont get a massive release because a)they wont be accepted on radio b) how will they be marketed promoted and c) enough time spent per era.

Some albums you can release all the album and sometimes it takes too much of a risk sound-wise the hits are so few etc.”

I agree with 100%

Leona Lewis - Take A Bow, Outta My Head and Can't Breath. They could have all been big hits.
