Are there any albums where you think a B side would have performed better than the chosen title? (1 Viewer)

Not just songs where because you personally preferred the B side, but it seemingly has more GP appeal, fit more with the group's concept, etc. and would likely have done better?

An obvious example where we know the results: (G)I-DLE's Fate over Super Lady

Lion Tamer instead of We Fresh by Kep1er

A couple that come to mind where the bside performed better even as a bside is Mr by Kara and Hero by MX

Oh, good point. They definitely needed a course correction before Giddy and Galileo. (Great songs, but a lot of fans had already checked out by the time they were released.)

Mister kills me, in that DSP so clearly misread its title track potential, and it's the song KARA is most known for.

I've been thinking about STAYC with this question. "1 Thing" was pretty well received as a minimally promoted B side, and "Cheeky Icy Thang" was very divisive as a title. I can't help but wonder if their big album release would have done better with "1 Thing" as the title, and would have set up their next release to do better.

Maybe gfriend's Rainbow over summer rain.
