Have you ever listened to a bside off a comeback album before the Title Track? (1 Viewer)

and if so why?

 

[centen]

Yes, if it's first in the tracklist and I'm listening via Spotify.

do you not normally watch the MV first?

A lot of times, I'm at work when the comeback releases, so I can't watch the MV until I get back home.

that makes sense...

 

[kimsguardian]

sometimes depends on how they promote in music shows bcs i always watch their mv first, so the title track always comes first

 

[Ahsoka]

Sometimes. Some reasons can be that I was recommend the bside first, that the bside was released first, or that I heard a snippet of the bside first and liked the snippet enough to check it out

 

[Horizonshard]

Yes, but does it count if the B-side gets released before the title track?

Example: Twice performed Say Something at their Anniversary live before I Can't Stop Me even released.

Only if the bside was the most popular song on the album at the time and I didn‘t get around to the full album yet

but the question is how would you know it's the most popular song if you haven't listened to it yet? or do you judge a song not by your own particular tastes but by how popular it is?

I was more thinking if they were all released at the same time
even in that situation when the album dropped did you listen to Say Something before ICSM or ICSM first?

No, then I listened to the title first.

I would know it’s most popular by how much I hear about it

 

[lily]

yes but very rarely.

if bside has much better reviews than the title track

 

[ChiaraStar169]

no, always the title first - I grew up in a time where you didn't get all the songs at oncxe. The artist would put out the lead single first, and then the album like two months later. So, it was always the title (or lead single) first by default. I'm just used to it that way.

interesting so do you often listen to music based on it's popularity as oppose to just listening the album?
do you do that even for albums from your favs?
