What If Single ?????

Most likely untrue. Personally i wouldn't think they'll release another single from X&Y.

However i was reading an old nme from last year (before the album release) and they claimed What if would be a future single. They were probably wrong though.

It just sounded like they wanted to release The Hardest Part as a single and maybe What If in just a couple of selected countries. Too bad it's not true because I personally think it's one of the best songs they've ever done. I'm sure they were planning on releasing it as a single (when the album came out) because they recorded it at TOTP for example along with Speed of Sound.

To me, it seems like people either hate or love that song. I've been in love with it ever since I heard the recording of it at the Universal Amphitheatre in LA about a year ago. However, I think the album version is not nearly as good as any live version, so I think the guys would have had to spice up the studio recording a little bit. Maybe more people would have like it then. I just think the lyrics are great and IMO it's just a "classic" Coldplay song, like The Scientist or Trouble.

So I'm not all that sure if only the most devoted Coldplay fans would like it if it was released as a single... I remember reading that it was in some top 20 (or even 10?) of the best songs of 2005 - no other song off X&Y made it on that list. Unfortunately, I can't remember who was in charge of that list, but I read it in the news section of this site ;)
