sodovan38 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Check out these individual mp3 release dates on Amazon for each of the individual 'Ghost Stories' tracks: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=coldplay%20-%20ghost%20stories Magic is technically released on March 3rd. It is widely known to be the first single. Midnight is technically "released" on March 17th. Obviously it's already been released on YouTube for free, and the band has said it's not an official single, but it's still a standalone track, and I give that date some credence because it's also a Monday, the day singles (see Magic) and full albums (see Ghost Stories) are released. But then, look at Another's Arms. Unlike the rest of the songs, it's slated for release on April 28th, also a Monday, three weeks before the album is slated for release. Finally, A Sky Full Of Stars is slated for release May 12th, also a Monday, and exactly one week before the album is slated to be released. Coincidentally, or totally not coincidentally, the iTunes album listing has (incorrect) time listings for only 4 of the 9 tracks. Those four tracks are these four: Midnight, Magic, Another's Arms and A Sky Full of Stars. They usually only put up time listings for songs that are either pre-releases, singles, or songs about to be released. Are Another's Arms and A Sky Full of Stars the second and third singles for the album? If any Ghost Stories tracks other than Midnight or Magic are played at iTunes Festival, I'm betting it's these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodovan38 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Nice. Now it will live in infamy after they realize they revealed too much and scramble to take it down... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackplay Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Sounds right. When I saw those songs listed with the time, I knew they were going to be promo singles. Many artists do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipp088 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 There's a keen possibility that it might happen, actually it makes sense. Thanks for the info sodovan38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodovan38 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 As discovered over on the main Ghost Stories thread, Mila Furstova's website says she's worked on artwork for three singles including Magic, supporting this theory at least a bit. http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=25c5c7c0f024fcc5be033d7ab&id=4706cc3f3a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lonely Martian Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I hope that means they will be available on iTunes...great find there! Considering that these same three tracks are the only tracks on the album with a placeholder track time (4:45, to be exact), it's certain they'll be up on iTunes as well.

Before May 19? Like will midnight be available on iTunes on the 17th of march? Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodovan38 Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I mean...I'd bet? Maybe Amazon.com is full of crap. But that's what it would seem to indicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lonely Martian Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Before May 19? Like will midnight be available on iTunes on the 17th of march? Yep. And the other two tracks will be up on their respective release dates as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chommy_16 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 They changed the dates to 19 May for all songs. But thanks Tash for made a screen shot. :lol: There're on 4 songs that show duration on iTunes and look which ones it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_escapist Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Probably they want to try to keep the secret, which has no sense now. Let's wait and see. Midnight should be made available in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayrn43 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I actually don't think the dates being changed back to may 19 means anything at all. (We cant unsee the former dates, It's already too late for Amazon, theres no sense in trying to cover it up) And Those itunes time listings are still an indicator that those will be singles made available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that would happen. Typical Amazon. Those dates weren't put up accidentally. Even if they're not all the singles or they're not released on exactly those dates, that + the iTunes listings still mean something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayrn43 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Anothers arms does not sound like a Single Yeah, I think Always In My Head would make a better single, at least for now. (My opinion might change when we get to hear the studio versions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliaa Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I remember the first time I heard studio HLH. I actually laughed out loud at the sounds that didn't translate live. Excited to hear the polished finished product. I haven't seen much negativity in terms of reviews of the performance last night so far from critics - just fans. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
