http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27107795 Looks like the rumours where true, just been confirmed now.

This is speculation, make what you will of it, nothing is confirmed until its released. Spotting patterns and clues are fun for a lot of us :) Just had confirmation that Midnight will be ineligible for charting in the UK at least as its a 2nd grat single and at the moment the Official Chart Company rules state only 1 grat track can count for each album which means any further grat singles won't be charting here. Now I assume A Sky Full of Stars will be a grat single, seeing what they did with Magic and Midnight, I can't really see it working any other way but to be fair most of the fun comes from seeing them dominate the ITunes charts across the world :D

Don't even know what month it is anymore :laugh3:

Moyes is set to be sacked, coming from reliable sources and many newspapers :/ I really hope not, he needs to be given a chance to strengthen the squad and get rid of the under-performing players, if he does get sacked, I will be gutted as the Glazers should have cut their losses earlier in the season if there was a chance he would be sacked or take the long term approach like they planned and stick with it as it will pay off when Moyes builds a solid backline and the talented attack we have starts performing. He is a fantastic manager and it will be a kick in a teeth if they didn't stick by him.

With Midnight released today on the 21st April, it has been given as an instant grat track for those who have pre-ordered the album on ITunes and made available to anyone who wants to buy it separately but considering most fans have listened to it many times, they released a remix (a very good one at that!) to go with it and keep it fresh for fans and that has quenched my thirst anyway until the live shows in Germany at the end of the week! The release of Midnight has really made an impact in the charts, with Midnight charting at #1 on the ITunes live charts in over 53 different countries now. Of course, the sales are front loaded which means it will drop off later in the week but should still be top 10 in many places and even maybe #1 in countries such as Brazil where it has a 90% lead over the #2 track. An awful lot of downloads were from the Ghost Stories pre-orders and gives you an idea of how many people have pre-ordered it! It has a lot more pre-orders than than Mylo Xyloto (remember when Paradise was released originally). Some official chart companies such as in the UK may prevent instant grat tracks charting when more than one is released from each album, this is not confirmed but suggested by users on popular chart forums and when Paradise was released in 2011, they had a rule which prevented any instant grats from charting! Now, it looks very apparent this will be the tactic they will doing : An instant grat will be released every week in the following order.... 21st April- Midnight 28th April - Another's Arms 5th May - A Sky Full of Stars ASFOS will be the 2nd single to launch the album with, Another's Arms will be the supporting promo track like Midnight. Why will this happen? Because its a very good and effective tactic for the record label to use and its taken us all by surprise at how well Midnight has done and how many pre-orders there actually are. The next two Mondays could have an even bigger effect on the chart, Another's Arms will have an even bigger effect than Midnight as its a unheard song (the studio version anyway), pre-orders will increase a lot and this has the ultimate domino knock on effect for ASFOS which every Man, Woman and their dog will be downloading probably! Add grat tracks from pre-orders and BOOM! worldwide smash already. Very clever tactic, eh ;)

Added a poll, vote away :P
