3rd Single Discussions

[Meems Wide Awake]

I think 6-7 months are enough for Drive that still enough time for a late 2013 release .

Not really. Unless you want this cd to sell as little as the first one has. He will need a good 6 months of the new single on the charts before you release the cd.

I think they gonna release the 3rd single and see where takes him if it shoots the chart and make it to Top10 in 6 months they might push it a little to make Top5 and then release the first single off the sophomore on Fall 2013 to build on the buzz from the 3rd single that means releasing the sophomore in Spring 2014 which will be great . I hope someone from Columbia reps lurking on here .

[bigmjfan]

That is actually what I hope will happen. If they can have say drive rip up th charts it gives him much more momementum going into the new single from the new album. But that will also mean a 2014 release.

That is what I am hoping for as well.

Casey obviously has a few new songs, but to choose one for a debut single is a different process. You want to have a few good recorded choices to choose from.
Drive is a good song for a single there is no guarantee that they have anything better right now. What is the point of going with something else just to have a change, if you might still have something better.
There is also other factors to consider, like Drive would be a good summer song and it is much more upbeat then many of Casey's other songs. They've already released two medium paced songs, it will be good to have something with a different pace for the next single.

But we'll see unless Columbia reps are lurking here there is no way of telling what they thinking. ;D

I also found this post on the "Casey James Fans" page on face book. It was posted by Michael J at 98.7 WMZQ in Washington DC. There was a photo of Casey nest to the posting:

If you recognize this man, you'll want to hear what I've got for you! If you DON'T recognize him, Click my link too and listen to an AWESOME NEW SONG that is gonna be on your radio - SOON! Click here - tiny.cc/q3ygrw

In the comments section I found this from Laura Lacy. Not sure who she is. She is some kind of writer from Nashville. People from facebook thought her opinion was of great value:

Laura C Lacy: I begged for it to be the second single......so happy for Casey, this will take him to #1, why don't they ever listen to a chic?

Yeah! Why don't they ever listen to chics??? LOL

[bigmjfan]

That is cool. I really want to see how drive does. Although the chart isnt going to be less crowded then it is now and the superstars are still going to take all the spins.

They're probably testing the song with some PDs , just like what they did with COAS .

This makes me happy! You would think they know its got the potential to go a long way up the chart. I just hope they time it right in regards to the chart and other songs going for adds. "Drive" is Casey's big chance to have a breakthrough hit!!!

[caseyfan]

I have it from a reliable source that as of last week they have not made a final decision on what the 3rd single will be. What he did say is that it will be from his first CD.

Now that we know when COAS goes recurrent maybe they will be forced to decide. I am hoping to go to the show on Wednesday and will ask him again. Last time it was "Drive" depending on the timing. I will take that, Good Life or LTWYMM!!!

[bigmjfan]

I will just wait for COAS to be done and let them announce what the next single will be. I really dont like all the fan stuff when they say they have stuff confirmed or heard because it never turns out to be true. Not that I dont appreciate you giving us a scoop but when it comes out of Caseys camp when coas is done then we will know.

[bigmjfan]

I hope we dont have to wait to much longer to find out what is next for Casey.

[boudica]

Yes I hope they announce and release it quickly.

I guess we could start looking at All Access from tomorrow for any potential add dates.
