Talk:Magnificent (U2 song)

Charts

On the page for No Line on the Horizon, it lists Magnificent under the "Non-single charts". Should those be removed from the page and placed in this article instead? MelicansMatkin (talk) 23:22, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Yep, I added that box when the magnificent article did not exist. But though magnificent has not yet gotten released as a single, its currently a non charting single. I suggest, keep both for now. Suede67 (talk) 22:46, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

The second paragraph contained a statement that the single performed poorly on the UK Singles chart because it wasn't available digitally. This was inaccurate, as the 7" vinyl and iTunes EPs were release simultaneously; the CD single was deleted at the last minute. The omission of a CD single is thought to be one reason for the poor chart performance, but difficult to prove. Seems like conjecture at this point, but I just edited the paragraph and left it in for now. U2WNewsie (talk) 14:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Magnificent remix?

Any news on whether the remix Will.I.Am did will make the single? Bono mentioned he loved it. Suede67 (talk) 15:51, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I haven't heard anything about it's inclusion yet. They might be saving it for the third single if they decide to release it. MelicansMatkin (talk) 16:43, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Should we have the promo cover as an alternate cover? There are other articles that do this, Crack the Shutters, Spitting Games. Suede67 (talk) 01:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't be adverse to that; I don't see that it would hurt the article in any way. MelicansMatkin (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Versions (UK edit)

Anyone know why its called the UK edit? or any more info on this stuff?? ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(^Ταλκ) 00:21, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I think the user who originally added that information added all of the information as UK releases. Where this source is I don't know, but it's very unlikely that the track is edited on only one nation's release. I'll remove the nation-specific information until further details are available.

Formats

Anyone know if they will be in Digipak? Or jewel case? I really hate jewel case discs. lol ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(^Ταλκ) 23:14, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

NO CD release???

What the hell is going on with the CD release?? why are there people selling them on eBay and Amazon but not in shops??? Answers please? ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(^Ταλκ) 17:41, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

How many remixes?

The text says that "The song has been officially remixed four times, by Pete Tong, Redanka, Fred Falke, and Adam K & Soha." Yet the track listing seems to show many more than that (talk about WP:NOTADIR!), including ones by Dave Audé. What's the story? Wasted Time R (talk) 14:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

One version really is an album-sized collection of remixes. Five official remixers might be more appropriate since all FIVE did more than one remix each. I would say to remove the promo, 7", the Interscope single track release, and the iTunes listings. The other CDs should stay. The Masterbeat digital release has unique remixes. The local variations in iTunes offerings are of little use other than to make us wish we lived there and could get remix N. But remix N is available on CD, you just might need to import it. We can't arbitrarily, retroactively remove the Dave Audé tracks from the CD now that fans have bought it :) delirious & lost ☯ ^TALK 15:31, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't say we need to remove any of the tracklistings. The whole point of that section is to show how many versions of the release were available, and as far as I can tell each one has a different tracklist. But in answer to your question, Wasted Time R, that information is just outdated and hasn't been updated since the first version was released. MelicansMatkin (talk, contributions) 15:53, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Even the promo release? Those are usually left out. It is a single track. The single track CD from Interscope is also a promo release. [1] delirious & lost ☯ ^TALK 16:20, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Do you mean "Island / INTR-12571-2"? I don't see a single track release from Interscope on there. I'd say to keep one of them; in some cases (such as "Zooropa", "Your Blue Room", and I believe "Original of the Species") a promotional release is the only release a song gets, so I think it's important to list even if it was followed by a proper release. MelicansMatkin (talk, contributions) 16:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

The first one in the list is promo. It says so. Right at the top. And yes Island / INTR-12571-2 is a promo release. That is what the link is to in my previous post. It comes just above iTunes UK 2 Track. The entry in the list actually merges the already listed at the top Island promo with the Interscope promo, hence "Island / INTR...". You are correct in that OOTS had two video and a promo cd release and nothing more. The Hands That Built America is even more rare in that it was pulled from release as a commercial single. I had ordered it from amazon.de before it was removed from pre-sale. I'm still waiting to hear The Playboy Mansion (New Mix) some seven years on. That's Life from The Good Thief soundtrack was to be the third track on the single. The promo release for the Oscars & Golden Globes and the international radio promos are the only releases. If the song has been commercially released then the promo release(s) are usually omitted unless they have notability of their own. :) delirious & lost ☯ ^TALK 17:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm still not getting this. The text says "The song has been officially remixed four times, by Pete Tong, Redanka, Fred Falke, and Adam K & Soha." The track listing shows remixes by Dave Audé, Fred Falke, Adam K and Soha, Wonderland, Redanka. That's five. Or is Wonderland a description and not some remix artist's tag? If so, whose mix is the Wonderland one? And the text mentions Pete Tong while the track listing doesn't, while the track listing mentions Dave Audé while the text doesn't. What am I missing here? Wasted Time R (talk) 11:13, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Like I said above, the information is just outdated (which I've now updated). MelicansMatkin (talk, contributions) 14:55, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:21, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
