That's also where a bulk of her first week sales will come from. "Speechless" also got really good reception when it leaked, almost everybody loved it.
I understand what you mean though when you say one single ends up getting hurt, I don't see it that way. When you get to use two different songs to cater to two different audiences respectively, it really helps your overall appeal...that's if you release the right singles though. Why they can't release just one song that hits all formats hard? I don't know. I could ask Beyonce, Usher & Ne-Yo's labels the same question. Maybe it's just hard to make a hard to do in these electro pop music days.

I agree with you on everything but it's like lookin' at it from a point of view that cares more about album sales, coverin' all bases of radios help you get to more listener that might buy the album but we all know that these days digital sales are the money is more than ever, not that I like it but in the end of the day, it's a question of which singles are release and how well they are doin'.
It could be a great move esp' if one of those song ends to be a full hit but if both don't do that much damage than I prefer havin' a 3m saller hit than 2 Top 50 hits with overall sales of 1.5-2m.
Cuz' the impact on sales won't be that big esp' when Ciara is a R&B more type of artist which is where people buy more the album of an artist they like.
Either way, as long as she got her self another hit we're good, so I'm just hopin' that w/e she decide to choose it will pay her off.
