Album Tracks That Should Have Been Singles

[SeanXD]

Yeah, title says it all, post your lists here. Here's some of the one's I can think of:

"Paper Gangsta" by Lady GaGa from The Fame
"Get Naked (I Got A Plan)" by Britney Spears from Blackout
"Everyone's At It" by Lily Allen from It's Not Me, It's You
"Radio" by Beyonce from I Am... Sasha Fierce
"These Four Walls" by Miley Cyrus from Breakout
"Hello" by Eminem from Relapse
"Amnesia" by Britney Spears from Circus
"Breaking Dishes" by Rihanna from Good Girl Gone Bad
"Lilac Wine" by Jeff Buckley from Grace
"Yesterday" by Leona Lewis from Spirit

It's funny how your mind goes sorta blank when trying to make a list.

Oh my god me too! It was SO obvious they just wanted to replicate the success of "We Belong Together". Bye Bye was just a cheap rip off in my opinon.

Migrate would have been a PERFECT summer single that would have been banging out of every club. Radio would have loved it, especially with the T-Pain verse (which he KILLED by the way). Ugh. Mariah's team as of late has been a damn mess, E=MC2 and now Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel were both handled HORRIBLY.

[Mr Telephone Man]

"Speed dial connecting me to Rae-Rae (Hey)
Click in Shawntae and Mae-Mae (Hey)
Treat it as a holiday,
Cause he's a wrap,
Y'all know I had to migrate.

See I'm on my way home,
Cause my jeans, yeah they fit,
But it might benefit
Me to throw something on,
To feature my hips,
Accentuate my ****
And steal the show.

Soon as we walk through the door,
Fellas be grabbin' at us like yo,
Tryin' to get us going off the Patron,
We sippin' Grigio... slow"

Oh Mariah..........
