I just thought of this as I watched the MTV Jammed freeview thing...

We now know that City of Blinding Lights will be the next single. The video for All Because of You was shot in NYC. Wouldn't it have made a lot more sense if they had done something different for ABOY and shot COBL's video in NYC instead?

It's not like they only just now figured out that COBL would be the next single. These things are pretty much determined when the record is delivered to the label. Seems like they planned things kind of poorly.

You're joking, right? It was about NY, Bono said so.

I wonder that too, why didn't they film that video in NY instead of ABOY? :shrug:

I'm not so sure if they knew what to do after "Vertigo'...

First ABOY, few weeks later SYCMIOYO...:huh:
3 singles in U.S.... 2 of them not so succsesful... while there were only 2 singles in ROTW... and in Europe SYCMIOYO was as popular as Vertigo...

The videos... even the Vertigo one... were released very late...
...something is not working this time wih the singles...
 
That would make more sense to do COBL in NY. Oh well it was still pretty cool for ABOY.
