so if its subscribers only that get first access to The Blackout, some kind soul will figure out a way to get it to the rest of us non-subscribing losers, right? asking for a friend.
Does this mean those who were there are now allowed to talk about it? Is the #Blackout black out nondisclosure over?
It's totally ok and not unheard of for the band to throw an album track out there and then release TBT as the lead off single. That way, if TBT flops, they can easily shift marketing behind the Blackout.

Releasing 2 songs upfront might create a larger-than-desired conflict with the last leg of the Joshua Tree tour. In the bands' eyes, I mean. In an interview, Adam mentioned that they didn't want to shift focus to a new album prematurely.
At this point what's the difference? The traditional nature of a single has gone out the window in a sense. Are they even going to release a CD single for anything? Are we talking about what will be available on iTunes for a one-song download? What gets sent to radio?
If we're talking billboard charts I guess it matters but the band isn't likely to make a big splash there anyway.
Whatever gets released in any form is theoretically a single. So if there's a video for The Blackout that premieres, you better believe the radio will be playing it. And that makes it a single by my definition. It would look dumb to have that come out and then a couple weeks later be like "No wait THIS is the first official single!"
The first thing we get to hear is the first single.
Yes.Does this mean those who were there are now allowed to talk about it? :
gee, I hope I like the new songs
Considering the amount of promo for Blackout, it would seem it is the first single.
Should we disregard the "Mediabase Impact" screenshots for TBT completely?
Between now and then there is not much room for an" official" Single other than TBT, no?
It's possible... I mean, TBT was the name floating out there for quite a while as the first single. Possible that the name never got updated or something... But who the hell knows.
On a side note - good ol' U2Valencia just blacked out their entire FB profile pic. But gave no info, update, hints or anything. So yeah. Bravo again Valencia...
