I guess "how" is a better question. I personaly love ABOY, but from the polls on this board it's obvious SYCMOYO is a far more appealing song. So, did U2 have a group of people sample the album for feedback? 'Cause if they did, I doubt the consensous would have been that ABOY was the 2nd or even 3rd strongest track on the album. UNLESS, the demographic was 13-18 year old blink-182ers! Maybe thats there target audience here in the states because, otherwise, I don't see the reasoning behind the Vertigo-ABOY one-two punch! SYCMOYO seems like the obvious choice to follow V and I'm sure its a band favorite. I'm convinced that SYCMOYO would do alot more for album sales, by bringing in some of the ATYCLB type audience. ABOY will give those who haven't bought/heard the album the idea that its a full out guitar-punk album. Kind of like false advertisng, don't you guys/gals think?
