So has anyone managed to hear any info as to WHY it was cancelled? Or is it just one of those things that happens for no good reason other than to annoy folk?
Let's face it, everything to do with the singles from this album has been poor and questionable.
- confusion over when and how the single Boots was to be released in each country
- CD version of Boots coming weeks after release to iTunes
- video not ready until Boots was starting to drop out of the charts
- NLOTH (the title track of the album) being a b-side and being available before the album version
- Magnificent CD not available in most countries (and having questionable b-sides)
- Breathe being included as a b-side instead of an a-side
- the best remixes of Magnificent not being commercially available
- many countries (including Australia/SE Asia) not even getting a 2nd single yet (3 mths after Boots)
Just put the 3-track single (bought in Grafton St HMV in Dublin yesterday - hidden downstairs among the games) into my iTunes and GraceNote returned the following:
1. Untitled - 4.25 - Akon - Audio CD - Reggae
2. Untitled - 3.48 - Akon - Audio CD - Reggae
3. Untitled - 3.26 - Akon - Audio CD - Reggae
Maybe I should leave it like this?
Because the song is gonna be their worst charting in decades and they wanted to have an excuse for why that happened?
That actually might be a real reason, if Magnificent bombs they might just want to have an excuse
Well according to your argument, neither Green Day's label should release physically Know Your Enemy since it was obvious that it would be difficult to enter the top 10. The same goes with the latest singles from Oasis, Doves, Morrissey and Maximo Park. All their singles peaked lower than the artists used to. So i don't think Mercury didn't release Magnificent because they predicted that is was going to flop. Actually had they released Magnificent, it would propably have entered top 20, so they would have prevent all this negativity. That's why i tend to believe that they chose not to release Magnificent in order to strengthen album sales. It's the same strategy that they follow in U.S.A since 2000.
P.s. NLOTH is #19 from #27 this week in uk albums chart.
Does anyone know whether it is available on CD anywhere in London?
U2’s brand new single ‘Magnificent’ is out NOW. The track is available to download with a brilliant remix package on iTunes (remixes from the likes of Pete Tong, Redanka, Fred Falke, and Adam K and Soha) plus for ONE WEEK ONLY the single is available on 7” format.
According to a post on u2's page on myspace, posted on 5th May, neither the vinyl will be available this week in uk :
Download it off itunes, the song is flopping people should start downloading the single
Why would anyone want to download it off of iTunes? The quality is horrible.
The majority of people don't care about quality?
I understand if U2 decides to forego physical CD single releases, but why make the digital Magnificent B-sides only available thru iTunes UK? They make a big deal about it on U2.com but I can't even obtain it in Canada if I want to? Huh?
The vast majority of people can't hear the difference between 256 kbps AAC and CD. The sound quality is not "horrible;" at best there are barely detectable sonic differences.

I never said it was horrible though, that was someone else.
If anyone really wants the single, and you're not afraid to go trough a bit of a hassle, I think you can order it online from Indiana Jones 4, Kung Fu Panda en Iron Man nieuw in 3 voor 25. I can help with translating if you need it.
