In Australia CD singles are about $4.50 to $5.00. CD albums are $26 to $30 so theres quite a price difference here.

This unfairly biases how big of a hit a song is, because those CD singles sellling decently might NOT be the ones getting tons of airplay on the radio.
But it wouldn't be fair for the #1 song to be something that sold just 3000 copies in a given week while the #10 song is receiving 3x the airplay.
As a result, record abels, acknowledging that CD singles don't always sell (the big exception is the U.K., which does base single rankings on the success of the CD single), usually push the song at radio stations and only promote the CD single in certain countries.
u2ulysses said:In any event, it's not unusual for the CD single to be released weeks after the radio release. I do admit though that the rather long delay here is a bit odd - and I suspect it's being done to really push album sales (and not CD single sales).

Now come on really, we all know that October & WAR are very different beasts - and October (Gloria apart) didn't really do hooks. Sounds as if this DJ doesn't really know U2 of that period.
