I did catch that part, but I don't even know what "promoted" means. If he meant "singles" he should have said that. Plus, Lights of Home is on that list, and it wasn't a single.
Was the band "promoting" The Little Things... when they previewed it on the JT30 tour? I'd say so. This Avicci track sure ain't better than that. How about new songs that are played regularly on a tour, is that "promoting"?
Either way, it's still a hyperbolic hot take that's hard to take seriously, even if one agrees, as I do, that they've been bad at choosing singles. No way in hell is this better than Love is Bigger, The Blackout, Invisible, or that alt. version of Lights of Home (which became integrated into the live performance).
