Help Weezer's Career By Choosing Their New Single — stereogum.com

Oct 21st '14 by Chris DeVille @ 4:25pm2 Comments Weezer’s Everything Will Be Alright In The End has been received as a return to form here and elsewhere. But the album didn’t exactly set the charts on fire, debuting at #5 with 34,000 in first-week sales, and lead single “Back To The Shack,” despite charting at #4 on the Rock Airplay chart and #5 on Mainstream Rock Songs chart, isn’t quite a world-beating smash. So I guess it’s not that crazy that the band posted a survey on Facebook today asking fans to help them choose their next single. Three options are presented: “Ain’t Got Nobody,” “Da Vinci,” and the Bethany Cosentino duet “Go Away.” Humorously, the question originally read, “How much do you think each of these 3 songs would help Weezer’s career if released as the next single?” It has since been altered to read, “How much do you think each of these 3 songs would help Weezer long-term, if released as the next single?” Participate in the survey here.
