The only thing we can hope for is that Loving You is going to be overrated by the (American) public, like they did with YANA. Don't get me wrong I like YANA but it is pretty much overrated. But you won't hear me complaining 'cause YANA reached #1.
I just hope that the title track is a single at some point. It's too good to be ignored, and it's a perfect dance floor filler
I think it will be APWNN then Xscape and with that the Xscape campaign finishes.

They never said that Loving You is not 2nd official single. I think they will release it to radios now and then on 11.8. it will be released on VEVO and iTunes.

They called it "bridging single". That does not sound like an official single.
They say it. Loving You is a worldwide bridging-single/radio single before the soon upcoming offical next single-relase with a accompanied video release.
Sony Music and the estate of Michael Jackson will soon issue the official single accompanied by a music video on VEVO.
For now, until they shoot the video. But I may be wrong.
Yeah, and nowhere says that Loving You is not that "official single accompanied by a music video on VEVO". Radio for now, VEVO and iTunes 11.8.
That would be a good run of songs. They should definitely release the title track at some point.
It's a shame that Loving You has been relegated to a 'bridging single' but at least it'll be heard. The worrying part is that it's due 11th August, so when should we expect the real second single?
"As of today, the bridging single was released. Later in August the official single will be issued accompanied with a music video on MJ's VEVO channel." - Xscape page admin.

Actually, after learning this new term bridging single, one might be able to consider STTR one. Monies were spent on the whatever happened at Billboard but, it was in the effort to promote Xscape and not necessarily STTR as a single. The resulting video was a byproduct resulting in STTR charting. It seems the decision by Estate/Sony (not fans) was to not spend anymore monies specifically on STTR after that.
Apologies but, I believe LY and any other track on Xscape deserves more than this. If this is to be believed, the song is just being release with no monies behind it to promote it and Estate/Sony is just hoping for the best. With no video it will not benefit from streams to chart as STTR did.
This is disappointing.
But IF, and I mean IF, Loving You will be #1 will that count as well since it is not going to be issued as a single from XSCAPE?
Apparently STTR will be the bridging single in Asia.
its a brilliant track. i love it. very much.
but i hate ...
- they are throwing out all the 80s tracks as singles (LNFSG, Loving you)
- they are ignoring post 90s MJ, like always.
- a strong up beat single is needed. APWNN!! (or Xscape). NOW and not that late...
i would have prefered Chicago over loving you. cause its more recent. i want mikes recent work to be released. but hey, MJ was only present in the 80s it seems...
i am speechless.
Sony didnt give any exact promotional plans except to say they would be promoting through out the whole year with a network to help world wide and LNFSG would be the 1st single .. Xscape is still doing exceptionally well for a posthumous release. Very well. it will continue to go up and down a bit but still stay in the running IMOOnirMJ;4026546 said:That was the original promotion plan that Sony exec. showed to fans after Xscape listening party?
the album continues to sell at a steady rate. 15,000 copies were sold in the U.S. both this week and last, with 25,000 copies per week being sold in the two weeks before that. The album, which is currently in its eighth week on the market, is yet to drop out of the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and has sold 339,000 copies there in total. The album’s worldwide sales figures currently stand at 1 million copies sold.
If the album can maintain its presence on the charts for 6-8 more weeks, the second single may well inject a new lease of life into its sales figures
LNFSG peaked in US. We should start requesting Loving You.
