My honest opinion
Anyone else find it weird that the ultimate collection doesn’t feature:
- new songs like hello my love, better man, starlight etc
- songs that were singles like tonight, obvious, safe etc
Surely an ultimate would essentially be a massive playlist of all their hits and not literally the same as the past 2 GHs with 4 new songs.
Talking of the 4 new songs, why didn’t they either:
- Keep the 4 songs and slowly build on them until they had enough tracks for a new album
- Release an album of b-sides with the 4 songs added to it? Would probably get a load of streams - I can’t think of any streaming app that has what becomes of the broken hearted or reason for living on.. Fans would definitely stream (and want) them
Edit: the b-side album could even get them to number one again as it’ll be new music for some fans and different to a generic GH album!
