It's 'Magnificent'

U2's new single will be 'Magnificent' and turns out our friends in Coldplay are ahead of the game. They've been playing it before they come on stage on their current tour.

Mercury Records will release the new single on May 4th and the track has been getting plaudits ever since 'No Line...' was released.

The Times in London called it 'stunning' while Q magazine called it a 'slow-building anthem with the ambience of The Unforgettable Fire'. High praise indeed.

And as the good people of Coldplay twittered the other day, ' a truly beautiful song'. Thanks guys.

So what does everyone else think ? Good choice?

Magnificent news lol
When I first played No line the first day of it's release Magnificent was the first one I fell in love with than Moment of surrender. I love the line Only love canleave sutch a mark, Well it kind of summed up how I feel about Gaza and the poor people of Palestine and what is needed most of all for them ONLY LOVE

Great choice
I really liked Get on your boots as the first single. Its a great song but I think Magnificent is a song which will appeal to a wider audience. Excellent choice! But Ilove all the songs on the album, especially Fez.

Love Magnificent but...
... my favorite this week is Moment of Surrender. I find myself continually hitting the back button to replay over and over. Last week's favorite was NLOTH.Who knows what next week's favorite will be....

"should have been the 1st single"
i think GOYB gave a nervous feel as to what the album was going to be like, MAGNIFICENT should have been the 1st single. From the first listen it's a great song! GOYB took to long to grow on you.

I think this should have been the first single off of the album and it would make a great opener when the guys start touring. Great GREAT SONG.
