New Single from The Circle

Superman Tonight is being released in Germany on January 22.

Lee over at Blame it on the Love reports that the tracks on the single will be:

Superman Tonight (album version)
We Weren't Born to Follow (live from BBC Radio Theatre)
Superman Tonight (live from BBC Radio Theatre)
Livin' on a Prayer (live from BBC Radio Theatre)

Not that I know anything about the music biz, but isn't this a long time between singles?  I mean, most of the heavy promotions are done (at least here in the US) the whole NBC thing is over, and the tour is starting in less than a month.  I would have thought that this single would have been released far earlier.

Of course, I thought the MSG DVD would have taken advantage of Christmas-time sales, but hey, just reinforcing that I don't know much about the music business.  Of COURSE it's far better to wait until after the tour starts (still can't find it on Amazon.com in the US) and after everyone's already spent all their money.  It would have been STUPID to release it say, oh, the week after Thanksgiving, and have people purchase it for Christmas presents, even to themselves.  Yep.  Dumb.
