Can anyone tell me what the next morrissey single is from the years of refusal album.
Next single will be a new song promoting Swords (at least I hope so )

But seeing as most gigs are already sold out..... who is really going to 'buy Swords' on the strength of this tour?
How many of Swords songs are going to be performed? Not many I reckon (but happy to be proved wrong in October / November).

Nothing is confirmed, for a while, so there isn't new single for YoR - not until this second.
I know our luck too well. Its gonna be a double a-side That's How People Grow Up/All You Need is Me.
For god's sakes Moz has already announced Swords will be B sides of the last 3 albums. Where are you guys getting the idea it will have new songs and that these B sides will feature on a tour that has already finished? Moz Just rereleased SP and Mal and unfortunately not one of those songs appeared on the YOR tour to promote it. And whoever came up with the genius idea that one of these B sides is going to be the next single.... that's a good one

Some people are getting a little bit too wound up about the release of Swords. Granted, most people on here will have all the songs that are on it.
Some people are getting a little bit too wound up about the release of Swords. Granted, most people on here will have all the songs that are on it. But this site does not represent the majority of potential Morrissey-buyers. A few posters, a few advertisements, a few good reviews, a couple of TV appearances and a few live dates and the record will sell pretty well.
Record companies aren't entirely naive, I doubt they are expecting record-breaking sales. It's a collection of good songs for (the majority of) fans who will not have them. Let this be the end of the Swords debate and the "Morrissey is after all my money" argument.
If there is no single, the record will probably do roughly as well as the other non-singles solo compilations i.e. enter the (UK) album chart somewhere between 20 and 40, survive for three weeks and go on to sell around 20,000.
However, if there is decent single (and for those who think this is bonkers, remember How Soon is Now was initially a b-side), it would do much better...
I would be quite shocked if there wasn't even a radio-only (I do agree that a new song, with b-sides, on full release is pretty unlikely) promo single to let people know the album is out.
Morrissey is not quite the market force that an collection of b-sides can be released and the record company can expect it to just sell.
