Acknowledge similarities to “Only You” by Yazoo (1982)

Like the MAYHEM page, this article should acknowledge that this song appears to interpolate or is heavily-inspired by “Only You” by Yazoo (1982 song). Mcnaugha (talk) 08:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Single?

The community on Wikipedia usually don't call a song a single just because it appeared on the "Singles to Radio" list on that Australian website. Similar thing happened to "Sour Candy" (https://web.archive.org/web/20200529124621/https://themusicnetwork.com/charts/issues/1291/1291-singles-to-radio/) where people started to call it a single but later is was decided, that it should stay a promotional single (because of it's digital pre album release). I also remember "Dance in the Dark" being referred to a single in Australia but now the featured article only mentions the French radio release and nothing about Australia. Should we revert it to be an album track for now and wait for more sources to appear from other countries? Kirtap92 (talk) 08:37, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Following the same rationale as with the earlier songs, this shouldn’t be considered a single. Sricsi (talk) 17:39, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with that source's "Singles to Radio" articles seems to be that they include both songs that are made available for radio airplay and songs that actually impact radio in Australia. I will say, however, that there doesn't currently seem to be any other source that consistently reports on Australian radio releases. Some songs have performed very well on Australian radio (e.g. Mr. Perfectly Fine, which peaked in the top 10 on overall radio in that country), but they are not currently classified as official singles because sources are deemed unreliable and they aren't released to radio in other countries. Is there perhaps a point where songs get such a significant amount of airplay that there is virtually no way they could have done so without label support and sources like these could be considered adequate if used in addition to evidence that a song performed well on radio?

Hi guys, the song may have been sent as a promotional single to Australian radios only, rather than an official single from Mayhem, as happened with "A-Yo" and "Sour Candy". I agree with mater as a single, but only promotional. LuizLuz (talk) 03:38, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"A-Yo" and "Sour Candy" are promotional singles because of their pre-album digital release. The article of "Sour Candy" doesn't even mention the Australian "Singles to Radio" appearance while "A-Yo" never even had one I think. Based on this "How Bad Do U Want Me" should stay an album track for now and not a promotional single. Kirtap92 (talk) 10:21, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
