I really think "Call Me" is the only one that sounds like it'd work on the radio. I don't think any of the others would make good single material, they're too long and samey.

I'd go for 'Small', but I think 'We Believe' and 'Cosmos Rockin' would work too.
Although I dont think QP's attitude of milking has changed, given the fact they didnt even bother with a video for C-Lebrity, and it didnt sell that well, surely they cant think anyone will pay for another single, especially given the fans have already paid for the tracks when buying the album.
You need a cow to milk, and I suspect this one has run away!
At least the tour is a success, although I imagine the album hasnt done THAT badly.

I just don't see there being a second single. I think the perception, after the poor sales of the first single (and SINT if you count that) would indicate there isn't a market for it. Factor in the band won't do a video for it and they're on tour leaving them virtually no time to promote it, why put out a flop?
Having said that, IF they did put out another one, some of the suggestions here are somewhat confusing. "Call Me"? Really? I don't see how that would succeed unless you targeted it towards a country music audience and follow the trends currently being plowed by Bon Jovi. "Surf's Up...."? Arguably the worst track on the album. "Cosmos Rockin"? C'mon, let's be realistic here. As fun as it is, it's too much of a 50s throwback to appeal to the youth market and the less said of putting out a live version the better. Have we not learned our lessons from releasing live singles from years past?
While I don't care much for "We Believe," I do see how it could do some business around Christmas as a segment of the population love cheese and cornballs during the holidays.

If at all there is going to be another single, I think a remix of "We Believe" with Brian singing the first verse, as he did on the early 2008 gigs would be a good choice. Not that I think that Paul's voice or the album mix is bad, just that as a collector it would be good to get a different version. me thinks!!!!
I guess there won´t be another single release.
C-lebrity was released 4 months ago, normally time between two releases isn´t more than 2 or 3 months.
Today singles are´nt good business for record companys anymore; SINT & C-lebrity failed to the charts .
At Wikipedia.org We Believe is mentioned as an Italian release (Single Edit), but it isn´t available anywhere.
Even I-tunes Italy doesn´t provide the song (I mean a special single version) for sale. Maybe a few CDR´s were sent to Italian radio stations but didn´t get airplay, so EMI decided not to release We Believe or other songs as a single !!??????????

I agree...it's the most radio-friendly song they have on that album. "Warboys" would also be a good Mainstream Rock single.

I don't know about "Warboys" The lyrics and it's message are laughably juvenile.
Shame they didn't come up with something that actually sounds like Queen.
