Those songs and others define this band we love, it will take a long time for a song to reach that status if it ever does. And obviously You & Me would get more attention if RCA pushes it as the new single? I never said it'd be a breakout hit, I said that it will keep BWGK on the charts. Now, a single song cannot hold a cd on the charts for a long period of time usually. Obviously there are exceptions but you claim You & Me isn't even that good so how can it hold the album on the charts alone going up against the other releases? Why I Am and Funny The Way It Is are both great songs and will help keep Big Whiskey on the charts.

Hyperbole irritates me. You said Funny and Why I Am are great songs. They're not. You cant say something is great but then complain when comparisons are made between songs that are truly great, like Ants, and average songs like Why I Am.
I'm talking strictly about what will get Big Whiskey the most mainstream attention, and thus, more sales. The answer, without question, is You and Me. Songs dont have to be "good" to be popular and drive album sales. If you need an example, ask Soldja Boy. That assclown made a career off of one horrible song.
Besides, You and Me is an excellent adult-contemparary tune. It may not be a favorite for DMB fans, but its sure gonna resonate with the mainstream crowd.
