If you goto Bon Jovi's Tidal page,
Labor of Love, Born Again Tomorrow, & Knockout are in singles/EP section.

A single song released promotionally, that is true, but it doesn't necessarily mean it was released to radio. They were released as advance album purchase incentives.

Help me out here...
Nobody has heard these 3 songs on radio yet?
Personally, I don't even listen to the radio anymore.
Does radio play even matter that much and does that determine if it should be considered a single or promotional single?
The Knockout video is currently in the top 20 according to Tidal.
If people are watching they are listening as well which makes it more than just a preorder addition.
Anyways, maybe this poll should be adjusted to...
If you were given one more track off THINFS prior to it's release,
which would it be?
What I do dig is that 2016 brings on a fresh approach/attitude to promotion and it seems to me that the JOVI camp is seizing the opportunity to its fullest.

On German mainstream radio stations (who usually pick up on new Jovi stuff quite fast) only THINFS gets played. Haven't heard any of the others there.

Yes, which is why I argue that they shouldn't release anything else anymore. How can one be incentivized to spend money on an album if he/she already heard half of it?

I think if they're going to release actual "singles", they should go all for it. The common person isn't going to listen to half the album in advance but is more likely to check it out if a single does really well and they see it on the talk show circuit or in pop culture. Album cuts in advance aren't serving anyone other than the people who already know the album exists.

Simple.
If you are a huge fan of the band, the songs that have already been released are superb, and you payed for the released tracks through preorder which essentially gives you a discount on the rest of the album upon it's release.
BTW...
According to reports over in the New Release/THINFS album thread, it will be available in it's entirety via Tidal X, later this week.

Well, almost all songs will have a video, and BAT, Labor of Love and Knockout were "promotional singles". There will be a proper single later?
