"Bye Bye" was one of the worst choices they could have made for the second single (only "Last Kiss," "Thanx 4 Nothing," and that song that comes last on the album would have been worse).

"I'll Be Loving You Long Time" is an alright choice (albeit a little forgettable), but I still think the marketing plan should have gone like this:

1. Touch My Body (Big hit, yadda yadda yadda)
2. Migrate (Should have been released simultaneously with the album)
3. I Stay In Love (Beautiful, and it grows on you more and more)
4. Cruise Control (It's dumb, but it would sell as a fun summer song)
5. For The Record (MONEY TRACK!)

Mariah (or her company) are really blowing their chances to keep the album at the top of the charts with the decisions they're making.
