Okay, this has been done a million, perhaps a billion times before, but I want to be REALISTIC. Take a single from an album and replace it with a non-single song in which song you'd think would chart.
Okay. Me first. Instead of the USA getting I Want To Break Free, they should of replaced Tear It Up... because the god damn thing would of been the biggest hit on The Works.
Realistic? huh huh huh ? It might have worked ....If Queen actually had toured America in 1984 ...
SO i'll give you the benefit of the doubt : 50/50 as in YES, It might have worked IF ....
I personally think Love Kills would've made an excellent single for Queen in 1984 ....
I really don't like The Works ...as an album it doesn't flow very well , despite some very good tracks.

That had more to do with the song than the video than the song. I honestly believe if there was another video it would have done better in America. I can't imagine what kind of video there might have been for Tear It Up.
I think almost all songs from "The Game" could be succesfull A side singles. "Dragon Attack", "Need Your Loving Tonight" and "Rock It" are so catchy as AOBTD and CLTCL.
