my band has written 10 songs; enough for an album, but i want to release a single first, since my popularity is still low.

all 10 songs are rated 95+.

-

do you always want the first song on the single to have the highest rating?

is it stupid to use high rated songs on the b-side?

can releasing too many singles hurt album sales later?

===

i thank you in advance for your input.

Release whichever singles you want, don't worry about the rating if they're all relatively high. I would release a couple singles first, then one after the album. But it's really up to you.

It's not dumb to have high rated songs to be b-sides. It helps the single's rating rise.
