I think that’s exactly what Warner Bros. was trying to avoid. Billboard ran a lot of business articles about Mac that year and the next and included a bunch of quotes from both label guys and radio guys. They were all trying to avoid “saturating the market.” The talk was that “Second Hand News” was going to be a fifth single. But in the seventies, I guess four singles from a single-disc studio album was just about the max. I don’t think even the Beatles ever released five singles. (Hotel California only had three official singles.) Plus, in Mac’s case — and I can vouch for this in Southern CA radio markets — all the singles were still in pretty heavy rotation for two years, so the suits may have felt that there was no business need to push a fifth, which would involve marketing and sales expense. An album that spends 31 weeks at no. 1 is sui generis — it’s raking in millions without having to spend any more money on it. So why spend? Why buy display ads? Why pay radio stations to play what they’re already playing? Why manufacture another 45?

I think composing on a guitar gives you a wider array of rhythms and textures, but a keyboard expands your options for chord structure and even modulation within the song. You can make unconventional choices and assimilate them into the song more smoothly than on a guitar.

Michael Jackson’s incredible album Off the Wall (1979) may have been the first pop album to release five singles. You know, Michael Jackson was making his own rules and transforming the industry even before Thriller. PSA: If you haven’t listened to Off the Wall in years, give it another spin. It is f*cking amazing, truly one of the greatest albums of all time.

I’m listening to it right now, Villavic, and dancing in my office at work! Asian coworkers are walking by, wondering why David is trying to moonwalk.

Sugar Daddy is the second greatest FM song of all time.
