First single from AM[edit]

I think that "R U Mine?" should be treated as the first single from AM (per the song's article, album's article, and Arctic Monkeys discography), and not as a stand-alone, non-album single (which is how it was listed by Nbdelboy in {{Arctic Monkeys singles}}). Here's why:

Multiple sources refer to "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" as the third single from the album (eg. NME, Paste magazine, Spin, Metro, Vanyaland, Rockadia, 45 magazine, rockol.com, mxdwn.com, DTG Re, and many, many more), and here's one that says "R U Mine?" and "Do I Wanna Know?" are the first two singles from the album.
Also, when thinking about the style of the album, etc., here's a quote from that Spin article: "Frontman Alex Turner has since confirmed that 'R U Mine?' was the starting point for upcoming fifth album AM." And here's a paragraph from the Metro article: "‘There’s something very exciting about this record,’ says Turner with justification. When we meet, the third single, Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?, has just gone to No.8 in the charts. ‘I can’t believe we didn’t go straight to No.1,’ he says, only half-joking." — So, clearly, Arctic Monkeys' frontman also considers "WYOCMWYH?" the third single, which makes "R U Mine?" the first one.

Summing up, in my opinion "R U Mine?" should be treated as the first single from AM, throughout Wikipedia. — Mayast (talk) 17:25, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
