  1. From the Forbes article today: "U2 Chose “Song of the Future” as the EP’s Lead Single
    U2 chose “Song of the Future” as the lead single from the Days of Ash EP, and fans all around the world – and especially near the group’s home country of Ireland – were quick to support the cut. Interestingly, the rockers did not opt to promote “Yours Eternally,” which features pop superstar Ed Sheeran as well as Taras Topolia."

    Finally, a well-chosen single!

    In North America the first single is "American Obituary". In South America and parts of Europe the first single is "Yours Eternally", which is also being promoted to video outlets. "Song of the Future" is the suggested single in the UK, and parts of Europe. So I suspect they are talking about the UK charts? Can't see the article as it's behind a paywall.

    U2’s “Song of the Future” Debuts on Two U.K. Charts
    U2’s “Song of the Future” launches on a pair of singles rankings across the Atlantic. The track has clearly become the standout from the Days of Ash EP, as listeners in the U.K. purchased the tune in large enough figures to send it to both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales chart. “Song of the Future” kicks off its time at No. 89 on the downloads-only tally and at No. 98, in third-to-last place, on the list of the bestselling cuts of any genre or language and via any format throughout the nation.
