Mood as a single[edit]

I'm not even sure why this is becoming an issue all of a sudden but as far as I know it has always been completely normal for an artist to release the lead single to an album prior to confirming or announcing an album and with the ongoing pandemic it is completely normal to see a delay in album release by a long period of time. "Mood" is clearly the lead single to El Dorado. Complex has Goldn stating that he was working on the next few singles and stating that an album would follow "Mood". Another Complex article emphasizes this, referring to "Coco" as the second single. The OCC UK charts and Caller Times also refer to Mood as the lead single. Stereogum refers to 3 2 1 as the third single. The New York Times refers to Coco and 3 2 1 as follow-ups to "Mood". HotNewHipHop also refers to Mood, Coco, and 3 2 1 as prior singles leading up to the release. I believe that Mood is the lead single because

It was released first
The album was confirmed prior to any other single coming out
Mood is not a bonus track
Multiple sources support the chronology of Mood, Coco, 3 2 1

I agree, this seems like a simple case of releasing the lead single before announcing the album, which is quite common. Issan Sumisu (talk) 11:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
